@SenWarren Regarding the current bipartisan housing bill: President Trump announced today that he intends not to sign it, but because Congress remains in session, the bill is expected to become law automatically after the constitutional waiting period expires

@SenatorHeinrich And the fed printing money has nothing to do with inflation. WOW how times have changed

[Steve austin @Hardheadsteve]

@ORSecretaryRead Can you tell all all of us why dead people still receive ballots and why families have a hard time stopping them from being sent out. Also people that move have still received them with the same issue. Tried to notify they
Moved and ballots still mailed. Please advise

[Steve austin @Hardheadsteve]

@EdKrassen And the countless fentanyl deaths that occurred on North American soil due to narco trafficking from Mexico?

[Steve austin @Hardheadsteve]

@JayInslee There is no hope there Jay. Consumption is killing the environment. We all live on consumption. Maybe learn how to live underground.

@weather_mannp @tarenfeist Coat of good will increase with the wage increase. It’s how free markets work. These big government socialists cause larger issues. Minimum wage jobs are supposed to be entry wage jobs.

@EricLDaugh My first code class was taught by a plans examiner who worked in the east coast. He said “ plans examiners, building officials drivers be big cars” on the east coast. They take bribes is what he was referring too. Hopefully they nail the bastards that created this issue.

@TinaKotek What about the dead people or folks that have moved and still receive ballots? Families have tried to get them to quit sending them. What gives ?

[Steve austin @Hardheadsteve]

And raise the cost of goods to follow! I am not sure what happened to free markets? You’re now a socialist. Minimum wage jobs should not be a career choice. Housing would not be as expensive, if we got rid of urban growth boundary. in Oregon the Oregon Corporate activity tax raised prices. Transit taxes, paid leave Oregon, etc have all raised taxes and cost of goods. We don’t get a good ROI on these dollars. Yet it’s raise minimum wage

[Steve austin @Hardheadsteve]

@TinaKotek Extend unemployment! No jobs no great outlook . Companies leaving?

[Steve austin @Hardheadsteve]

@ewarren Can you kids fix work together to fix social security? Keep trying , not raising benefits but fixing

Here’s a more accurate breakdown:

* Capitalism: Private individuals and businesses own most property and the means of production. People are generally free to start businesses, invest, and accumulate wealth. In practice, some become very rich while others remain poor.
* Communism (theory): A classless, stateless society in which property is owned collectively and wealth is distributed according to need. The goal is to eliminate large differences in wealth, not simply to ensure “nobody can be rich.” Historically, governments that called themselves communist often concentrated political power in the state and restricted private ownership.
* Socialism: There isn’t one universally accepted model. In general, socialism favors more collective or public ownership of major industries or stronger government involvement in the economy than capitalism. Some forms allow private businesses and people to become wealthy, while others call for much broader public ownership.

The statement in the meme

“Socialism – anybody can be rich but nobody should be poor.”

This is not the formal definition of socialism, but it does resemble how many democratic socialists or social democrats describe their goals: they generally accept that people can become wealthy while advocating policies that reduce poverty through measures such as public education, healthcare, and social safety nets. Countries like Sweden, Norway, and Denmark are examples of market economies with extensive social programs rather than purely socialist economies.

Overall assessment

* “Socialism is not communism.” — True.
* “Capitalism—anybody can be rich.” — Broadly true, though opportunities vary and not everyone has the same chance.
* “Communism—nobody can be rich.” — Oversimplified. The theory seeks to eliminate economic classes rather than simply banning wealth.
* “Socialism—anybody can be rich but nobody should be poor.” — A value statement, not a definition. It describes one political philosophy’s goal more than socialism as a whole.

So I’d rate the meme as about 6/10 for accuracy. It correctly distinguishes socialism from communism, but it simplifies all three systems enough that it leaves out important differences and variations.

@AlexTaylorNews @RepLisaMcClain But case alert!

[Steve austin @Hardheadsteve]

@TinaKotek Like raising taxes and increasing fees. I like how your office blames others for the cost of living increases. Maybe also looking in the mirror. Maybe look at ORCAT, or even a little fiscal conservation on the state level. Bring real results, bring businesses back to Oregon

[Steve austin @Hardheadsteve]

@GUYERDIGITAL There will never be world peace. There will never be peace in families, let alone countries. It’s a drug induced wish

[Steve austin @Hardheadsteve]

@SenJeffMerkley You should talk to Oregon government and ask why they keep raising taxes and fees? Why they are not fiscally conservative? Oregon is facing significant headwinds in job growth and retention

[Steve austin @Hardheadsteve]

And prices will rise in response to the increase in wages. It may not happen the same day, but it will happen.

For restaurants and bars, a typical response is:

* Menu prices increase 2–5% over several months.
* Beer and cocktail prices may rise $0.25–$0.50 per drink.
* Burgers and entrees often increase $0.50–$1.50, depending on labor intensity.
* Some businesses reduce staffing or hours instead of raising prices immediately.
Just stating facts .
This will also affect grocery and gas prices etc across the region

@KATUNews In another 10 years when Portland is in ruins from all the taxes and fees, it will sit Detroit style while all the progressive’s leave the state. It’s then that Portland can be rebuilt.
