  1.  @johnmendoza6421  We're already paying - we just want to have the money we are paying go to something different. A little less war and a little more public good would be a nice start. The rich being a bit less rich is another.

  2.  @wackedoutonweed  because, idiot, you are currently only free in so much that the current systems rules only benefit the few, or the one, at the expense of the many. They still have absolute power over you, or are you so naive that you don't see this almighty capitalist dictatorship for what it is? Do us all a favor, dude. Leave the "idiots" and "naive" out of your replies. It might make people a bit more willing to engage in constructive discussion.

  3. ​ @wackedoutonweed  Capitalism has enslaved and slaughtered tens of millions of people and largely left hundreds of millions of others in a financial state ranging from effective poverty to abject poverty and homelessness while enriching the lives of a very few winners and a few million of their enablers. Calling me a confused anarchist proves yet again that I should probably just mute you and move on but I'll try and reach you nonetheless - me and my lost causes. What I envision is a hybridized system where the useful elements of capitalism such as creativity, innovation and individual exceptionalism can continue to flourish along with the rewards of private ownership of material goods, and intellectual property but not at the expense of the general welfare of the full community. There is an obscene hoarding of wealth, property and resources by a small few and fetishization of material prosperity that capitalism encourages and that a socialized democracy can help mitigate with higher taxes on individual incomes from employment and/or investments of over six figures and the effective elimination of a seven figure or larger accumulation of wealth. With strong unions and reinvestment in improved social welfare programs, everyone except for those few financial hoarders will be improved. And by removing healthcare, access to healthy food, clean water, and basic housing from a for-profit system, everyone in the country will benefit instead of a minority of the population. The answer, as with most things, lies somewhere in the middle.

  4. A lot longer than 45 years, my friend. It's always been about class and those of us at the bottom have almost always lost. Those we call oligarchs today we used to call aristocrats and before that they were the nobility. The names change but the song remains the same.

  5. Trolling these boards, triggering the libs, and getting to vote for Trump in 2020 again.

  6.  @jrlovepll1215  They are the GOP. Or more accurately - Trumpublicans.
