Comments by "c. j. macq" (@cjmacq-vg8um) on "Ana Kasparian Drops Mic On Right-Wing Pundit" video.
I spoke to a dane on you tube the other day and he said he was ECSTATIC at paying 65% income tax. why? 100% of his take home pay goes to recreational purchases and ALL his necessities are taken care of. his medical care, his education, his housing and food are greatly subsidized,. his only worries are on how to spend his income on frivolities and recreation. so it all depends on where you set your priorities. do you want freedom and leisure time? or do you want to spend your entire life worrying and stressing about how you're gonna pay rent, whether your gonna chose food or medical care this month or a lifetime of wage and debt slavery and if you'll even have job next week. personally, I choose non-stress over stress any day! I choose freedom over business slavery any day! I choose social equality over the elite getting EVERYTHING any day! but you're still confusing democratic socialism with liberalism.

uuhhh, sorry but democratic socialism DOES want to 'over throw" the corruption, greed and slavery of capitalism! what ana just described is classic liberalism which has failed in accomplishing the things she listed as wanting BECAUSE they can't be achieved under the iron fist of the elite who thrive on capitalist corruption. on a rare occasion some of those things, like social security, can co-exist with capitalist but they are under CONSTANT threat and prove to be short lived. so, you CAN'T be a socialist of ANY kind and accept the cruelty of capitalism. here's the text book difference between democratic socialism and "socialism." socialists wish to overthrow capitalism through violent revolution while democratic socialists want to achieve it through peaceful democratic means. that's THE ONLY difference between the two!

+anita… you're right. capitalism is govt support and funding to keep the rich rich and to make them richer. its the rich who receive all the tax breaks and loopholes, who receive all the govt subsidies and contracts, and who's massive advantages are enforced by the govt. remember, fascists WANT big govt, they just want it to enforce fascist policies and to enforce the elitist will.
