The side that Ninja leans they been brainwashed on what socialism is...Everybody gets their pockets dipped into for taxes but when you want to actually spend it on things with direct benefits like healthcare, education, a lot better infrastructure etc that becomes “socialism”

In this current capitalistic society... the bottom %99 percent of Americans are already socialists... just socialists who share %1 percent of the resources. If %100 percent of the population shared %100 percent of the resources in true socialist fashion... everyone would live in abundance... not just the top %1 percent of the population. It is only a matter of time before this occurs, and the capitalistic bubble that was always meant to pop... pops.

You can't talk income and expenses with somebody who doesn't have any significant expenditures.

more billionaires than ever too
corporations sitting on record piles of cash
it's exactly why people are calling for a MORE progressive tax system and a healthcare system that doesn't bankrupt hundreds of thousands of people every year

Honestly don't understand the logic of not pouring the ****load of excess money made by corps. into education and health care. The two things that create a vibrant healthy society . Oh well stay stupid and unhealthy .

Ninja is so proud of his copy and paste skills while skimming thru the article and spewing "facts" like they were his initial thoughts.
Then after he finished, he pad his back like he schooled someone.
Keep the ignorance strong my dude.
Just like Dominicans aren't black, I think that was a major talking point of his.

well pouring a trillion dollars a year into military spending every year has been a winning proposition for Americans. Terrorism no longer exists, everyone respects America, we no longer have endless wars with countries that never attacked us in the first place, and the average American is prospering because Rockwell Collins creates some new bomb that can find the *** hairs of a terrorist from 90,000 miles away.
obviously socialism is only stupid if it is the governments controlling stuff that benefits individuals, not corporations. The government running corporate socialism for the defense industry is perfect fine so long as we can nuke some poors from a phone on a ****ter while getting a great spray tan.

some of you "Socialist" should actually read about da scandavanians broad tax.
*ahem*
taxfoundation.org
Scandinavian countries tend to levy top personal income tax rates on (upper) middle-class earners, not just high-income taxpayers. For example, in Denmark the top statutory personal income tax rate of 55.9 percent applies to all income over 1.3 times the average income. From the American perspective, this means that all income over $65,000 (1.3 times the average U.S. income of about $50,000) would be taxed at 55.9 percent.
Norway and Sweden have similarly flat income tax systems. Norway’s top personal tax rate of 38.4 percent applies to all income over 1.6 times the average Norwegian income. Sweden’s top personal tax rate of 57.1 percent applies to all income over 1.5 times the average national income.
In comparison, the United States levies its top personal income tax rate of 43.7 percent (federal and state combined) at 9.3 times the average U.S. income (around $500,000). Thus, a comparatively smaller share of taxpayers faces the top rate.

How Scandinavian Countries Pay for Their Government Spending
Scandinavian countries are well known for their broad social safety net and their public funding of services such as universal health care, higher education, parental leave, and child and elderly care. So how do Scandinavian countries raise their tax revenues?

Wealth is also distributed inefficiently and unevenly by corrupt "morons" yet here you are defending capitalism. Weird.

Unlike you. I can comprehend what's being said. Where in my statements have I said I support socialism.
The examples you gaven poor!! It might have started as socialism but ended being tyranny, corruption and dictatorship. Hence, the reason I don't support it. But you're all the way to one side without understand, better yet, comprehending that there's social and economy injustice. You're only talking out your *** on an economy standpoint.
You're a historian, or so you claim, but yet you refuse to accept black african blood runs thru your veins.
Just saying ....
PS: you talk about accountants and money ... cool beans. You might be prospering, but the facts are your people are not. Prove me wrong, I'll wait.
