Six Contradictions About Socialism in America

- America is capitalist and greedy - yet half of the population is subsidized.

- Half of the population is subsidized - yet they think they are victims.

- They think they are victims - yet their representatives run the government.

- Their representatives run the government - yet the poor keep getting poorer.

- The poor keep getting poorer - yet they have things that people in other countries only dream about.

- They have things that people in other countries only dream about - yet they want America to be more like those other countries.

Why make an argument or comparrison that you yourself don't believe? Why be petty and personal when this thread was not even aimed at you? Do you know of the personal sacrifices I'm making to go to Mexico? Typical left winger who can't defend their position on substance and has to resort to personal attacks.

Nothing personal. I don't know you. I'm just going by your posts.
Your Actions speak louder than your right wing posts.

My "actions"?

You compare the Biblical teaching of churches sending and supporting missionaries to freeloading off of the tax payer, and then want to lecture me about "actions"? Really?

Light, i have to say this....

Get the racial chip off of your shoulder.
Comon' and admit it. You've been brainwashed into believing that white people are responsible for the ills of blacks and that the policies of Obama are "payback". This is why you get mad when some of speak out against his policies. It is a race thing with you.

Half of Americans net pay no income tax, and recive "tax credits" in the thousands of dollars that are really welfare. Yet, many of these people scream about "inequity" and think the rich "don't pay their fair share".
