        I see you think this sh*t's a joke (America-warning, this is another video centered around America.

        Youtube Video

        These are real people. Real. Does that mean nothing to you?

          I thought socialism was the left's utopian dream?!  I guess it's a "shit joke" by the left, then.

          Of course, it's real people.  Real people that the left denies (or ignores) are suffering under their utopian dream.

            Income-wise people are moving between brackets so opportunities should be there.
            Youtube Video

            People should have have the opportunity to pursue their own dreams. But you can't ensure the success of every pursuit.
            Under free-enterprise all people live better then under socialists.

            Concerning hard work - I think it is about working on your skills and investing in other longer-term capital.
            Or if you have that habit of hard work - you will be better off than others in similar situation.
            But that is not something I know a lot about :).

              Anyway prices on medicine and services are high.
              If Trump cant do something about it I have no idea who can.

                In the UK, OTC drugs are very expensive compared to the US.

                This is because the UK government did a bit of horse trading with drug companies and allow them to price gouge OTC drugs and nonNHS prescription drugs while keeping NHS drugs cheap.

                  I thought socialism was the left's utopian dream?!   I guess it's a "shit joke" by the left, then.

                  Wealth inequality and inequity is capitalism's design. The video I showed you is a detailing of the suffering America is experiencing under capitalism- that is the system we're living in now, and the only segment of the left that supports it is the corporate left. Because, get this, they're rich.

                  We've never had socialism in America. Everyone on the gd* planet knows that.

                  Are you high or something? Because that wasn't even a joke. Nobody mistakes capitalism for socialism.

                    Ah, so in your racism of low expectations, you are saying that the brown people in Venezuela aren't capable of doing socialism right, but white America is.

                      If you reply to my posts, you have to actually engage with that post's content. You can't completely defer to an issue you claim you have greater knowledge in thinking that supports your argument better.

                      I never brought up Venezuela. Because I was replying to a previous poster who was talking about capitalism in - I believe - a capitalist nation.

                      Now you're claiming I'm a racist because I'm staying on-topic and because I realize that different people run things differently. To say nothing of how the video in my source argued that we could still live in a functioning economy under capitalism, once purged of its crony components.

                      Is this forum just your audition to be the new Milo Yiannopoulos?

                        LOL, Mr Deflection crying about not being on topic.

                        BTW, "socialized medicine sucks"  is the topic.

                          Bezos is working on it as we speak.  Jeff Bezos is far more successful than Trump has ever been.  He will figure it out.
