So, according to your logic when eBay bought PayPal does that mean the people who received the money can pay back eBay and get the company back?
Again, government passed legislation several years ago, which puts nearly every aspect of American's health care in the hands of government. If you want to play semantics games, that's fine... Marxist Socialists are NEVER honest about their socialist policies.
Casinos are run by rules. Does them mean the government owns all the casinos? Governments make rules concerning cars for both manufacturers and owners. Does that mean the government owns your car?
I never said the EPA and IRS take over industries. I stated that they CONTROL them with various regulations and mandates. Switching the conversation to discuss matters of local public health, which can be (an usually are) dealt with by local officials, is not helping you to refute any point I have made.
We all live by rules. Because there are speed limits does that mean the government controls you? Because you can’t throw your garbage on the street does that mean the government controls you?
Honestly, Dix. You don’t make any sense. You have an irrational fear and you should try to find out the cause.
Okay, so you are trying now to prove that socialists are not instigating class warfare socialist strategy by parroting more class warfare rhetoric? That's a strange take, I must say!
No class warfare. Just ensuring fairness.
The "wealthy" don't pay less income tax on capital gains. They pay the exact same rate as you and I pay on capital gains. All money should be taxed the same? What about money received by welfare recipients? What about the incomes of 48% of America who are currently not paying ANY income tax? Class warfare is a tool used by Marxists to implement socialist policy. Plain and simple!
And who is more likely to earn money from capital gains? Let’s suppose the tax system was changed so people who earn money from low-paying, manual labor jobs paid a lower percentage than people who earned money from high paying white collar jobs. That would even be more fair. After all, anyone could get a low-paying, manual labor job. Not everyone is capable of investing and realizing capital gains. Would you consider that fair?
Yes, Democrat Marxist Socialists have been hard at work for many decades in this country, implementing Marxist Socialist policies, so it is no surprise a lot of our current system follows the Marxist Socialist model. This is not a reason to continue on the path to Communism. Sorry!
Sorry, indeed. Perhaps you can point out which of the following countries are currently Communist. You’ll notice the date they implemented government medical.
Norway….1912
New Zealand….1938
Japan….1938
Germany….1941
Belgium….1945
United Kingdom….1948
Now, I know Communism is a creeping critter to you but 100 years and the Norwegians are still waiting. Seventy-five years for the New Zealanders. Also, when would you say government medical has proven itself? Certain folks, yourself included, keep saying government medical is not viable and point to countries which complain about medical costs. When would you say government medical has proven itself? After 25 years? 50 years? 100 years? A millennium?
No, because they do not have a Constitution or Constitutional rights protected by said Constitution, and no authority to enforce breaches to those non-existent rights. Therefore, any 'appearances' of free-market capitalism are mere illusions for show, so that nit wits like yourself, can run around the message boards pointing to them as 'examples' when they really aren't. China and Russia (there is no USSR anymore) are Communist countries, the government has full control over the people and businesses, and they ultimately call all the shots.
So, unless a country has a Constitution it can never be a capitalist country?
As for nit-wits pointing out examples if one can point to government medical or public transport and claim a country is Communist why can’t nit-wits point out an example of private business and claim Capitalism? If a country requires a Constitution in order to be considered Capitalist wouldn’t the opposite apply and countries require a Communist manifesto or Communist Constitution to be considered Communist? Do you ever think things through before posting? Do you ever think, period?
Capitalism doesn't fail, it has NEVER failed, any time it has ever been tried or attempted. It ALWAYS succeeds! The US, up until Obamacare, had the BEST health care system in the entire world. No other health care system has come anywhere close in terms of research, technical advancement, ground-breaking procedures, finding cures, developing vaccines, or treating the indigent. NOTHING the government can ever do, will eliminate all pain and suffering for all people.... just doesn't happen in OUR universe... only in Liberal Utopia, and we can't afford that.
So, having 45,000 people dying each year due to a lack of medical insurance, in the richest country in the world, is success? If the health care system is so good why do the citizens in countries with government plans live as long as or longer than in the US? Or is living and health care two different things in your world?
Do you consider having a private health care facility with expensive wall hangings and landscaped grounds where people die at 78 considered superior to an inner city health care facility where the patients live to be 80?
You really must educate yourself on this, Dixie, even if it’s just for your own peace of mind.
"May your reality be as pleasant as mine."
