Just no. Less free money will convince people to do something with their life. Not to mention...if these programs are being cut, why are more people sucking money out of them now than ever.

That is why socialism never succeeds in becoming the bigger country.

People that think like you amazes me. We buy one plane for 1 billion dollars(B-2 bombers) almost every year and it cost millions to maintain the fleet.

Military industry and other corporations get obscene corporate welfare and you are worried that people might benefice from our money instead of oligarchs.

Corporate welfare is around $100 billion and Social is not even close to that. The money people get for social welfare is very insignificant. In the most expensive areas it doesn't reach $400.

But yet, Exxon gets $4 billion for R&D after it was very profitable with all the gas price hikes.


And some people with your way of thinking amazes me.. I mean seriously.. people like you think it's okay for me to work 12-20 hours a day.. come home and barily keep a roof over my head sometimes.. 1and yet you think it's okay my next door neighbor of old for instance did not work a day in his life.. and has Big screen TV's and a freaking Lincoln.. off of my.. and your tax money... when I am lucky driving a beat up old Ram..why?? because that is what it takes.. just for me to make it..

 

2And you are of the same crop  that when say a Libertarian says he wants to cut taxes for everyone the only thing you think of is corporations when they actually do mean everyone.. (Including you and me..)

 

Your type also sees a cap on corporations and their profits is a good thing.. while saying the Government has the right to spend and make as much profit as they want... (Which equals government having more power over us.. and you pretending like this is a good thing.. or for the Love of God.. I pray your pretending because if you are really that.. *Being Nice* Silly... well I just.. let me put it this way.. what I would say to that... would get me banned period3

 

so yeah.. needless to say.. your not on the side of Knights and Angels either... so get off your little high horse...  (For the record I am not perfect.. nor am I on the side of Knights and Angels.. but I also don't go around talking and pretending to be.. I admit it.. unlike most people who think like you..)

 

1- Your neighbor didn't buy big screen TV's and Lincoln on a $300-375 budget.

2-Libertarians are bunch of wolves in a sheep skin. I don't believe one bit of their(your?) lunatic fallacies. I have my reasons. Libertarians sometimes make more sense than Republicans but they're almost the same thing.

3-You think you would hurt my feelings for saying some stupid stuff? This is where I see your level of intelligence. I mean, the usual for your group of people when you can't justify your reasoning.

I'm all for free enterprise and free market, but when that is hurting the engine that is the driving force behind it I, as a social and an empathic human being I choose people.

The corporation that you defend, after getting their tax breaks they go ship some more jobs oversees and you are one of the first to ***h at government of lack of jobs.

Social Welfare needs to be better regulated but you folks are going over the board with this insignificant issue.

1. Your right he got a lot more then that...From the Government.. aka us actually.. 

 

2. Talk about Wolves in sheeps clothing.. Huh.. you have not been paying attention to the Democrat party lately have you.. or our President at all... though I know you have  been paying attention to all the evils of the Republican party.. I mean seriously.. we have one party treating hard working people like second class citizens... because they smoke.. and apparently deserve to be treated as thus.. then you got the other side.. that basically has a thing against gays and both sides seem to hate women in their own ways.... you have Democrats getting away with Fast and Furious and Spying on people.. and getting away with it.. because it's G.W.s fault... I guess the most obvious excuse is.. hey.. if he did not introduce it.. we couldn't sit by and do nothing about it.. or  we would not have the ability to make it worse... so instead of blaming the people who have the ability to do something about it.. let's blame the old Republican President..  They also talk a good game about only raising the tax on the rich.. while they secretly (To a lot of people I guess) raise the taxes on everyone.. and force regulations etc.. that make everything more expensive as thus actually hurting the people they are most generally trying to help.. supposedly..

 

3. Ignorance that is all you have... you say you support the people and your still on the wrong side... and no I do not believe that lesser of two evils stuff.. evil is evil.. and frankly the only way we are going to change this country is by getting rid of both evils... not continuing to vote for the lesser of the two evils..

 

4. Last time I checked.. there was just as many Socialists screaming at the Government for jobs as anything... and they finally... gave up.. which is about the only reason Unemployment dropped below 8 percent.. (If you believe those numbers) .. 

 

5. Social Welfare needs in some cases to be stopped period... it is not a minor issue... it is major.. that could save us billions of dollars a year.. if done right.. Unfortunately it is not... and it's not intentionally.. as a simple way to buy votes... 

 

6 I don't support corporations... I support the people who work for them too... but I also will not support the Government to get bigger and having more power either. getting rid of one evil.. just to replace it with another is not the answer.. nor is using an evil to control another evil.. and believe me.. Big Government is as evil.. if not more so then big corporations.. either way the little guy.. that Engine you care (supposedly) so much about.. the people.. are going to get screwed in the end... so there has to be another solution... 

 

Anyway.. I am done... I guess I have had my rant.. you can agree or not.. as you will.. Goodnight everybody.. 



Nintendo Wii by generations...

1. Wii

2. Wii U

3. Wii O U

Predictions made by gamers concerning the current Nintendo line up of games.

Pikmen 3= Little Bump to nothing. (Got Little Bump)

Wind Waker HD= Won't sell anything (The explosion happened here and at one time 4 Wii U games was in the Amazon top 100)

Super Mario 3D World= Won't help at all looks cheap. (Currently the most sought after Wii U game and continuing the Wii U increase.)

Socialism should never exist in the first place, so i hope so



ITT: People don't know what Socialism is.



I respect your opinion fellow Vgcharter, but you didn't say jack ishh. You can't even find reasonable points to defend GW and the crazy loons of GOP and Tea Party.

I'm not a Democrat, them and GOP serve one master. But at least Dems look out for the masses better. They're not the ones trying to defund public education and other essential societal development programs to feed the military industry.

Let's get rid of cops and firemen for a day in old US of A. Oh and throw military into the mix for a better flavor.

Most americans dont know what real socialism is... they believe anything their politicians say about it wich is pretty apparent by reading some of the replies in this topic...



If it isn't turnbased it isn't worth playing   (mostly)

And shepherds we shall be,

For Thee, my Lord, for Thee. Power hath descended forth from Thy hand, That our feet may swiftly carry out Thy command. So we shall flow a river forth to Thee And teeming with souls shall it ever be. In Nomine Patris, et Filii, et Spiritūs Sancti. -----The Boondock Saints
