I drink your milkshake! a metaphor for capitalism

[Babagounj]

I have to agree with I've .
The Land of the Free does not mean everybody gets free handouts .
It means if you work hard and apply yourself to it , then in a decade or so you will be successful .

Try reading what former USSR citizen think about it ;

OK, so everyone has an equal chance to succeed in or society? Hardly. You Righties do everything possible to keep the wealth at the top, not realizing you're screwing yourself in the process because the elite are screwing everyone.

Name the freebies, please.

Welfare,food stamps, free phones, free utilities. They are giving adults enough of an allowance that they never want to leave home

I just don't get it....I've always wanted to make my own way.. Nothing wrong with a safety net.
Just give a hand up,not a handout..

 

[DriveInDriveOut]

As long as the Democrats keep passing out freebies, we will never get anywhere

Republicans are just as responsible as the democrats, if not more so.

These aren't exclusive to Democrats. The conditions you describe have been present for 50 years. Are you referring to those colored people again, not just adults? I kind of think you might be doing just that.

Please don't go all black on me. I never said a certain race was being guilty of taking handouts. I believe I went over this before.

Ah, the mantra of "redistribution", as in Liberals want to take from the rich and subsidize the poor. The GOP has gotten a lot of mileage out of this and continues to do so, all the while protecting the aristocracy.

You and the rest of the Righties on here are always bitching about our bad economy etc., but the top dogs have done well and continue to do so because they are the direct beneficiaries of RTW, anti-union legislation, and pro-corporate breaks that keep the middle class down and increase the number of low-paying jobs.

The rich get richer, and the poor get poorer. Evening the playing field is not redistribution, nor is it theft, but that's what the GOP wants you to believe.

And you do, because you don't know any better.

I don't need the GOP to educate me. I just have to look at my paycheck and see the money the government takes from me. then go to the local seafood market and watch the "poor" buying expensive seafood with their food stamp cards .

Go to a military base if you want to see where your money is being wasted.

you're like a stalker . you should get help.

Republicans are just as responsible as the democrats, if not more so.

In other words, the Democrats keep people in the bonds of poverty and welfare to GET THEIR VOTES.

Because they clearly won't vote for any Republican.

I've been there.

And I don't see any waste.

So where is it being wasted?

 

[Babagounj]

Sorry all the military bases near me have been shut down .

That should tell you something .

You are only entitled to have a chance to better yourself, not sponge off of others.

Let's look at
Socialist Venezuela
No toilet paper , food lines, blackouts and starting soon no phone service .
The gov't decides which companies can get US Dollars to pay their suppliers and no payments mean no international services .
The blackouts are from the state owned power company which uses water as it source and Venezuela is in a drought .
And now the world’s most renowned banknotes, coins and paper printing house, De La Rue, based in England, demanded that the Central Bank of Venezuela pay up US$262,647,997 in fees for printing money and passports, among other goods.
So what does the gov't propose to fix this , why change the time zones and give everyone Fridays off .

isnt venezuela an enemy of USA? im sure the us government is not responsible at all for their economy in the ter LOL

not saying putting the whole economy under total state control is any better idea than privatizing everything

Republican politicians have done nothing to stop it.
They only pretend to be against it, to GET YOUR VOTES.

I'm not, but Right Wing media is always nibbling around the edges of saying that Blacks and Hispanics get all the freebies. They will never come out and say it directly.

Do you realize how many white lazy people their are leeching off of society?

Honestly I can't believe how many people do absolutely nothing and are proud of "getting over on the man"
