This is a true statement for every system of every government. How is the water where you live? is it free? and is the cleanest and most beneficial water afforded to everyone without cost?

Pretty sure that he was asking about healthcare, but now you’ve made me curious as to how water’s ‘most beneficial’ component is measured.

And, your water comes to you without cost?

Who benefits from the stock market?

Whose is enjoying this economy? Farmers?

Does your leader inspire you? Does he have integrity? How does he deal with opponents? Contrast that with Obama?

How is your healthcare system? Great technology but not everyone can afford to enjoy the benefits.

If "socialism" is so bad why have the happiest Nordic country adopted those policies.

The US has infrastructure needs. How will you pay for that considering your growing debt.?


All Nordic countries have capitalist economies. Or do you mean "socialism" in the Fox News sense of the term?

Some people thought it was in a state of decline, which is why they voted to make America great again, ensuring the decline would continue.
God belief is for people who don't want to live life on the universe's terms.

Hmm...good question...I am going to defer my answer to Mayor Karen Weaver.

Nope, and never said it did...but, there is free water available in this world...should we compare water quality and price? or should we focus on the poster's claim about "Great technology but not everyone can afford to enjoy the benefits." ?

Good. I see that you have concluded that your analogy was terribly flawed. It just took a bit of a prompt for you to get to admit it. ; )

No need. You're floundering enough already, and you have no point. I think that I'll just watch you either run out of oxygen, or flop back into the swamp.

When people do this to their bodies, yes, America is in a state of decline. On the other hand, what an incredible likeness of Donald and Ivanka.

Yikes. It’s like a giant pimple with baby claw hands erupting from her back while it struggles to keep itself from burping up something stupid or racist.

Let’s hope that the host of this abomination didn’t blow more than one of his welfare checks on this grade-school piece of ‘shartwork’.
