What with the semantic 'Democratic' part of this crap? These are socialist/communist full stop.

They need to own that title and be proud...shout it loud that they are Communist trying to destroy the US from within.

Be honest and just say it...would be even better if they run on that in elections.

I'm fairly certain Bernie Sanders was top in the socialist field U.S. has to offer,

so that's one thing you can thank the Hilliary Clinton emails for conspiring against.

If there any other things you can thank, I'm not certain.

I don't remember who wrote it or where to find it now, but some economist somewhere took the whole "eat the rich" mantra to it's logical end, and calculated how long it would be before we'd all be broke and poor after doing so. For example, the world's richest man (Jeff Bezos, Amazon), is worth about $170 billion, which includes the full value of the entire Amazon business. If you took that and consumed it all, it could fund the government and all social programs for a few weeks. If you do the same with all the rest of the wealthiest people/businesses in the country, you can fund government and all its social programs for not even half a year. So after "eating the rich", you've survived for 6 months, but now you're broke and all of these wealth-generating enterprises are no more, so all those jobs are gone, all the production is gone, all the distribution is gone, and we're all poorer because of it.

But marxist communist where never good at math and couldn't figure out simple equations like you just laid out

But marxist communist where never good at math and couldn't figure out simple equations like you just laid outMises wrote a not-so-well-known book called Economic Calculation in the Socialist Commonwealth, in which he lays out the problems with socialism as they relate to simple calculations of economic value. Socialism literally cannot work when you remove the ability to calculate the value of economic decisions. It's a dry read, but good.

This is also the cycle that guarantees both liberals and conservatives bright futures.

So I'm not sure how it helps to take note of it. When everyone is poor they become conservative and vis versos.

Transferring that $170 Billion ownership from Bezos to all the Amazon WORKERS would do no such thing.

:rolleyes:

:rolleyes:You do know that Amazon basically makes zero profit right? That pretty much every penny they make gets put back into the business, which is why Amazon today serves a much larger and bigger market than the Amazon of 10 years ago. You turn that over to the workers and you think they'll just put every penny they earn in dividends back into the company? No, they'd consume it. They'd eat their profits.
