@marwilliamson It's just another "if u don't agree with me, then ur racist" speech.
Those who think our immigration policies have been too liberal & too many unvetted & free money given away, DO NOT THINK America belongs only to those w/the right accent & shade of skin. That's BS & a huge lie.
@JamesTate121 The number #1 job of Fed Gov is to protect us....that's the military.
The free benefits r not socialist, but rather benefits for doing a very important job serving their country with a small paycheck...most especially if they are injured.
@Heccles94 Many people hate working 4 someone else, so they find a way to work 4 themselves; start their own business.
Others don't want headache of working 4 themselves so they work 4 someone else 2 get a paycheck.
Someone who starts a business does create jobs; how could u say otherwise?
@Heccles94 If you want to fix the USA....socialism is not the answer....likely a disaster.
Capitalism is a good system....issue is corruption has infiltrated. Exact same corruption can infiltrate Socialism. Socialism will likely deliver less for all, not more.
@LeftyWinter Careful how u want to change the world. Leave go of a diet of propaganda & conformational bias info and look for a more whole picture devoid of those that want to control how u think.
@waltermasterson Socialism sounds promising for those that have little.
But then down the line, who controls who gets what and how much? The government?
Is it reliance on government instead of self enabling? That sounds bad.
Corruption can envelope Socialism just has it has Capitalism.
@PramilaJayapal Someone has 2 earn money & create wealth 4 it to b shared. If u take away incentive, if everyone gets the same, what's the sense of working harder 2 give it away.
Socialism touted as a good life 4 all. Possibly it will drag middle class people down a level in "the good life".
@eeveeithink Well that's what being sold. If it worked of course everyone would be all in.
It may be that it drags everyone down eventually. The money needs to come from somewhere; it doesn't grow on trees.
Capitalism is the American Dream.Problem is it's corrupt. Socialism gets corrupt too
@marwilliamson (2 of 2).....no one wanted it done it seems. Too much political corruption. Too much one party bashing the other no matter what the topic in the pursuit of power. That's part of the whole picture Marianne and it's also shameful.
@marwilliamson IKD what the truth is these days...but I do know that is what is spewed as truth is often full of hyperbole, exaggeration, propaganda & spin to the point of deliberate lies.
There was likely a better way to deal w/ the fraud, waste & false statistics of USAID but.... (1 of 2)
@BenjaminDictor Wow....are you serious with this one way thinking? Kinda ignorant and short sighted I would say.
Must be your just throwing out engagement bait.
@BenjaminDictor This kind of post attacking groups of people is destroying America & just plain wrong.
What about the guy who didn't eat out or go to movies & saved every penny earned 2 buy a property as a source of income & dealt w/leaky pipes & heat issues with costs not covered by rent ?
@LeftyWinter Money needs to come from somewhere to buy free stuff.
A commune may work well for Socialism, but a huge country not so much.
Gov needs to be small as possible while enabling people to be self sufficient....then get out of the way.
#1 role of gov is to protect us.
@RedWavePress In this instance, she has a point.
Congress should have stopped corporations from growing too big long ago. Along the way Congress stopped anti-trust efforts.
Companies have too much power....part of the problem is the huge influence their money buys from congress.
@DemzDeliver Nothing is free.
Question is....is this worth the tax dollars? Are kids getting healthier meals?
Are some no longer going hungry? Yes, those neighborhoods like Bronx, NY have been getting free lunch for a LONG time...nothing new here.
@WTo183790@adammocklerr Kids eat junk food w/these free meals.
Challenge bc kids tend 2 like waffles w/ syrup, hot dogs, muffins.
In schools that do provide healthy food, lunch is often in the garbage.
Schools not helping solve problem except perhaps the Bronx, etc where kids really need any food.
