I guess I'm in the slight minority. Whatup, bitches!?! Sorry, my conservative friends, I don't have a poll for 'Fascist'. ;-)
Frank Luntz, a Republican pollster, told Republicans to "Stop using the word 'Capitalism', it only does you damage!"
I'm seeing red, and soon, so will all of you ;-)

>Taxes
In other words, take away what the workers produce and give it to the bums who produce nothing but hordes of brats for us to take care of. Business has already fled the country rather than be raped, many of the workers are doing the same or going underground. No wonder we are having such a hard time with this 'gimme free stuff' mentality.

It's not taking from the producers to give to leeches. It's a different way of financing things that we all use. And theres evidence to suggest it's more cost-effective to do it that way, for example, the cost of healthcare per capita in this country versus other countries.

because the money is much better spent on our enormous war machine?
Why is everybody so opposed to the government providing services with taxes? free stuff is such a dirty word. Why else are they collecting all this money if not to serve you?

If the govt spent the money at all wisely very few would be opposed. But the govt is the opposite of wise, it gives the loot to cronies (obumble) or to finance stupid wars and terrorist operations against civilians that they laughingly call militants (obumble) or hand it to the industry that gives the biggest bribes.
Its like the bum that comes up and starts smearing your windshield with his dirty rag and demanding a payoff from you for his services.

You need socialism. But not full scale. To keep the Conservatives honest and vice versa

Socialists need to be honest with themselves before even thinking about making capitalists honest. I'd docialists were honest, they'd probably be Capitalists.

Stealing money to give to the poor is not honest, theft is dishonest.
Also socialism creates poverty, its a feedbavk loop.
