@lennco Are you good with giving up 70% of all your domain name sales money??

that shit can kiss my whole entire ass, I pay 36% taxes right now and stay pissed off about it..... get a fucking job.... go to college... work hard and prosper ....

 

[lennco]

A great Ponzi scheme for what's after the 5-6 years.
I was going by the raw definition of Socialism, which is centered around the ownership of the means of production.
But as you say, yes, Socialism is about taxes forced on you, so others would could enjoy a free ride. Just what the Democrats are all about.

Yes Social Security is a Democratic program, but it is a program that Republican Americans along with Democratic Americans depend on.

The only ones who are willing to cut it or get rid of it are the ones who can afford to live without it.

And at 36% taxes is that enough to pay the Countries bills? Especially now since we will add another $7 - $8 Trillion under Trump?

As long as They continue to cut taxes on the rich we the little people have to pick up the tab.
Your Taxes use to be a lot higher back in the 1950s and 1960s people still prospered, the country grew and bills were paid.

I may be cynical, but I think China found out there are no more money left in their Social Security program around September-October last year.

Sooner or later China will find out that you cant live on worthless money.

What do you think of the so called imperative of constant growth for capitalism to exist, is it true, and if yes, what do you see as alternatives?

So glad that Democrats are the Bees

I am far far away from being even close to the top 1% , I can retire today if I wanted... without ever receiving a social security check.... I am not or have never been a “Privileged” White man ... I started working on a milk farm at age 8 to earn money to help my single mother and buy myself a bicycle .... I had to walk 4 miles to that farm and 4 miles back home daily... once I earned enough to buy a bicycle I was riding that trip. My mother worked 2 jobs most all of my life to support my sister and me... my sister worked at sizzler steak house from age 14 ..... today,,, there is great opportunity for all ... all races... all religions.... all genders including queers ... chicks with dicks ... tons of opportunity in America today .

but there won’t be if Biden / Harris win this election ..... once the new government reform is established and the US is a Socialist - Communist gov ... there is no American dream to attain ... federal housing and 70% tax rates so fuckers who don’t want to work and contribute can get their monthly checks .

@lennco,

I’m a 27 year old; and i think Social Securify is big Ponzi scheme that will run out by my time.

“Socialism” is nicer, than “Ponzi Scheme” no?

Bye Eric: A Total Phony

I like Eric Trump better than Donald Trump Jr

@lennco ..... under Socialism ... the more you work ... the more money you make gets you penalized ..... so Socialism is welfare on steroids.

if you sell a domain name for $20,000 , in a socialist system you can not write off expenses ... they don’t care how much of your time spent acquiring the name.. how much you paid for the name ... No nothing... they want their 70% or else

Your 100% correct. ... further to say ... the only person you can completely depend is yourself.... you are a very mature 27 years old and probably on your way to earning your retirement

What do you think of the so called imperative of constant growth for capitalism to exist, is it true, and if yes, what do you see as alternatives?

I think it depends on the level of growth. Every economy contracts for numerous reasons. No other economic system has lifted more people out of poverty; so what else is there?

Communism, socialism seem to devolve into different types of collective dictatorships.

I have a friend that lives in France .... she is a licensed Pharmacist... went to college ... the whole 9 yards... she moved to the US and lived here some 10 years... she moved back to France only to take care of her elderly mother...... she hates it!!!!!!! Hates it with passion..... she doesn’t make piss in France as a pharmacist..... she gives all her money away to support people with 5 children .... her words... not mine

Yes, I think if and when the need arises to stop growth, or to contract, for staying in balance with the planet, only Capitalism can to do it in a manageable way. The response of Socialism to stop growth is about what .X. posted above: bring more in.

You cant have constant growth. There never has been and there never will be.
Capitalism will survive and always exist here in America with or without constant growth.

You Must have corrections and pullbacks and sometimes even a stalled economy.
They are actually healthy at times. Things cant go straight up forever.

The only way to have so called constant growth is to manufacture it by propping it up like China does and that sooner or later will crash and burn and when it does it will be catastrophic.

Natural growth of capitalism is healthy. Propped up growth of capitalism is a disaster always waiting to happen. ie: 1929 stock market, 2000 .Com Bubble, 2009 Housing Bubble.

And while we are talking capitalism,
There is good capitalism and bad capitalism.
Big Pharma = Bad capitalism
Coca Cola = Good capitalism

Big Pharma raised my wife's insulin form $35 to over $500 in under 15 years.
Coca Cola I paid $1 for a 2 liter bottle back in 1980 and I paid $1 for a 2 liter in 2020
And yet Coca Cola still makes $ Billions in profits.

As I said many times, America works best at 3/4 Capitalism and 1/4 Socialism and always in the Lonnggg term we always go up.

I think capitalism is best suited to handle natural disasters like earthquakes, floods, droughts, etc. as long as people can keep working.

Other systems seem to collapse. China has the money to buy food from America and avoid another famine because they have switched to a hybrid of capitalism. We have the extra food to sell because of capitalism.

100% Socialism is very bad.
100% Capitalism is also bad

There must always be Checks and Balances.
