    I've had more than one lefty say such a system is necessary because people, given the opportunity to opt out, wouldn't save anything and we'd have to support them in their old age. It can't get any clearer than that to see that the plan was to control.
    Why not make it mandatory to contribute to your own 401k? Because that would eliminate the control that Democrat politicians crave.

    So if you go to jail, who pays for it? You?

    And how will anyone know if you are not using parks?

    Privatize The Profits/ Socialize The Losses

    Obama did indeed attempt to do some good but I knew we were off to another right leaning start as soon as it was clear that no bankster would be held accountable for the 2008 Wall Street debacle.
    Pelosi and the DNC led that charge of not holding the Bush Admin accountable. In fact, she worked with him on the war on Iraq. It's why I did not and do not fully support her. The Black Caucus wanted him impeached........but once again, we were ignored.

    President Obama had to do what the establishment wanted him to do. Look how many dems ran against him 2016. He could not and would to go out on his own like dump does now.

    President Obama would have been impeached if he didn't present the status quo.

    Guaranteed public education

    Fire departments
    Police departments
    Public libraries
    Every branch of the US military
    Roads & highways
    Bridges & tunnels
    Social Security
    Medicare/Medicaid
    Public, not private prisons & jails
    Public hospitals
    The Veterans Affairs Administration
    Public universities
    Public parks
    National parks

    And that is not even a complete list, so get the "F" off the grid if you are so insulted and infuriated by Democratic Socialism!
    Dear dumb fuck. Everything on that list is a service paid for by taxes generated by capitalism. The government does not pay for any of that, working taxpayers do. Seriously, shut the fuck up and get an education.

    I respected Obama and voted for him twice but he was too Centrist and handled the GOP with kid gloves because he did not want to be perceived as the angry black man. We needed an ass-kicker, take no prisoners, stand up to the GOP POTUS after Bush and Obama was not that guy. And the optics of seeing Michelle Obama cozy with Dubya these days is not exactly heartwarming.
    BLUEXIT
    A Modest Proposal For Separating Blue States From Red

    Dear Red-State Trump Voter,
    Let’s face it, guys: We’re done.


    It is a tragedy that so much of the work that so many men and women toiled at for so long to make this a better country, and a better world, has been thrown away, leaving us all in such needless peril.

    This is why our separation in all but name is necessary.

    Evidently, an old white man is "that guy".

    So who do you think would have gotten in the face of Pelosi and the DNC and forced/convinced them to hold Bush and his administration accountable?

    Socialism is government ownership of the means of production. Period, end of story.

    Oh Jesus Fucking Christ. That is what socialism is!!!! Private ownership vs. public. Is a park a private ownership? No? Are libraries? Public roads? And so on. Learn to differentiate before you embarrass yourself further.

    No. That isn't what it means. It is the community ownership of the means of production. You're thinking of Communism.

    Blacks are lazy fucks who don't pay taxes. The white man doesn't want his taxes going towards giving them lazy fuck welfare, education or healthcare.......
