wot i find more shocking is how some look at me when i say "yeah i am a socialist"...spesh from the very people it would benefit..i believe in wage caps for high end earners or higher taxation on their salaries
an those savings to go to increasing minimum wages...that said i also believe if you do nothing then you should get nothing

Was thinking of getting a white gold or platinum fang, not a tooth replacement just a cap. But being that Im a part-time worker, that should take some saving. A socialist? Arent cha from the seat of imperislism mother britain? It is nice being beneath the wings of the empire. I mean shit what are you going to do bad mouth, trash talk. Thats like yelling at a sports team. LF you know where I stand but honestly a friend of mine told me awhile back "you can buck the system only for so long & the next thing you know, your part of it."

I will never understand how anyone can be ok with gov't taking 60-85% of what they work hard for, innovate, build, create, etc. The gov't in the US is only supposed to uphold the Constitution and protect its people, end of story. Ever since the gov't started trying to regulate every aspect of people's lives, run things it has no business running and putting its fingers into everything shit went downhill. I'm talking early 1900's. Biggest farce of all was taking us off the gold standard.
You want more wealth for all? Stop hating what you don't have, push for the gold standard and any end to the central banking system.
All the welfare system really accomplishes is stealing from the working poor.

By welfare system I mean everything the fed harvests- social security, Medicare, workmans comp, etc. Then there are the taxes and fees attached to every single purchase and utility. Ever actually read your electric or cell phone bill? Govt isn't the answer. It's the problem. History proves it over and over again.

Toll roads collect money that supposedly fixes roads. Most road taxes get filched for miscellaneous- anything a state wants.

An they been filching from Social Security for so long they want to get rid of it. That is a symptom of a large but rather lesser problem, no accountability. And they never repay their loans.
zombieparakeet – “Govt isn't the answer. It's the problem. History proves it over and over again.” - Bingo! Thanks Zombie. The problem is that we have let our government get too big and allowed corporations and money be the primary influence of our culture. When government begins to run its citizenry like a business we become a resource to be used. We have always had the power to direct and influence all of this but “We the People” have short memories and are basically too selfish to live as a species. How many corporations have been busted placing the all mighty dollar ahead of human rights or even health? How many of those continue to operate today? To kill these monsters is easy, stop supporting them, but we all “want” what they are selling. To know what is to come in the near future all we have to do is look at our history. We are already slaves.
