socialism is a scare word in the US, used to rally right wing voters.

Let me ask you, are you still begging and praying for a "job with Government of New City" with the DMV?

You state previously this is your biggest life goal-

Now, that will be socialism you know. rolleyes rolleyes


You need to get a proper education- not some washed down place, and find a job in the private sector and stop looking for a government hand-out.

Exactly. Just like how Bustamante and Seaga used "communism" in Jamaica.

The US is a capitalist welfare state. People like Bernie_AOC like to make those on welfare feel good about themselves being on the dole.

Yea, with plenty help from the socialist system. Just remember, ”You Didn’t Build That” Go ahead and educate yourself.

And who pays for all these public projects that benefit the entire public. The public some more than others.

How is that socialism?

Individual income taxes are the federal government’s single biggest revenue source. In fiscal year 2018, which ended Sept. 30, the individual income tax is expected to bring in roughly $1.7 trillion, or about half of all federal revenues, according to the Congressional Budget Office.

If past statistics can offer any guidance, in 2016, $1.44 trillion income taxes were paid by 140.9 million taxpayers reporting a total of $10.2 trillion in adjusted gross income, according to data recently released by the Internal Revenue Services.

To continue reading this article, you must be a Bloomberg News subscriber.


Now, for you corporations may be people, but individual taxepayers paid most of the taxes.


Again, ”you didn’t build that”.

70% of Americans dont federal taxes, guess where they are on the tax brackets.

Who employs these individual tax earners, by your logic single tax filers should be the only ones driving on the roads.

Federal taxes are not the only taxes people pay. Secondly, give people a proper paying job and they will be more than willing to pay their fair share of taxes, unlike many corporations.

Stop taking jobs to China and, as we are now witnessing, having to kiss up to the Chinese, even giving up their rights to free speech, just so as to not pay a real living wage in North America, then there would more taxes paid into the federal coffers.

Which president gave the moniker of favored nation trade status to China...oh yeah.

I say all the better. Now we get to freely recruit their citizens as part of our preferred Euro-centric immigration plan.
