crock-it.. I will give you "one" example of socialism and it's evils.. welfare. I will give you an example of where the democrats have made socialism worse than it even needs to be.... Public schools.
If you are talking about business and tax breaks tho.. you get no sympathy from me.. I say "a big round of tax breaks all around.. tax breaks for everyone"
the more tax breaks the better.
"earned income credit" is not a tax break tho.. it is pure evil socialism.
lazs
ok Lazs..
Welfare.. yes I will agree with you that it does get abused. However would you rather we not have welfare at all. Can you not consider the fact that we do somewhat take care of our poor and that it helps society even though it might get abused?
Ever been to Costa Rica Lazs? That is prime example of a country with a good mix of Haves and Have-nots. Where the poor are left to fend for themselves while the well off live behind gated communities with bobwire fences and security guards. Is that what you want America to become Lazs?
You think that this country would be in the same shape it's in now if we had no welfare? You think society would not be worse in this country if we didn't try to take care of the poor?
You know what Lazs I have lived in a home with a single parent who had to go on welfare and use food stamps to put food on the table when I was a kid. I grew up in a home where I didn't have the coolest clothes in junior high school. It wasn't because my mom was lazy she worked a full time job and went to school to continue her education to become a RN nurse.
When I was a kid I had to have a major surgery that insurance didn't fully cover. My mom had to work her bellybutton off to support me and you know what she was on welfare for a short time and even had to use food stamps. I can remember going to the grocery store out side our town because she was embarrassed to have to use food stamps and didn't want anyone to know.
You know what Lazs when I was in high school in 11th grade I got into a job training program so you could get out of school early each day to go work because I qualified being from a low income single parent home. I didn't go work at McDonnalds or at some other useless job I went out and started a lawn business. I took the back seats out of my 1984 Pontiac Phoenix that I paid for with my own money, so I could stuff all the lawn equipment in it.
Hell I had to lie to my teacher and had a property manager signing my paperwork for class, covering for me by saying I worked for them. The teacher eventually figured out what I was doing but she luckily went along with it.
I busted my bellybutton and had 40 accounts by the end of the first year and by the time I sold the business 10 years later, I was doing nothing but govt contracts and large commercial accounts. Hell man I went from went from working out of a 4 door car to having 10 guys working for me with two trucks before I sold the business. I've since owned 3 other business and am in the process of starting another.
Hell man I bought my first house the day I turned 21 with no co signer back in the late 90's when it was much harder to get a loan than what it is today. I've seen both sides of the fence Lazs and I fully support this country taking care of it's citizens that need help. I am a product of your so called evil liberal socialism and I think I've done a pretty damn good job with the limited opportunity I was given and I'd hate to be such a pompous arus to say others shouldn't have that same chance because there are some that abuse the system.
Why is it you call helping out people socialism but never cry about the billions in hands out to big business? Why do you never concider that Socialism Lazs and why do you always run from that topic?
Public Schools are not a product of socialism Larz they are a product of not enough funding.
Just like a typical Republican you are all for tax cuts yet never complain about the outlandish unchecked spending done by the last 3 Republican presidents. You can't have it both ways.. If you cut the taxes then you have to cut the spending which the Republican party doesn't seem to want anything to do with.
