Kennedy: ‘When the Berlin Wall Fell, Who Ran to Which Side? Socialism Is for Morons’

The great debate between the USA vs. USSR on their home stage about 1980 was great. Each team had one question that slaughtered the other side who had no answer.
US win: 'If communism is so great why do you build walls to keep people in?'
USSR win: 'If capitalism rewards work then why do you pay people not to work? (welfare)"

That's why it's so important to push back towards free market capitalism and remove government influence from all levels of the market.

Otherwise you end up just adding more government to fix the problems, it fails, and then you need MORE government to fix the problems, and you're in the socialist doom loop.

The intervention people who value freedom should always be more scared of is the intervention/regulation promised to be temporary to achieve the purported goal. Like socialist titties, that will enslave yo arse.

A “pure” capitalist market sounds elegant in theory, but in practice it produces the same outcomes every time. Without regulation, companies prioritize profit over safety, environmental responsibility, and public health because the system rewards cutting costs, not safeguarding the public.

No company is going to voluntarily invest in wastewater treatment, worker protections, or safety engineering when the cheaper alternative is cutting corners.

Because you Dems have created a generation of participation trophy ppl

A colossal failure? Really? You are incredibly ignorant thinking our economy over the life of our country is a failure. But of course being a democrat who wants a government that will provide you with everything you need is typical. But the problem is, who pays for it? In a socialist economy, you would be on the bottom tier of the socialist class system. Why do people all over the world want to come to this country? Because they see an opportunity to make something of themselves verses the gimme attitude of some people that want everything provided to them. You have the freedom to become prosperous and live a life that so many people of other countries could not achieve. A colossal failure. What a ridiculous statement on your part.

Free market capitalism with workers organization rights as well. We should all be able to benefit from a strong capitalist system.

All you mean is that capitalism is best when government merely prevents the externalization of the true cost of production. Externalization is not a necessary component of a strong capitalist system.

and you are literally incapable of considering that millions of Americans who are fed up with the corruption in front of their faces. Your emotions force you to believe that they are just lazy and don’t want to work. Bless your heart.

She knows if you aint first then your last and the participation trophies are for karens like yourself

How would you raising liberal weak children and teaching them that participation trophies are good be my fault?
