Socialism works

[lone wolf]

So the chumps lose. That's what chumps are for.

Of what use are trolls?

Good old fashioned LUddite thinking. Do tell, would you rather do the excavation for a highrise by hand or with an excavator? Cause that is what you are suggesting.

No.... What I am suggesting is it's better to have a lot of people working, making an income and paying taxes than it is to have a lot of people in low wage jobs or social services and not paying taxes so people who don't give a damn can gripe about the waste of your tax dollars

The big losers are THE PEOPLE ... something political hacks and greedy corporate slugs forget about in their need to have it all.

The corporate slugs got their collective butts handed to them... That should make you smile.

As for THE PEOPLE, they didn't seem to take any concern all those years when they were evading the payment of taxes, yet were enjoying the many and various social programs, early retirement payments and freebies that they demanded from gvt.

Goes to show that the adage; 'he who calls the tune must pay the piper' rings true even in Greece

He who pays the piper calls the tune.

6 of 1 and 1/2 a dozen of the other.

Right now, the German banks and IMF are paying for the tune... The Greeks just don't like this kind of music

Why would it make me smile? I'm not you ... and I thank God for that

 

[captain morgan]

You know, sticking it to 'the corporate slugs' that somehow forced the Greek people not to pay taxes and to demand as many freebies as humanly possible

Link?

...not that I'm calling you a bullshytter or anything - just letting your bias run you in lieu of all the facts

 

[Tecumsehsbones]

Of what use are trolls?

To point out the obvious, like "chumps lose."

 

[lone wolf]

Okay, chump

 

[Tecumsehsbones]

Okay, chump

How very clever of you. Go tell mommy how special you are!

We gave up our good jobs in favor of tourism and wharehousing old people. DOn't pay sh it but apparently it is sustainable.

What source for generating money are Socialists in favour of?

 

[Walter]

What source for generating money are Socialists in favour of?

Other people.

 

[JLM]

Other people.

I hear you Walter, but rather than come right out and say it, I thought it would be more credible if someone else did.

Someone other than Walter would have been.

Labour

I hear you Walter, but rather than come right out and say it, I thought it would be more credible if someone else did.

I wouldn't be so hard on your credibility, JLM. Didn't you once tell me you used to be a socialist? Presumably you'd then be able to answer any question on what socialists believe. Even your own.

Since then a few lights have come on. Socialism would work if everyone got into gear but I've long since figured you'd have to be naïve to think that is going to happen.

Don't sell old Walter short, sometimes he has an answer!

 

[Ludlow]

I dunno if this works or that works or what ever just please spell the words color and favor right geez.

 

[lone wolf]

Socialism works with a healthy dose of capitalism as capitalism works with a healthy dose of socialism - as long as there is only one driver

Don't sell old Walter short, sometimes he has an answer!

...even if it IS a neg rep (which means correct)
