Re: A silver lining in a dark cloud of socialism

ajax, can you give me an example of this ‘equality of results’ nightmare that you are now pitching as the soon-to-be new normal in Joe Biden’s America © ? Is this, like, when everyone gets to use a paved road that was built using tax dollars? Or are there better examples of this forced equality ? W...

Re: An Electoral College Proposal

I don't favor changing the electoral college beyond getting rid of the electors. The framers set up a system intended to balance the deeply conflicting feelings we have about democracy. The divergence between the popular vote and electoral college are due to some long-term demographic trends that i ...

Re: Ajax and lockdowns

This is the perfect example of what Joe Biden means by Americans seeing each other. Ajax isn't seeing liberals. if he were, he wouldn't be so far off in his descriptions of them. What he is seeing is a caricature of liberals fed to him by Fox and Breitbart. There are extreme anarchists on the left w...

Re: And the Impotence Came Crashing In

He still has sole authority for the next couple of months to launch a full-scale nuclear attack on anywhere. If he threatens to use the launch codes, they will let him stay in the office as long as he likes. Maybe life on the outside isn't so bad for him, but if his legal downside is as grim as som...

Re: A silver lining in a dark cloud of socialism

Socialism is the removal of individual choice in how you spend or don't spend your paycheck. It's no longer equality of opportunity but equality of result. It's where incentive to work longer and harder are taken away It's a form of bondage as evidenced by things like the Berlin Wall. Freedom is no...

Re: A silver lining in a dark cloud of socialism

Equality of result is taxation? What does equality of result have to do with natural monopolies? You know what? Don't answer. I'm done herding cats for a while. Is this a new straw man? Why are you equating taxation to ‘equality of result’? Also, should I feel put upon by being forced to pay taxes ...

Re: A silver lining in a dark cloud of socialism

Provide me the name of your utility company, and I will be glad to bone up on it and give you the answer to that question. If you want me to keep that information private PM me. I wish I could share that with you but this is a very hostile environment and I've already shared too much in real life i...

I don't know Gad, what's your theory on why my utility bill went from $250/month to $750/month compared to last year?

Add AP.
