Why do you Dems hate Capitalism?
We don't.Why do you Dems hate Capitalism?
Why do you Dems hate Capitalism?
Let me ask some equally stupid questions:
1. Why are Conservatives all racists?
2. Why are all priests pedophiles?
3. Why are Irish people all drunks?
4. Why can't ND win the Nat'l Championship every year?
5. Why can't people believe that Global Warming is just fake news?
6. Isn't Sean Hannity the best?
7. Who doesn't think that Ann Coulter is hot?
8. Boy, hasn't Trump done a great job of draining the swamp?
9. Who's the Mueller guy that people keep complaining about?
10. Does everyone really need healthcare and access to quality eduction?
If the country is pushing the education you received, maybe no education is better.It beyond belief, but trump supporters don’t believe in education.

Great job. This has nothing to do with my comment that most trump supporters think education is unnecessary.I’m not a Trump supporter, but I also 100% don’t believe in taking taxpayers’ money to pay for a bunch of lazy kids to get 2.0 GPA’s in college.
I also don’t believe anybody can tell me how to best use my money.
The reason certain people are successful is because they make good judgements, & don’t need others to tell them how to use their wealth.
I actually give a lot less now than I used to once I moved up another tax bracket & had much more taken from me. The funny thing is a can guarantee the amount I was giving & who I was giving it to was much, much, much more beneficial than what is being done with what they are taking from me now.
Intelligent, successful people do way more with their donations than the idiots who take it from them to give to freeloaders.
I donated my money & time to help inner-city youth off the streets & to get into college. Our program is WAY more successful than the crap the government now takes my money to give to freeloading, lazy, excuse makers.
Great job. This has nothing to do with my comment that most trump supporters think education is unnecessary.
I say parents, just as we have with ours. Thanks for asking. Why?Hahaha a leftist has the nerve to mention education
Riddle me this
Whom shall decide for parents where their their their children attend school
-The parents or even parent
-Or the teachers union
I'll wait for an answer
I say parents, just as we have with ours. Thanks for asking. Why?
That’s what I thought. I don’t understand why. Parents should be able to send their child where they feel is best for their situation.The left disagrees

Those in positions of power within the left not only feel that way but demonize anyone that isn't in 100% agreementI don’t think the entire “left” feels that way. Unfortunately the loud minority pushes what they feel will allow their political advancement.
The gay democrat from South Bend who is running for President strongly disagrees with a lot of the liberal national belief, but he knows he has to play along with it if he is to have a chance in national politics.
I did a write in for a guy named Evan Mcmullen. Sucks that people who hate both candidates feel they have to vote for one or the other.... I personally wish the Libertarian party could get some traction going.So you want me to entertain that a large part of this country doesn’t care about education?
That’s a cool talking point for politicians, but it’s not true.
The following things are also not true:
Dems hate the military.
Republicans hate gays, minorities, etc...
A LOT of people who voted for Trump aren’t even fans of his, they just can’t stand Hillary. The Dems would have been better off running a soup can in that election.
I wrote in my vote (for the 2nd time) for George HW Bush in the last election.
I also did in the 2012 election.
I can’t anymore unfortunately, so I will have to figure someone else out unless there is an actual candidate in 2020 who isn’t a spazz.
If you can link something that he has done to change the party's status quo I'd appreciate it I can't seem to find anything
Obviously not accurate to suggest that all Dems hate capitalism, but it is fair to say there is a significant movement within the Dem Party that is critical of a capilitistic system that produces winners and losers, and they are increasingly vocal about income equality and redistribution of the wealth to remedy this. Suggestions that being a billionaire and a system that enables one to become a billionaire are both immoral, as recently uttered by the Dems new darling seem pretty anti capitalism, and so the Question Bodi poses is not without basis. The hatred for Trump and the view that he is increasingly disliked by moderates and independents, and therefor very vulnerable in the 2020 election, has emboldened the liberal left within the Dem Party, and I personally think they run the risk of nominating a liberal left candidate that will wilt in the general election. Bill Clinton’s “the era of big government is over” proved to be wishful thinking on my part.
InterestingYou won’t find anything over the past 3-4 years since the Dems started grooming him to be the next DNC Chair. Ironically he pulled out of that race saying the old liberal party needed to change.
In his early years of politics he pushed what he called “strong midwestern” beliefs of strong economy, strong military (he is in the Navy), taxpayers money being spent to benefit their community first.
The libertarian party will never be relevant until it stops being the liberaltarian party based on Gary Bake The Cake Johnson and his vp pick and his history with the ClintonsI did a write in for a guy named Evan Mcmullen. Sucks that people who hate both candidates feel they have to vote for one or the other.... I personally wish the Libertarian party could get some traction going.
Why do you Dems hate Capitalism?
Interesting
What's his position towards private businesses reserving their right to refuse service
Some would say it started when a socialist that was denied citizenship to the Union of Soviet Socialist Republics named oswald assassinated the first and only Catholic President and the bleeding of the red sympathizers began demonizing moderate leftists and defeating them in elections. I somewhat agree with this but I also can't ignore what President Ronald Reagan said in "The Speech"
"The cold war will end through our acceptance of a not undemocratic socialism." Another voice says, "The profit motive has become outmoded. It must be replaced by the incentives of the welfare state." Or, "Our traditional system of individual freedom is incapable of solving the complex problems of the 20th century." Senator Fulbright has said at Stanford University that the Constitution is outmoded. He referred to the President as "our moral teacher and our leader," and he says he is "hobbled in his task by the restrictions of power imposed on him by this antiquated document." He must "be freed," so that he "can do for us" what he knows "is best." And Senator Clark of Pennsylvania, another articulate spokesman, defines liberalism as "meeting the material needs of the masses through the full power of centralized government."
"Well, I, for one, resent it when a representative of the people refers to you and me, the free men and women of this country, as "the masses." This is a term we haven't applied to ourselves in America. But beyond that, "the full power of centralized government" -- this was the very thing the Founding Fathers sought to minimize. They knew that governments don't control things. A government can't control the economy without controlling people. And they know when a government sets out to do that, it must use force and coercion to achieve its purpose. They also knew, those Founding Fathers, that outside of its legitimate functions, government does nothing as well or as economically as the private sector of the economy."
Also
"Last February 19th at the University of Minnesota, Norman Thomas, six-times candidate for President on the Socialist Party ticket, said, "If Barry Goldwater became President, he would stop the advance of socialism in the United States." I think that's exactly what he will do."
"But as a former Democrat, I can tell you Norman Thomas isn't the only man who has drawn this parallel to socialism with the present administration, because back in 1936, Mr. Democrat himself, Al Smith, the great American, came before the American people and charged that the leadership of his Party was taking the Party of Jefferson, Jackson, and Cleveland down the road under the banners of Marx, Lenin, and Stalin. And he walked away from his Party, and he never returned til the day he died -- because to this day, the leadership of that Party has been taking that Party, that honorable Party, down the road in the image of the labor Socialist Party of England."
It beyond belief, but trump supporters don’t believe in education.
Echo being a Dem makes soooo much sense … collects checks from god knows who while he spends all day on the internet ..... LOL!
Well, I don’t dispute that the powerful and wealthy have more influence in our system than the average person; and no denying our tax code is loaded with exemptions for special interests. But That doesn’t make it immoral to be rich or to be phenomenally successful like Howard Shultz, the target of this anti capitalism venom I referenced. I totally disagree with your characterization that we have capitalism for the peons and socialism for the top 10%, an argument supported by your summation of tax laws benefiting the wealthy. Special interests and wealthy influence notwithstanding, This top 10% that you reference still pays 70% of the total of all income tax paid annually. The top 1% pays more than the bottom 90% combined. The bottom 50% pays less than 3% of all income tax paid annually. It’s the traditional view of Dems that the top 10% should be paying more than 70% of all income tax paid. While I disagree, it’s at least a debatable public policy position. However, Suggesting that our capitalistic system that enables one to become a billionaire is immoral is extreme and class divisive, and plays to base emotions of envy and resentment, which I find repugnant."Suggestions that being a billionaire and a system that enables one to become a billionaire are both immoral, as recently uttered by the Dems new darling seem pretty anti capitalism,"
I believe the Dem view is much more along the line that under our form of alleged capitalism is the fact that the dice are loaded for the rich and powerful,starting with our Tax Laws,written by,and for, those with money and power. We have ,in fact, Capitalism for the peons and Socialism for the top 10 percent. They can make mega profits on investments and pay less tax than a plumber or teacher. They get depreciation on brick and mortar places,we get an increase in tax if we take care of and repair our homes.They get subsidies for their businesses and guaranteed income for not planting crops. If their business has retirement benefits for employees and fails to pay them,we,the ordinary Joes,have to pay for them.If the mega corporations and businesses make a profit they keep it and pay less tax than you or I,if they lose money and verge on bankruptcy we foot the bill to keep them afloat and they pay their managers bonuses and use our money to buy up their own company shares. "Such a deal I have for you should see,Irving", to quote my brother in law.How about that for Capitalism run amok
As for Socialist ideas for the hoi poloi that were fought tooth and nail by Conservative governments for years-- Social Security, Workmens Compensation for on the job injuries, the Laws banning child labor,although I see a GOP chap asking they be set aside now, the right to form a Labor Union.The puplic election of Senators rather than appointmen by State Governors, Medicaid, Aid to Dependent Children the right to have a lawyer present at a hearing.There are 73,954 pages in our Tax laws carving out exemptions, favors,diversion of public funds to private business etc.etc ad infinitum. Shall I go on or is that enough for you today ?
Your statement is false. You literally have zero clue what 'most' Trump supporters think.Great job. This has nothing to do with my comment that most trump supporters think education is unnecessary.
