  45. Red Pill I do not have to shut you down, you have no power. I have answered every single nonsense assertion you have made and I am pretty sure at this point you have not read a word I typed except to look for phrases that trigger you. Modern socialism has nothing to do with the promotion of the rich and its history is far less of concern than what it stands for now. It is akin to the brands in Scandinavia or that we had in the days before our golden years of the late 40's. As you babble about dependency on the state it hides of a euphemism for the creation of the shanty towns and crowds of abject poor we see in the 3rd world. It is a literal race to the bottom handing control to the rich and powerful with no check on them. This does nothing for almost anyone except the very very few at the top and is step on the path to true tyranny. The price of paying a pittance in taxes is more than worth the society we live in and all of the "free" societies in the world are nothing but backward holes. If your spin had any merit you would have at least one success story, the fact is you do not. I support Marx the same amount you do, not at all. Your silly straw man field of pretending anyone left of you is a communist is ridiculous. It is base stupid pretending what I am arguing for is remotely similar to communism and it is the goal of no one of importance. To pretend otherwise is dishonest or base dumb. I hate no one, and I consider no one "better than me". That some have more resources because of luck, guile or connections does not make them better. I do believe that we should all pay our share and when you have much more it is more than reasonable you pay more as you gain more benefits not to mention you can afford it without changing your life. There is nothing envious or hateful about that position and it is more than arguable your defense of greed and hoarding does not exactly ring of virtue. Your assertions are the same fact free nonsense I see from your ilk. By your spin it seems you have a declaration from the courts that backs you up. It in fact is not unconstitutional or a challenge would have already been brought. Please cite the case that you base your claim on because I do not see one. What you and your friends think is unconstitutional means as much as what my dog thinks. Cite the case that backs you up or stop making dishonest assertions. The last 40 years since 1970 have seen a massive transfer of wealth from the middle class to the richest. This is attached to the relaxing of campaign laws starting around that time. Over time corporations and the super rich have bought our leaders and have shaped trade, tax and labor policy to favor them transferring vast amounts of wealth from the massive productivity of modern workers while leaving salaries flat absorbing all gains. The current crop of leaders at a federal level on both sides are paid shills of who ever dumps cash in their elections. This has been facilitated by the same people who promote your ultra libertarian spin which would only empowers them further. Our failures and decline are not attached to socialist policy and we have the weakest social safety net in the first world and the most expensive mess of "free market" heath care anywhere. Until we vote for leaders who make decisions based on their constituencies needs and their own principles we will continue to see decline. The costs you point to are not a hindrance to business and in fact it ensures the stable prosperous clean market they need to make money. Those are all costs and in any given business they represent a tiny fraction of all costs of production. No one is just breaking even because of regulations and complaining they are all bad is silly as some are more certainly necessary. Talk about specific regulations and how the harm business and we are likely to agree, blame all the failures on them and you are not going to be attached to reality. I would argue they should not force employers to offer health care at all and instead offer an option for everyone to opt into a public program. I think we should be able to buy into private programs as well forcing real competition. I do not think I am smarter than the founders of the country but I have almost 250 years of perspective on my side they never did. They never expected the country to remain static and added a facility for amendments for a reason. Since then things have changed and that you want to roll back to the 1700's quaint but has all the value of a horse and buggy. You sir are part of no majority and have not been in living memory. You guys did not even win the popular vote forgetting the fact it is a safe bet even most of trumps voters do not buy your spin.
