Some Ideas Never Die
You got to love old Bernie, he's like the little train that just won't shut the fuck up. He has been pushing that age old idea of theft. Let's take the money of those who work hard and give it to the poor. That's never worked, but somehow this time round it will. I really don't understand how he can consider the idea of voluntary exchange, which is capitalism as some prehistoric system that's needs to be abolished? If you think capitalism is a dirty word, that's because you are confusing it with state capitalism, which should actually be called state socialism.
"When people are desperate or wealthy, they turn to socialism; only when they have no other alternative do they embrace the free market. After all, lies about guaranteed security are far more seductive than lectures about personal responsibility." - Ben Shapiro
You're either laughing or you're learning.
"Socialism proposes no adequate substitute for the motive of enlightened selfishness that today is at the basis of all human labor and effort, enterprise and new activity." - William Howard Taft
