And just so you know, the rich do get richer . But the beauty is the poor get richer TOO. See that’s capitalism. A state college guy like myself can make 30,000 grand one decade and the next make that every month. See, that’s how it works. We have upward mobility. We MOVE dynamically through The socioeconomic strata .It’s a beautiful thing and it is a virtuous thing.
You can still do that and have more Health Care and better education. I'm not a freakin communist over here. I have three businesses of my own.

I'm not asking everyone to vote for the Patriot Act here, in fact, if I had my way critical thinking would have such an emphasis that people probably would have never given up their freedoms for the Patriot Act.

are you making fun of landscaping businesses? Seems really elitist of you. I guess no one ever force you to go out and do manual labor when you were a kid or else you would know that right now is a perfect time to mow grass because it's been raining a bunch and it's still not under 60 degrees.

Oh. I couldnt tell. I thought you didn't know anything about mowing lawns or weather patterns and I was totally trying to help you out so you wouldn't embarrass yourself in front of a bunch of landscapers. Now I realize that you're just hilarious with great subtle humor. I just reread it and I'm laughing super hard now. Great job. You should be a comedian.

Well, reasonable in a "everyone that eats carrots will die!" kinda way.

The socio-economic Divide gets larger and the top 1% gets richer. You trying to say that no one takes me seriously is just you avoiding this fact that you know to be true.
1/ where the top 1% gets "poorer" under democrat administrations
2/ Why the wealth of the top 1% has any effect on anyone else's wealth.
Good luck. You're gonna need it.

There's as much causality established in the above as the thread's OP.

You are a deluded man drowning in self regard who does not know what he does not know. The State is a false God . Because the evidence is in, and it is overwhelmingly depressing, only a Fundamentalist believes in State solutions. Obey your Orthodoxy. The rest of us though, are just going to continue to point at you and laugh.

Well I'm not laughing at you. I'm actually just really disappointed at what a waste your intellect is. you totally didn't address anything that I wrote and went straight to pointing your finger and name-calling because you are a prisoner of your pride. You refuse to address any nuance and are trying to make it sound so much more extreme. I pity you, bro

We would still be a capitalist Society. I don't understand what you guys don't get about that. I also don't understand why you guys are so dead set against education and health care for everyone. You get butthurt about the wrong things

We literally already have that in this country. Congrats.
You can go to elementary and high school for free. Not everyone can or should go to college. That is a stupid concept that makes no sense. The federal government needs to get completely out of higher education. The world needs construction workers, plumbers, electricians, hvac techs, etc. And those people do not need to go to college for free for no reason other than for you to feel good about yourself. If you want to go to college then you pay for it yourself. If that's too hard then you don't deserve to go anyway.
quote:
health care for everyone
Explain why you think this doesn't already exist and why you think the federal government running a completely non-competetive and tax funded limitless insurance program that caters to the poor and unhealthy at the expense of the healthy and middle class is a better idea than the private market.

I agree with most of your posts. Nothing you or I said can remotely be considered socialist.
We already pay for a public education system. What's wrong with ensuring all children have a quality education. That actually ties in with REAL conservative principles, since it develops you to be independent.
Only reasons I can assume
1) People on hear honestly believe the market is like 40 years ago before jobs started demanding degrees and higher requirements. Or they live in glass houses since they are successful, have social circles of other upper class people and pay for private schools.
2)Worse case, they know better but honestly dont care. As long as the "undesirables" and poor stay in their place and dont bother them.
I've seen all across the spectrum. Working with pours and well off people. Things are never like the other side sees.
As for healthcare. The US is the one of the only places where you have to be rich enough to afford decent healthcare.

Why wouldn't the medical industry cater more to the unhealthy? Come on man you really have to look at that and kind of laugh right? That's a pretty obtuse statement you made.

I really enjoyed College. I learned a lot. It really does benefit a person to have to go through critical thinking exercises and learn more about the world that they live in, whether or not they end up being plumbers.
