America became the greatest superpower in the world due to a capitalist free market economy and a constitutional republic. We accept all cultures from all nations and have the strongest military in the world.
With Socialism, you get Greece.
Now you can drone on all those lib talking points that CNNMSNBCABC media throw at you, but you won't admit what I stated is true since liberalism is shrouded in keeping people down, ill-informed, and in denial.
See, this is the problem with right-wing cognitive disconnect and a lack of historical education. America was at the height of its power when its taxation and control on the rich and the corporations were highest - 50% - and most of the working public were involved in trade-unions. It produced quality goods and sold them to the world. Trickle-up economics works, trickle-down doesn't.
The elites didn't much care for this so set about changing it. They repeat the big lie - socialism is bad - your ilk believe it after hearing it so long. So it's not long before there's massive deregulation, free trade - which ships all your jobs overseas, and shifting the tax burden to the middle and lower class. And now you have America today which makes nothing, is in debt up to its eyeballs, and is a shadow of its former self.
This is what happened in Greece and in Spain. That is, and always has been, the fault of the right and the sheeple that swallow their bullshit. Like any good right-wing sheep you certainly won't let the facts stand in the way of your irrational and hypocritical beliefs. You're the very definition of that asshole protesting the democrats telling the 'socialists' to 'keep their damn hands off his medicare'. Lol! Jesus, you guys that complain the loudest wouldn't survive two weeks without the government.
How many were on welfare and foodstamps during your unspecified "height of power"? Go ahead, find the answer then try again.
Is that some kind of argument? "Go find some information that I have deemed important as a rebuttal, even though I'm implying that I already have this information but choose not to share it."
"The whole problem with the world is that fools and fanatics are always so certain of themselves, but wiser people so full of doubts." -- Bertrand Russell (I think...)
