GOP senator introduces resolution to formally condemn socialism
..."Resolution without a Solution" ... sounds bad to me. So Capitalism is working great, huh? Actually, our capitalism is functioning quite poorly as a
true capitalism. The biggest concern being that we're spending way more than is coming in, and the Nat'l Debt keeps going up, up, up. Both parties are at fault, but
Trickle Down "tax cutting" on the rich, and expecting something positive to happen has created a lot of the problem. If your pay goes DOWN, makes sense that spending has to go down as well. We can't keep robbing our government of functioning
revenue and expect positive things to happen. Yet Republicans still make it their
platform.
"Insantity ... doing the same thing over and over and expecting a different results."
...You know, capitalism fails when wealth distribution is so lopsided, as it is now; more wealth in fewer hands doesn't sell confidence to the
"have nots" of the world. I don't think our liberal politicians are pushing for
pure socialism, but simply trying to "correct" for the revenue robbing tax cutting. I'm pretty sure if they were, people would be hollering a lot more and louder than they are now. Republicans can't cut entitlements no more than Republicans can raise the tax rates when they're in control. Thus, we have deficit spending and a runaway national debt & run
.. Where capitalism is ALL about "profit", having some form of socialism makes production of goods & services
less about profit. Capitalism is a system of
"exploitation" and less about "free markets" these days. We're allowing the big corporations to rise yet again, obtaining humongous power & control. They run over the
"little guys" then send their jobs overseas for cheaper labor. Hell, even Trump does it ... then denies it. More jobs going overseas means fewer working class HERE to buy goods & services. The law of Supply & Demand sets prices for goods & services. A frik'n doodoo bird could figure this out after a while, just not Republicans.
Remember, the Constitution says "promote the general welfare". The rich aren't going to do a damn thing about equality ... its all about money to them. Trump's trying to run this country like a business. Just remember he's FAILED many times in his history, except NOW he's playing with OUR MONEY not his.
Time to wake up and smell a new brew of coffee in 2020 ...
