Make no mistake about it, socialism won’t lead to equal prosperity. That’s what the idiotic and incompetent democratic socialists like AOC tell us will happen, sure, but it’s not true. If we put a government into power that wants to use its power to create equal economic outcomes for American citizens, then we will all end up starving and equally power. We will not be equally prosperous; that is impossible.
Instead, Winston Churchill, in his quote on capitalism and socialism, is right on this issue. Capitalism’s benefit, as he states, is that we’re all unequally rich. That’s because capitalism is what leads to prosperity; it creates the incentive structure that prods people to create wealth and drive the economy onward.
“The inherent vice of capitalism is the unequal sharing of blessings; the inherent virtue of socialism is the equal sharing of miseries.”
Sure, some people make more than others. But wealth inequality isn’t a problem; it just means that some people are more successful than others, not that anyone is oppressed.

It’s REALLY going to get bad when everyone has to turn to blogpimping.
Yes, this is my refrain when all the America-hating Dems start theirs of “everyone equal!”
“...everyone equally poor.”
An economic system dreamt up by a bucket of crabs.
Our “betters” won’t be poor, quite the contrary.

Venezuelan style.
When the elephants struggle, the grass suffers. ~ African proverb
I guess this applies even when the elephant party rolls over and plays dead...
Andy Biggs on the floor now is saying we need to fix our election process. Not ONE WORD about throwing out these fraudulent votes that I heard.
Just “we need to fix this”.
Kabuki theater.
Uh....NO!
Much more poor with the productive funding the lazy, and thus being disincentivized.
I don’t think economic arguments are going to make much of an impact at this point. Sure, socialism is stupid, but focusing on economics allowed the GOP to be taken over by people like Paul Ryan and Charles Koch.
The Trump economy was great, and it was even incredibly resilient against the virus lockdown hoax, but the Democrats are still very close to seizing absolute power.
Unless you are inner party
statist central planning + narrow statist political incentives and decisions + statist bureaucratic management + state ownership & state control + statist monopoly = shortages + economic chaos + destruction + inefficiencies + waste + malinvestment + capital decumulation = disaster & catastrophe & misery
