No, Rich, socialism is government control of the means of production. That's the definition of socialism. Again, please tell me the names of the Democrats who have said that our government should control the means of production.
Every one of them want to tax corporations to the hilt. But, corporations do not pay tax in the long run, they simply pass the cost of taxes on to the consumer.
Oh, wait - the Trump administration is bailing out the farmers they screwed with the Chinese tariffs... Isn't THAT an attempt to control the means of production? Farmers, no one will buy your crops, but keep growing them and your government will pay you for the money you lost. Socialism or a social program?
Farmers have been "bailed out" for years now. Don't plant so we can drive up the price of corn, wheat, soy beans, whatever. What the hell does a NYC guy know about farming?
"you'll reject the Social Security and Medicare benefits you currently receive?"
Yeah, right after you do. Put YOUR MONEY where YOUR MOUTH is.
SS is the smallest part of my income. Pension and 401K mandatory withdrawals are the major source of my income, sorry if you didn't plan well while you were working. |
