What's the difference between Capitalism and Socialism? Capitalism and socialism are somewhat opposing schools of thought in economics. The central arguments in the socialism vs. capitalism debate are about economic equality and the role of government. Socialists believe economic inequality is bad for society,...

Oh, I think the Tea Party, Republicans and all Right Wingers in general are all for socialism. They just think a different category of person should benefit, and when their chosen group benefits, they call it Capitalism.
I think its fairly obvious most commenting didn't watch that guys presentation of his thoughts and ideas on Capitalism and that it has outlived its usefulness. I took away from it that while Capitalism has motivated many people through their own selfish ambitions and greed to do great things for the greater good, it has now come to a point where they really DON"T have to do anything but oppress others to maintain wealth and gain more.
In other words, it's had it's day. And let's just be clear on one thing-When sharing resources and money amongst ALL in our nation is the ideology, the right wingers hatefully spit out the word "socialism" to describe it.
When we favor the wealthy, set laws, regulations and policies to allow money to be taken from the masses and placed in the hands of the elite few and grant them exemptions to paying their full tax burdens at the same rate as the masses, then the right wingers reverently extol the virtues of Capitalism (which is just socialism favoring the wealthy-but still socialism and redistributing wealth from one part of society to another none the less.)
Since our friends like to post links, here are some for you reporting on the fact that Corporate Welfare exceeds social welfare substantially in America. Our welfare queens aren't the poor, food stamp folks.... they are our "job creators" who don't create jobs, our "innovators" who only innovate new ways to take more money from the rest of us and pay nothing in return.
The page you're looking for doesn't exist. But statistically speaking, you'll find something interesting here anyway.
The federal budget is filled with outrageous, inappropriate, useless, counterproductive, and simply wasteful spending.
Romney has little to say about the many American companies whose profits rely, in one form or another, on government assistance.
Corporate welfare in the form of tax breaks, subsidy and favorable regulations costs way more than food stamps.
Like I said before, who do you think has more influence to gain favor in Washington? The Food Stamp recipient with no money, job or home with which to buy influence, or the Corporate Fat Cat with Billions to burn on lobbyists and buying more favors?
This isn't Rocket Science. If you think the Food Stamp Queen is the problem, you aren't bothering to look very far into it.

Democrat Mantra "you can't beat free?" Really? Care to show me somewhere that is a stated platform?Originally posted by mudslinger47 View PostAnd like I said before, the welfare queen and her troop....remember the Democrat mantra, you can't beat free...thats what the Democrats promise their constituents...problem is somebody has to pay for it...and the Tnei's of the works always forget that....
I and many like me do not want anything for free. We just want to live in a nation where we don't worship the wealthy and their money and prostrate ourselves at the feet of the almighty God of Wall Street, $$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$.
The person who forgets who's paying for what stares at you each morning in the mirror, Duane. You are paying for corporate tax breaks, subsidies, etc every day. You just choose to ignore that (see my other comments about socialism is acceptable to you as long as the right people are getting the redistributed money) and instead cling to your tired old cliché stereotype that food stamps are the largest handout of government. They aren't.

This is another myth promoted by the right. If you have an education, you MUST be ignorant and stupid.Originally posted by mudslinger47 View PostWhen they said where the guy was from, I knew it was down hill from there....nuther over-educated stupid person...
It's the perfect way to convince people to mistrust truth and fact. Just play on their insecurities (you aren't smart, and anyone with a college education or advanced degrees MUST NOT be trusted because you don't have enough smarts to see how they're fooling you.... Just listen to good old Rushbo and Sara Palin, they'll tell you the tru(what you want to hear)th.)

I keep thinking to myself, "I feel sorry for this guy" but then a huge dose of this ignorance is posted time after time, I just consider the source and can only pray that there aren't too many of these people who sold their souls to a concept of lies in this nation.Originally posted by t.nie View PostOh, I think the Tea Party, Republicans and all Right Wingers in general are all for socialism.

There are people learning every day the real truth, but tnie keeps missing the bus, on purpose. Like most liberals they will NEVER admit when they are wrong about anything. So we consider the source and remain vigilant for the good fight!
