Sure, provided you want to plunge us all back to 19th century social ideaologies.

Or you could plunge us into another civil war with all this mandatory gun buyback nonsense and we'll be back in the 19th century anyway.  Pick your poison.

Also both capitalism and communism predate the 19th century so...

As much as I support gender/race/etc equality in principle I'm done with it in politics given how many of these left leaning demographics seem to vote more with their touchy feely emotions and unrealistic ideals of saving everyone using other people's paychecks rather than following the founding principles of this nation, eg, individual liberty and property rights, no government monopoly on deadly force, and limited government power. Anyone who just votes for free stuff or to take away other people's stuff can fuck off and die for all I care.

Really though how many Mercedes with 22" chrome spinners and iphones does a poor immigrant need anyway?  Is this what we mean by "you cant live on minimum wage"?  

I'm quite sick of having to pay my own way because I'm a white male and have pride in earning things myself while all the "poor immigrants" are rolling up to DES in their pimp my ride Escalades picking up their free checks.

1. No canddiate is pressing for a mandataory gun buy back.

2. Your paycheck supports much more corporate subsidies than private individuals.  If that doesn't piss you off, nothing will.

3. This nation was founded on Libertarian principles.  The right wing would rather cut the wings off the eagle than go back to those ideas.  I'm actually a Libertarian by ideology.

4. Your taxes pay for more free stuff to corporations than all welfare recipients by a considerable margin.  You could easily provide for all the existing and major proposed socialist programs by simply redirecting current taxes.

5. Immigrants with Mercedes and 22" rims are as much hyperbole as they are nonexistant.  I know you do not honestly believe that even a minor margin of immigrants or welfare recipients are driving a Mercedes or Escalades.  I'm unsure why you would suggest as much.

6. Go to your local welfare office and see you goes in.  If even 5% roll up in Escalades, Beamers and Mercs, I'll personally send you my next check to cover your tax losses....every week.  And don't forget that only a small percentage of your taxes actually go to welfare programs.    Approximately 10% goes toward the safety net programs.  70% is Medicaid, Medicare, Social Security and the military.

 

I ask that if you truly believe what you wrote that you do some research.   Ignore both sides fo the aisle.  Ignore the R's and D's.  Don't even take my own word for it.  Look up the true facts for yourself.  The answers will likely surprise you and piss you off.   I know it did me (a former R).

Thank you for countering baseless, political rhetoric with facts.
