I could give you a logical answer, why most people disagree with it. Because when you can't make everybody rich, you have to make everybody poor, excluding the elite who are the ones at the top of the pyramid. I tell you what, set a good example for all us here at PW, by doing what is required to support such a society. Divide your 'wealth' (cash and material goods) by 100. Give away to 99 people 1% each of your wealth, and retain only 1% for yourself. After all, other people will voluntarily do the same, and soon you will have as much wealth as you started with, right?

I respect you, but you have to look at the info or ![]() you'll be like 99% of the others on the internet- misinformed about your opponent and repeating talking points. you don't know if most people or all or any people disagree with the platform Cortez puts forth. it isn't socialism as a form of government. its a better social safety net. also they want to re-institute the glass steigal act , which would be a very good thing for the economy of the nation. besides looking at society and how we survive with a vibrant future as opposed to -like we have now- devolving down into oligarchy or worse. prison reform, immigration reform, etc

![]() As our economy continues to get better and better, the left gets more rabid in their hate. Take, for instance, Shiva's signature, what a flipping hoot it is.
The Left cares absolutely NOTHING for we tax paying citizens, all the Left cares about are the illegals flooding our country AND they care about their hatred. I couldn't live like that.

I don't repeat 'talking points' - I do my own research on things that are of concern to me or interest me. I will on occasion even take points you bring up and research them. ![]() In order to fund these 'better social nets', the only way to fund them is, well, socialistic taxation. In other words, socialism. Working to put the majority of the fruits of your labors into a common pool to support others is rather blatantly socialistic. Assisting people who cannot support themselves, or assisting the aged is for the betterment of the general society. Forking over more money to be put in a common pool to assist those who didn't bother doing it for themselves, is to the detriment of those who did. I've asked the question an untold number of times, and I've yet to get a sane answer. At what point is helping someone else a detriment to myself? The basic, very basic answer, is when I have to look to someone else to pay my way. And that is exactly what socialistic policies do.

What I think is lacking for some, is the understanding of where 'free' whatever comes from. They think the government just pulls money from thin air... oh wait, they do. Which is really effective at devaluing the money that those who do work 'create'.

![]() Still waiting on Salty or any of the other Socialism supporters to answer the questions posed to these young idiots. Apparently, the questions are too tough to answer and still support socialism.
