“Sen. Elizabeth Warren of Massachusetts proposes to nationalize private industry”

Hitler did this through regulations.

Who does she propose cooking this time??? Elderly white males?

Just because you had the best of grades and higher education was free, it did not necessarily mean that you got in. The children of Communist Party members in good standing were admitted first, no question asked and no exams were necessary.

This is a curious development that seems omnipresent in "egalitarian" socialism - there always is a New Class of party members and it's hereditary. A New Aristocracy, in short. Free everything for everybody is impossibly silly, but people seem to believe it.

All socio-economic systems suck, it’s just that capitalism sucks the least.

It is all about ‘give me my free stuff’ and make others work hard for it.

How about a system where people voluntary decide if they want something and how much they would be willing to exchange for it. And also they could voluntarily decide how much their time is worth so another person could exchange money tokens for their help.....

NAH.. that would NEVER work... /sarc

The founder of the People Cube also escaped from communism and immigrated to the U.S. It’s a good satire site.

Socialism isn’t free, that’s just the sales pitch of no money down

Capitalism supporters need to know how to easily define it. It’s the sum of 2 things: freedom and property rights. That also means it’s morally superior.

“...although she has a degree from a prestigious and very expensive school, ...”
Tells all we need to know about that school.
Betcha they have majors in “Flat Earth”, “Zero Point Energy”, and “History of Intelligent Democrat Senators”.

Wanna bet certain companies (Google, Facebook, Amacon - fill in all other large liberal donations) will be exempt?

Which companies would you rather have fail?

The real tech companies (power, airplanes, transistors, etc) or the keyboard tech companies - listed above?)

Or maybe we should leave the middle class alone and have Soros and his buddy Buffet pay for our socialism. 100%. And they can come live with me. I’ll take care of them.

I believe we should introduce a mandatory comprehensive lesson plan on capital budgeting (All aspects of life, not just business, studying the affects/Net Present Values of outlays for public programs as well) starting in 7th grade. Studying the operations and the fundamental values of cash flows at an early age will easily defuse the temptations of ignorant bitter failures who want something for nothing from the taxpayer.
