No system has been more successful at pulling people out of poverty than capitalism. Socialism puts more people into poverty. The more socialism in the country the more poverty there is.....

Perfect example of Fake News that is picked up by every Left Wing media outlet and not long after Debunked and proven fake right out of the horses mouth!!.....

Nothing better than a good long day of Trump bashing and find out that you have to stick you head back in the sand, and speaking of sand this is plastered all across the Middle East and local news sites Left, Right, Center, you can choose for yourself:)
One thing to add, I guarantee that Putin is really getting a good laugh on all of this........

Re: Interesting. Have at it Meg and Idol.....
Every news site in reporting the orginal Buzzfeed story prefixed it with " in a story yet to be substantiated by any other news organization". I'm pretty sure that is what you call being responsible.
Unlike say your beloved Faux.

Odd thing but none of the supposed socialist countries are actually socialist but more along the line of dictatorships.
Canada, the Netherlands and most of the Nordic countries on the other hand are socialistic, which we are more or less refering to here and none of them seem too bad. I mean except for Finland, it's a shithole.

Curious how you think Canada is a socialist country?? Do you mean partial?? Full??
Reading some of the comments on the article, comparing a socialist platform to communist dictatorship, does that make sense??
Also a question asked is anyone that has a Billion dollars, everything over that should be taxed 100%?? So someones self worth or success should be shut down and penalized for it?? Is that a motivation ?? Or beca
I mean people used to think a millionaire was unfair?? now that is ok but a Billionaire should be restricted?? What happens when you want to live in a city and a average house cost is a million?? Should socialism kick in and say no that shouldn't happen that an average person can't afford it??
Or the hard working person with some luck and success should be entitled?? Capitalism??
If we are a socialist Country here Idol?? Why is there inflation and the cost of living increases?? Why is there no one dictating the cost of food or rent or Gas prices?? In a socialist country do they have casinos or race tracks?? Do they dictate how much you gamble?? Or the local people can't gamble and it is for tourist to have fun, because they live in a Capitalists place and can choose what they do with there income??
Or do they have lotteries there to give someone hope to become a wealthy person?? Does Socialism allow that?? Or is that for the corrupt and people in power to play because they are allowed to live as a Capitalist and keep there people at the level of living they choose ??
All interesting how you take a simple word like socialist and how many people define it differently???

Re: Interesting. Have at it Meg and Idol.....
I meant socialistic and made the correction because I'm stupid.
Anyway US tax rates.
Historical top federal income tax rates, 1915-2010: 35 percent: The top federal income tax rate for the 2010 taxes due April 15.
39.6 percent: Top tax rate in 2000.
31 percent: Top tax rate in 1991.
50 percent: Top tax rate in 1986.
70 percent: Top tax rate in 1980.
91 percent: Top tax rate in 1963.
84.4 percent: Top tax rate in 1950.
94 percent: Top tax rate in 1945.
And immense wealth is usually not a result of hard work as statistically most people with fortunes are born into them. They may add to them but that's not the same as starting with nothing.
Seriously though and I've already mentioned it, people making this much money aren't really doing it for the money after a certain point so it would not be a burden to use some of that excess to help the country that gave them all that wealth out. Not to mention maybe having some compassion for say all the children that have to go hungry. What's that, no and it's "their" money and fuck everyone else and I'm buying another house I never use.

They never call themselves News Reporters, more News Informers ??
Just as we agreed on the Newsroom show, and too bad when you hear Fox News, or CNN news, or MSNBC news or City TV news, you should be able to watch and see unbiased reporting without an opinion from the person telling you it, and it should be truthful....
I had my son and girlfriend over last night for dinner , and i brought up the discussions i was having in this site, and his comment was they don't believe any news that is reported on any of theses main stream places or even the radical ones, they look and see what is happening in reality or on the ground if that makes sense??
And the reasoning?? His girlfriends comment was what has always sold the most?? Tabloid news crap!! How many real news stations have financial interests in some sort or smut or tabloid media?? Most of them, so if they lose money on the real news stations and make large on fake, propaganda, crap!!, time to change how we tell/show/sell the news. To make money!!!! Socialism or Capitalism???
Then it was hard to explain, ya in a Democracy almost all news media is privately owned or public, not government, so how about places like Russia, Middle East, Asia?? Usually funded and Government controlled right?? Socialist?? How much truth are you going to get or expect out of that?? Or better yet are your Democracy enemies ever going to tell the truth??
Very interesting how the younger generation think today, and they did also mention they listen to pod casts of things?? Not sure if you do?? (I don't), but to me that sounds like a Hannity cult thing to do:lol:
One actually talked about how corn is so cheap why are corn chips Doritos so expensive to buy?? Well shortening up... Doritos are owned by Pepsi, and because of Trump and the tariffs on China aluminum it is costing more on making the cans so they are loosing money so if they raise the price of colas they will loose more, because of completion but everyone is still going out to buy Doritos, so raising the price had zero effect!!. Yet everyone on the planet knows corn is so cheap!!!!
Now hearing that you would figure this left wing pod caster would say boycott Doritos right?? Not a chance!!! Ends the pod cast by saying he is now going out to buy and enjoy his Cheesy Doritos :lol:. Now a socialist thinking guy feeding Capitalistic thinking?? Hmmmmm...
And it is too bad the pod caster didn't mention that Pepsi just purchased Soda Stream for Billions (Gee where is that invented and made :D).......
Socialist or Capitalism even in the Middle East .....

"I meant socialistic and made the correction because I'm stupid". You are far from stupid Idol;), I knew that was a point there and it is true we are in Canada and do have socialistic things, but do we want to stretch them out to more government control?? Are they really doing a good job??
Is there really any civilian oversight, on what they are doing?? Well i can tell you Fuck NO!!!! I have experienced it personally on our health care!!!
If there was a 2 tier system implemented here ?? I am in!!!! Because the fact is the Government doesn't give a shit on my opinions on what could be saved and what could be corrected in our health care system!!!!, and the first would be the hundreds of employees on a board that is supposed to be correcting the problems, paying out huge!!! salaries to these people and it could be cut t down to nothing and put that money where it is needed!!!
And let them sit at home and do fuck all instead of getting paid and doing nothing!!! That is fact!!!
If you ever really want to have a discussion on what goes on in a Hospital and Rehab centers here you let me know!!!! A 2 tier system would be fine with me!!!!!! Socialism or Capitalism??
Looking at the stats Idol, not sure if i can look at that and say ya the rich get richer and find loop holes to pay less tax?? But you can't blame them for that right??
Or is the population growing faster and producing more middle class, or in some cases if the parents that hold the wealth and live to be in there 90's the transfer of the wealth to kids doesn't show in the middle populous?? That is they do inherit it and not donated to the humane society or something:unsure:...
It is like a parent that owns a company or practice, and brings the children in as employees not owners?? The bulk wealth is not transferred yet but it is shared to save tax at the top?? Been there seen that.......
Your last comment, i can look at it in many ways, Yes i agree with you whole heartily!!, people should give back, and it is funny the real rich are stingy that way unless there is a way to make more money out of it?? Tax Breaks!!! Ahhhh!!, so even if they pay less taxes but give to charities or fund things is that not incentive to do it??. Now if you forcibly tax the wealth, they will find ways to hide and funnel it elsewhere just out of spite!!!. Call it Greedy Human Nature.......
The biggest problem Idol , is some rich are just not built to help anyone except family, it may be wrong in some eyes but it is just how they are built, and fear that what happens if there is a chance to loose money?? Providing for family comes first. So taking into account the cost of living today how much is enough?? And the problem is to have it grow as fast as it is spent?? So if you take a philosophy of say having 3 children, educating them feeding them clothing them etc. and now do they ever leave your pocket?? Say Yes?? But as a parents nature(or at least mine), even if they don't need it now if i can help them for there kids future that comes first...
Example... You said buying a house/condo somewhere warm and it stays empty for say the summer you live in Canada. Do you consider that a waste?? Where is the line drawn??
What happens if i buy 2 condos and one is for my kids and grandchildren and they can only use it for 2 months a year?? Is that a waste?? Instead should i have given that money to a needy person?? Am i wrong i want my kids and grandchildren to enjoy life even know they never!!! asked or wanted it?? It was my choice., What happens if you take your assumption and ya the wealthy owner buys a house but never uses it himself?? But he lets employees or friends or rents it out?? What now?? He/She is not allowed to do that??And yes the loophole!!!! real estate investment!!! and fuck i am pissed i wasn't invited to use it knowing it was empty at the time:D lets sick Socialism on them!!!!!
The same and it has happened... What happens if you give your millions and your surplus that you have left is dwindled because the market losses or bad investments, or your companies go bad!!. Are other people going to feel sorry for me and help myself or just say oh too bad for you??
Again how much is enough?? you have a million, now you want two, now ten, so if i make it by hard work or grow it because of the original hard work, who is to tell me what i buy or do with it?? What happens if i have a Billion and i give away 10 million and someone says well you still have so much why don't you give more?? Not thank you for giving??
Should a billionaire give it all away and live in a 1 bedroom apartment ?? Socialism???
Yes!!!! Rich people should give to help others, but dictating how much they give away or what they are allowed to keep will never work, especially if they want to avoid corruption and chaos.....
Edit: Funny doesn't Socialism really give government control?? Who the heck wants that!!! Freedom with laws of the Land is what i want, not dictations!!
I would think if you take that meaning of the "LEFT" freedom of choice, they are marching everywhere causing violents and chaos!! , to me they don't understand the concept of having free things without government control, is that not Hypocritical or just plain stupidity!!!!!

In your thought and agreeing with you Why was that approved?? and how long will it take to get back??? Bringing Jobs or not?? Amazon was going there and would have paid for it all itself!!!

First no one is calling for open borders lest of all the Democrats as they see that it's currently an untenable position if you are trying to get elected. Second, I'd take my chances any day in a Nordic country over hardcore right wing places where "freedom" equates to being allowed to own unlimited guns.

Well it is a good thing there is not enough far left Democrats voted in that you may have a chance to say they don't want open boarders, but that is growing in the party... And truly agree with you on making sure the guns don't end up in bad hands, but saying not having laws to have guns i don't.And i could say with confidence as of now i wouldn't own one if i lived in the US..
Really we should be discussing how the fuck our borders are not doing more to keep the guns coming in from the US!!!
Every minute you hear of a gun incident here now!!! Whats up with that!!! for sure Meg has something to do with it!!!

Ok, interesting, now who do you want/think should be in control of this to actually work for the people?? If you were actually thinking Bernie Sanders if he won?? Well being real he knew he could never win!! But the people running his camp were excellent in putting unrealistic ideas out there better word "brainwash" the weak. And all been debunked and impossible to implement..
Just saying:idunno:, but it was interesting watching Bernies Flock, sometimes i tried to count how many illegals were at his rallies, or better yet how many were actually old enough to vote??.Or the one that should be the most important had actual jobs!! Again just saying:whistling
Who should be making the decisions on what is fair and just and boundaries and standards?? Who is going to judge what state gets what?? Or you think they should all be treated the same??
Question for Idol?? Do you think if we didn't have healthcare here (even know it is shit!!!), do you think minimum employees wages/salaries would be lower??

Bernie had a small fanatical faction, he could never have gained enough popular vote because he wasn't mainstream enough. If the democrats forerunner had been someone else other than Clinton he would have gone out earlier too. Have politicians learnt from the trump-factor, the rise of populism, otherwise we could see a repeat for his reelection.

To be honest NQQ, you could almost look at both campaigns of Trump and Sanders, between the rallies and there followers it looked the same in a matter of speaking.....
What really amazed me til the end is the majority of the Media never picked up the strength of the votes for Trump, and was that because of bad data or just plain denial of the journalist reporting of what the people of the US were looking for in there new President?? Bashing Trump and saying he didn't have a chance on winning?? I am just not sure what the goal is on some media outlets today??
Well you can say heads rolled with Buzzfeed and Huffington Post, lots of staff and reporters canned!!
And now looking how the Democratic party is being built?? and the candidates for the next President? I can't see really how Trump can lose??
Next if you call it pressure from the Democrats or a strategy Trump has opening the government, lets see if he gets his wall or now called barrier:01:

Good points Idol, but again Sanders doesn't really have Democratic values/ideas, he reeks independent fundamentals,or the saying "Left", but going forward now he has opened up new generation of running Democrats and changed the agenda of the party.
I have said that using the name Democrats or Republicans don't have the same meaning anymore, now you have to do more research on actual policies, each party is promoting/pushing.....

Re: Interesting. Have at it Meg and Idol.....
I think people should be celebrating the fact that a candidate doesn't have coporate Democractic values as those values often tend to fly in the face of actual democracy. You can use Hillary as an example of coporate Democrat if you want.

Ok, your point is noted buddy. So if i was an American and i say she was too far right for the Dem party and now you have tons of new candidates looking for the goal line to beat out Trump, as long as they actually have a plan out there and not just babble and unrealistic views that can never happen, or better yet just don't go on TV or Media and bash Trump, with zero agenda to help the country??, i really hope there is someone that will be backed financially and exist..
There is always hope.......

Re: Interesting. Have at it Meg and Idol.....
People keep banging on about socialism, capitalism, realism, buggerism and all sorts of other ism's, but what is the real difference between being poor in a rich country and being poor in a poor country.
Well, when you live in a rich culture where there is money, you complain about not having the breaks in life, being subject to a drug culture, living at the ends of your means, suffering at the hands of those with wealth, and finding out that your invite to the 'Jeremy Kyle Show' has been rescinded due to the show being taken off air.
When you live in a poor culture, you don't give a shit about politics, beaurocracy or any of the other shit that people complain about, such as poor broadband speed. The only thing you are concerned about is where your next meal is coming from, whether you have enough water to stay hydrated, and whether the Red Cross will get you that life saving medicine to keep your family alive.
Fuck me!!! We first world countries have got it real tough haven't we.
-
Re: Interesting. Have at it Meg and Idol.....
Their are plenty of poor people in a rich culture that are concerned about where their next meal is coming from, will have clean drinking water to stay hydrated, will have a roof over their head, will be warm in the winter. Many people have a misconception of what poor is (or that it even exists in first world countries, which it does).

They obviously haven't heard of food banks, tap water or cardboard boxes.

Re: Interesting. Have at it Meg and Idol.....
There aren't that many food banks around, especially in rural areas. Hard to have tap water (which is terrible in many places and undrinkable) if you don't have a home.
-
Re: Interesting. Have at it Meg and Idol.....
I'm pretty sure that being desperately poor is equally horrible no matter the country. The only possible difference are there are some mechanisms in place in richer countries to help people a bit. These mechanisms sadly aren't a viable option for eveyone though even where they exist.
The commie in me says the best solution is to eat the rich.
