The GOP/Teabagger wind bag is at it again…..Sen. DeMint…this time he is using the tired old argument of socialism……again!
“I would love to be able to work with the president on something — but he’s practicing what we call ‘venture socialism.’ — I mean, he basically has taken an approach where it’s the government that needs to stimulate jobs,” DeMint told Fox News’ Greta Van Susteren. “And I know as an employer . . . you don’t hire someone because the payroll tax is a little lower or you get a $4,000 tax credit.
Democracy is a form of government in which all citizens take part. It is government of the people, by the people, and for the people.
Socialism is where we all put our resources together and work for the common good of us all and not just for our own benefit. In this sense, we are sharing the wealth within society.
Of course when people hear that term, “Share the wealth” they start screaming, “OMG you want to rob from the rich and give it all to the poor!” But that is NOT what Democratic Socialism means.
To a Democratic Socialist, sharing the wealth means pooling tax money together to design social programs that benefit ALL citizens of that country, city, state, etc.
Democratic Socialism does NOT mean taking from the rich and giving to the poor. It works to benefit everyone so the rich can no longer take advantage of the poor and middle class.
Okay, Google it! There is NO such thing as venture socialism….well in DeMint’s tiny brain….but not in any political or economic theory….as usual the Teabaggers make up crap and use it for its fear factor….a made up crisis or situation…….kinda like a ponzi scheme or some shot that causes mental retardation……
Just how stupid do they think the American people are? (that is a rhetorical question)………I try to ignore the silliness of an uninformed mind but sometimes I cannot let it go…..and DeMint and his moronic statements is one of those I cannot let go……Sorry if I am being redundant……
Lobotero,
It’s much easier to criticize and toss around baseless accusations than compromise. They are the lowest form of humanity. They’re only interested in scaring people into supporting their cruel, corporate agendas. I have no respect for them sons-a-bitches anymore. Not one iota.
On a lighter note, love the new theme.
Terrance you are right…..the problem is when I was a socialist agitator I had to handle these types of insults and misinformation…….and I hate misinformation….you can hate socialism but only if you know what it is….
Thanx on the theme thing…I was getting a bit bored with the other one…..
Lovely. Let’s just make up phrases for people to spell wrong on their signs.
Spinny…..you know someone in Bumphuk, Mississippi believes this asswad…..I despise morons like DeMental………he is usiong fear to control people’s minds….and they do not think it is brainwashing…..
“And I know as an employer . . . you don’t hire someone because the payroll tax is a little lower or you get a $4,000 tax credit.”
Good, Mr. DeMint. Now that that’s settled, how about ending those tax breaks for the rich since YOU JUST ADMITTED THEY ARE NOT INCENTIVES TO CREATE JOBS OR GROW BUSINESSES.
Asshat.
I swear, Stephen Colbert is the only cool thing to come out of this stupid state…….
Morning DC and it is always nice to see you……..what is it about South Carolina? I live in Mississippi and I thought we had the best idiots in Congress…..
Stupidity is like The Force in South Carolina………it is STRONG in our politicians.
AND our voters.
🙁
OMG! There is another place as ass backwards as Mississippi! I feel your pain!
What are some of the political.reforms and public policies advocated by socialists and their allies on.the road to full socialism? WE COMBAT THE MATERIALISTIC.SPIRIT WITHIN AND OUTSIDE US AND ARE CONVINCED THAT A PERMANENT RECOVERY.OF OUR PEOPLE CAN ONLY PROCEED WITHIN ON THE FOUNDATION OF THE COMMON.GOOD BEFORE THE INDIVIDUAL GOOD. ..– From the Twenty-Five Point Programme of the German National Socialist.Workers Party authored by Adolf Hitler and others on February 24 1920. Konrad Heidens translation in A History of National Socialism ………Politicians such.as Barack Obama Nancy Pelosi the Clintons and Al Gore were not the first.to push for socialistic national health care schemes political controls.on wages and prices and land grabs in the name of the national good .or a phony environmentalism far too many want to solve real or imagined.problems by using government meddling up to and including totalitarian.tyranny in peoples lives and in their businesses.
It is just silly…….but yet so called democratic governments and interfere in people’s lives by telling them what to do with their bodies or what to read or …..my point is the ALL governments meddle in people’s loves in one way or another….
