Case in point, I sent this to some fellow teachers yesterday when they started touting the current unemployment rate in the US...Yeah you can't argue with someone who thinks like that.
Sort your country out, please.
I was told it was “a single quote taken out of context”.
No wonder you like your bourbon.

You can see the gears turning in douchy's head after he heard that. A sick channel for some sick people.
Damn now the President thinks Japan was communist too.
I almost think they're doing it on purpose.
During the commercial break...
I seem to recall that they've done this before, am I remembering correctly?
Who, it turns out, had passed an eVerify check for the job he’s been working the past 4 years... at a farm owned by some GOP big shot.
I never knew that . They conveniently left that out.
Is there a racial angle to the crime (like, as a reason for the murder rather than the status of the perpetrator)?

No, that is not the one.
Its because they aren't organized and can't seem to decide how much socialism they want. You have some who want to tax the upper 1 percent 80% or more and you have other who advocate a more progressive tax scheme (like Sanders for instance).
Just continuing the clusterfeck of a "report" by Trish something where she also harped on about socialism in Denmark and claimed that Danes don't finish education and noone wants to work. Despite the fact that Denmark has a lower unemployment rate than the US and a better educated population as well.
Yeah, the social reform debate in the US is poisoned by the tools that want unrealistic tax levels and straight up confiscating entrepeneurs wealth and redistribute it. That is the thing with the US, it always tenders towards the extreme in either direction.
Oh and they don't have a viable political party either. Their only shot is integrating with the Dems to push their agenda to the left, but that would of course mean they would need to moderate their views in order to gain broader acceptance within the party. Proposals like tax 100% of anyone how makes more than x amount will be immediately laughed off and anyone who proposes such a thing will never be taken seriously again. On the other hand, going with the Sanders plan would be far more feasible since he pays for his programs with things like taxing offshore income, wall street speculation tax, closing the carried interest loophole, closing estate tax loophole, ending subsidies for fossil fuel companies etc
Which would be true. Socialism is a vile and inhumane concept that has never worked anywhere and will never work. Just like any other form of collectivism.
I think you are confusing the term "rich" with "capitalist" here.
This guy used Norway as an example when distinguishing between the socialisms
Yeah, it is sort of the legit version of China, with stuff like human rights and free speech. Capitalist indeed, but with a strong state presence.
He says 60% of the economy is in some way state run, which of course means its still fairly balanced between capitalism and some form of socialism. The number in the US must be tiny.
Yeah I find it strange how it is structured in the US. Sure if you invent something like Windows or create something like Apple it is all yours, and the state got feck all to do with it. But if your business is value creation from the actual natural resources of the country it is strange to me how full private and even foreign control of it can be allowed.
Not if the government has anything to say about it. We've been privatizing for years, and some only want to take it further. The problem with privatization is that it's nearly impossible to reverse. So when one government let's the cat out of the bag, the next one can't very well just stuff it back in there.
Statoil (Equinor) and Hydro before they merged into Equinor had to reduce some of their state ownership, control still remains with the state though. Also our most important industry which is the oil and gas will always remain under stringent control by the state due to the taxation scheme which is unique. Likewise we have the worlds second largest fund taking ownership in other important companies such as Kongsberg Gruppen, DNB, Yara etc.
Bit of a late reply but that's great.
Wrong, just plain wrong.
I'm guessing he means communism, not the social-democracy that's practiced in Europe.
