The reason why socialism is gaining popularity is that capitalism is not working well enough for enough people.

Capitalism doesn't work for the following
1) Mentally deficient
2) Physically handicapped (and not capable of white collar work)
3) Lazy
4) Socially dysfunctional.
It's liberating for everyone else.
Here's the answer.

The truth is that increased taxes on the wealthy and more protections and benefits like health care and education are relatively cheap when compared to prisons and the increased social and financial costs of poverty and anger.
but that's the problem. You and your kind think there's this untapped resource of greedy billionaires. There's countless studies showing that putting the screws to these people does nothing to address the costs incurred from the fairy tale programs you losers want.

We the people must FIX capitalism. The corrupt cronyism that encompasses DC and other cities is destroying us. STOP CORRUPTION!! I think that independent investigators and CPA’s should publicly audit every member of elected office. If u don’t want your info exposed don’t run. A public accounting of every single dollar on elected officials is a must.

No, the reason why socialism is gaining popularity is because people like Bernie Sanders have made unrealistic promises of free shite without any explanation of how said free shite gets paid for; and because financial and economic education has not been prioritized by the last 2 generations, people believe that there's a way to make socialism work.
You can keep your doctor. No really. Just given in and give up.

If it’s not working well enough for you then you have only yourself to blame. Figure out what you need to do to be more successful and get to work. Too many people don’t want to put in the work that success requires. Handouts do not lead to successful outcomes.

It's ill mannered to speak poorly of the ignorant. Some of whom mean well but lack reasoning power. There is a clear pattern here. This poster is always way wrong and off base. You would have to assume poster is not going to get any better @ this point.
