Lobotomy

damnit! Well, I hosed that one but good.

eyyy the rich currently have socialism, but they aren't any complaints from here about it. uninformed

First, define "rich"

Then, define "socialism"

Use a dictionary if you must.

This should be funny.

people who own large companies get subsidies from the government to continue to let smaller businesses suffer. to sum it up, /your Taxpayer money/ goes to paying Lockheed Martin, keeping general motors alive, various airlines, and Amway.

but yeah, why bother even daring to be challenged by the topic without telling people to look up stuff in a dictionary first.

You still haven't found the definition of socialism - keep trying.

and you can't debate for a dime. keep trying

Notice how your usage of socialism is more in tune with the concept of welfare than it is with the actual definition of socialism.

Now, you can either try to perform mental gymnastics to turn the actual definition into something you can twist to your prior claims - or you can talk about my debate skills.

I'm guessing that you'll opt to insult me, because you obviously don't know what socialism is.

"Notice how your usage of socialism is more in tune with the concept of welfare than it is with the actual definition of socialism."

notice how bernie is opting to put and end to subsidizing companies. he calls himself a socialist when he's technically a capitalist. i bring bernie back up because he is in the OP, and the OP attempts to take the moral and intellectual grandstand by stating one would need a lobotomy to "believe in socialism." part of socialism is putting the peoples' interests above the companies' interests. that aspect is what bernie holds. he doesn't want to divide companies up and put them under government control.

Tell that to the health insurance industry. He was recently quoted saying under his healthcare plan private insurance would be illegal. How many other industries would he regulate into history? The guy is a moron who never worked a day in his life.

:P

"How many other industries would he regulate into history?"

slippery slope

"Tell that to the health insurance industry"

the healthcare insurance industry makes bullshit maneuvers on the american public. it's why many people go into debt trying to get cured for cancer. when the people are given a candidate who goes for the radical approach (banning private health insurance) instead of the "practical" approach (e.g. obamacare), the people want that, especially since the practical approach has never worked.

"The guy is a moron who never worked a day in his life"

many poor people aren't able to get a job for many reasons, be it poor transportation or lack of opportunities that are passed on to the elderly or more wealthy instead of the youth. if one of these people has cancer and signs up for health insurance, they're hopeless.

Obamacare took my health insurance and quadrupled my premiums and my deductible. Tell me how I should trust another Democrat (socialist) to make healthcare "better" for me? They basically took it away last time they stuck their fingers in that pie....

"Tell me how I should trust another Democrat"

bernie is not the same as obama. obama is a dnc hack who was lobbied by private insurance industries to basically make another insurance company. bernie's approach, as i said, is a radical approach compared to obama's.
