Re: Progressive Ideology
Being on a local school board planning committee..........some of asked why the HIGH school user fees didn't show up in the revenue. Anywhere.
Kind of like that record breaking FEC fine on Obama. Or the Goldman Saks fine. Or, HSBC fine. Or the NOAA fines (oh, we know where THOSE fines went....party on Garth )
https://www.telemessage.com/infographic ... s-history/
Wells Fargo's $575 million "fine" didn't make this list.......but I am sure the state of Massachusettes will be VERY transparent as to what happened to this fine/money. Pretends enjoy this practice. And, some are up in arms about a few colleges having some sailors that don't know what "helms a lee " means? Or even starboard.

There you go again dumbing down a long standing definition to fit your own agenda. You think we're all so stupid that we don't know that the
Definition of socialism
1 : any of various economic and political theories advocating collective or governmental ownership and administration of the means of production and distribution of goods
2a : a system of society or group living in which there is no private property
b : a system or condition of society in which the means of production are owned and controlled by the state
3 : a stage of society in Marxist theory transitional between capitalism and communism and distinguished by unequal distribution of goods and pay according to work done

Re: Progressive Ideology
Ocasio Cortez takes a page out of Joe McCarthys book.
Ocasio-Cortez also accused Wells Fargo of being “involved in the caging of children” by financing facilities operated by Immigration and Customs Enforcement. Sloan said the bank was not involved in the caging of children although it had provided financing to a company that engaged in prison construction.
This woman is dangerous. VERY dangerous. As are her anti-semite sisters in white robes.

The same way some folks believe that giving the wealthy tax breaks will make things better for the rest of us.Socialism vs. Social Democracy
Far more common are systems of social democracy, now often referred to as democratic socialism, in which extensive state regulation, with limited state ownership, has been employed by democratically elected governments (as in Sweden and Denmark) in the belief that it produces a fair distribution of income without impairing economic growth.

Re: Progressive Ideology
Let's agree that is accurate - how can you attribute success to either form of economic theory?So there aren't more people working now that in the last 3 decades. Fewer people on food stamps. Unemployment continues to drop.
Re: Progressive Ideology
How bout this. Unless the socialist government in question—whichever you choose—doesn't employ CAPITALISM in a major way—It fails.foreverlax wrote: ↑Thu Mar 14, 2019 11:01 amLet's agree that is accurate - how can you attribute success to either form of economic theory?So there aren't more people working now that in the last 3 decades.

Re: Progressive Ideology
Kids are usually to the left of their parents, but according to this Opinion from Financial Times, Bernanke knew that QE was robbing Peter (the Millenials) to pay Paul (the Boomers).
The value of Real Estate assets (which is the principle wealth of my generation, which had been shown time and again that property was the key to stable wealth) was propped up by the cash for trash QE programs, and now the next generation of buyers, burdened as they are with onerous debt just to get educated, are waving off that aspect of the American Dream.

And we wring our hands and wonder why the kids these days feel that they, as a society, are owed a portion of the wealth that we boomers squirreled away.

Re: Progressive Ideology
Great. Name a socialist goverment---not a fascist government, or a dictatorship (e.g. Venezuela) that doesn't employ capitalism in a major.
Here's a few socialist governments, and they all use capitalism: Finland, Germany, France, UK, Sweden, Spain, Austria.....
You have nothing to worry about. Cortez doesn't want the government to make shoes or cars. Calm down and stop listening to FoxNation...they're just wrong.

Re: Progressive Ideology
Yup. And stop complaining about how we ignored the climate issue and kicked that can down the road. And kicked a heckuva lot of other cans down the road, as well.

Re: Progressive Ideology
Seriously... Republicans love AOC... she is the Democrats answer to Sarah Palin. The idiotic gift that keeps on giving. The hardest determination between the 2 women is which one butchers the English language more. Like yah know it kinda like yah know I like get confused sorta like yah know I sorta kinda grasp the concept of yah know like what the English language is like all about. Archie Bunker has the perfect term for AOC... dingbat...
Advantage to Palin... no snapping of bubble gum and twirling her hair with her fingers. ![Razz :P](./images/smilies/icon_razz.gif)

Re: Progressive Ideology
I admire her because how ever poorly she speaks her mind she says what she means. I suppose if we are judging by your own standards coaster you have had a man crush on Sarah Palin for all these many years. I mean after all you could never stop talking about her.seacoaster wrote: ↑Thu Mar 14, 2019 6:54 pm You love her. There doesn't appear to be many moments you aren't thinking about her.

Re: Progressive Ideology
Hah. If you can find a single mention of Mrs. Palin by me, I'll buy you a bottle of your choice from a fan's inventory.
I guess the difference is that Mrs. Palin, other than deep-sixing John McCain's chance at the Presidency, wasn't worthy of a small fraction of anyone's -- or my -- mindshare. AOC has something to say. I understand your beating heart for her.
