calfoxwc Posted October 7, 2013 Report Share Posted October 7, 2013 Social dependency on gov, socialism-->communism, is never sustainable. This is what some of us have been saying. I think it was Margaret Thatcher who said that socialism is a great thing until the money runs out. Which, it always does. Read this, and tell me it can't happen here, when we are going down the same road, with the same kind of corrupt socialist type in our WH. Socialist utopia sounds good to a lot of folks, but ...it....cannot....work...forever by itself. It is not sustainable. As in, ends in hyperinflation, civil strife, economic disaster. Crime skyrockets. http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/worldnews/southamerica/venezuela/10359267/As-socialist-dream-crumbles-Venezuelans-find-Nicolas-Maduro-a-bad-copy-of-Chavez.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
koalabazooka Posted October 7, 2013 Report Share Posted October 7, 2013 The US is the only country in which health expenses are the sole responsibility of the private sector (individuals and houses of employment). In every other country on the planet, the government pays for all critical health services and most or all secondary services (dentistry, cosmetic surgery, etc). By this vital metric, the US is the most laissez-faire country in the world. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DieHardBrownsFan Posted October 7, 2013 Report Share Posted October 7, 2013 Well, the government doesn't actually pay for it. They pay for it with taxes. In Japan people do pay a small fee for health care, but it is cheap. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

calfoxwc Posted October 7, 2013 Author Report Share Posted October 7, 2013 But our gov is 16 trillion in debt, and our debt is climbing like a missile space launch. Total gov control ends up being total gov corruption. Again, even if the gov confiscated 100% of the top ten percent of well to do, it wouldn't pay for Obmaocare. At all. Utopian pipe dreams don't last long. When the money runs out, you do NOT want to be on gov health care. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

calfoxwc Posted October 8, 2013 Author Report Share Posted October 8, 2013 Reality bites, I know. But don't hate on the messengers. Take a poll, read some polls. Americans are worried. And me leaving doesn't change anything. But right now, we have your pres in our WH, who is closing the WWII memorial to our vets, but giving the green light to the dems immigration rally on the same closed grounds? And taking down the Amber Alert website down, because of the shutdown the dems ordered up all this time? But Moochelle Obaamao's website is still up? Seriously? This president and his leftwing ilk are dangerous to our freedom. That is the truth. Meanwhile, Obamao's ATF is trying frantically and desperately to stop a tell all book by an AFT whistleblower over "Fast and Furious".... Why? Because it would put them, Holder and Obamao in a very, very bad light. Oh, and the cover up on Benghazi? Obamao and his injustice dept are threatening witnesses who may testify before Congress. And the national power grab "Obamaodoesn'tcare"...? Is a disaster. You don't like my seeing what a lot of us are seeing, make you own choice about leaving this country. It's ours, it's our Constitution, it's our freedom, and the left will never take it away. So there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Since you don't appear to know about the McVeigh story, let me refresh you: he was a radical libertarian who joined a violent anti-government group. The point I was trying to make is that you seem to have a fatalistic view of the US government, like McVeigh. You seem certain that the President is going to initiate the 2nd Cultural Revolution, making the Civil War look like a minor skirmish. If you genuinely believe this to be inevitable, you, your family and like-minded people should flee the country to escape the bloodshed. This wouldn't be cowardly by any stretch.

And of course i know the McVeigh story. I'm not a radical libertarian, nor would I ever join a group like that. And no, I'm not certain the pres is going to, I'm concerned that that is the direction he seems to be going in. And yes, OBAMAO SAID HE WAS GOING TO TRANSFORM AMERICA. Given that he admits in his book that he gravitated to socialist professors, and his own career started in Bill Ayers' home. Ayers, in case you missed it, was the terrorist who, along with Bernadine Dorn, bombed some police stations, and ayers lamented that he couldn't do it more than he did. Ayer's father helped finance Obamao's first political campaign. And Obamao has contradicted himself at every turn. I call people who contradict themselves hypocrites. And, he admitted that he had a dim view of our Constitution. And he said energy prices must necessarily skyrocket. And he openly launches antagonistic racial sides of issues. He race baits, and everybody knows he is big on class warfare rhetoric. it goes on and on. And a lot of Americans are concerned what what he is SAYING and DOING. Millions and millions of Americans should leave? Nah. Our America is the greatest nation on earth, and we are still a free country. The only way that changes is if Obamao goes off the deep end, and thinks he is a cross between Stalin and Mao. I would never really be worried that he would do that...until they take all of our guns away. Then, most of America would be terrified. OTH, that will never happen. If nothing else, I am concerned about a financial crash, and you seem to not understand, because you seem to not know about the Weimar Republic. Or the depression. Besides, we jaw-flappy on this board about all this crap, and in real life, we're regular folks who have happy lives and most? have happy marriages, like myself, and tons of friends. But, that doesn't mean I won't call a marxist pig a marxist pig. So there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's as Marxist as Adam Smith. As for your main point, even if the US has another Great Depression, the country will ultimately right its ship. We have so many natural resources, skilled and unskilled labor. And you really discredit your arguments by using inflammatory terms like "Obam*o."

Westside Steve Posted October 9, 2013 Report Share Posted October 9, 2013 Actually if you take a look at any Marxist or Communist takeovers you will notice that the leaders and the power brokers don't consider themselves actual comrades and live at the same level as "the people." Communism or Marxism is something that always appeals to the common people and is merely a vehicle for attending and retaining power. The president preaches equality and taking from the rich but he and his wife and his fellow politicians live a more opulent lifestyle that most kings of third world countries. Marxism is only a tool.

So true, clinton has made over 100mill(passed that mark this year) from speeches alone, I couldn't find a more recent figure for bush jr than 2011 where he was over 15 mill a year and a half after leaving office. Thats about 10mil a year for both just for speeches and not including any book deals, gov't paycheck, gov't health care, and secret service protection.
