The United States Has Been ..IS ..A Socialist Country. We are just finding it out
Feeling like we are being controlled | July 9, 2021 | Vanity

With all that is going on in our country, we did not know how deep it is or how wide. President Trump pulled back the curtain and we can see if we want to see.

With the Justice Department, judges, and our government, plus the media... all are working against the people and against the Constitution. We say do not vote for a socialist... keep it out. Keep us free.

It's already here.. if you don't feel it.. look around!

“why does Deep State have to steal elections...?”

They probably didn’t have to, but being a thief is a hard habit to break(and so is being bossy if you are powerful).

I've started a whisper campaign in my neighborhood for parents to demand they be included on the board that interviews and hires the teachers

I did a four year stint o the board and was appalled at the functional illiterates "they" hired.

I've seen very qualified and papered teachers set aside for the son of a board member .... someone that began almost every sentence with the word "so"

Do you want to rankle MY nerves ?

Start speaking with the word "so"

You also have to show earnings over $50,000 a year to immigrate to Norway.

Ya know... these freebie checks biden has sent out... for some reason, I didn’t really want one. I could use it but it was coming from a man who I detest... who is way overspending....
There is nothing right coming from our government.. and to top that off... the rest do not care... they just had to get Trump out! why? Ya can’t run a socialist country with a strong force like DJ Trump. (if they could ruin him and jail him) but the people stood with him... look at the crowds at the rallies... the dems are afraid of that many loyals... they do their dirty work one on one and show the rest what they are capable of.. how ruthless they are.. all of them!

Consider this, if most Americans really would vote for socialism, why does Deep State have to steal elections...?

Because they do not turn out for the elections. They just stay home, especially with someone as uninspiring as Biden.

So the Politburo and Pravda worked with the Chinese to promote the Wuhan virus as an emergency so they could re-write election rules and create a ballot for every registered voter.

So those pro-socialists did not show up at the ballot box, but they voted by mail without knowing it. An audit will find that every ballot is connected to a registered voter.

Notice how nobody is talking about the record turnout? Our side set a record, but the Democrats set an even bigger record with the most lame candidate ever.

All this was orchestrated over the past decades. Trump's election stalled the Obama-to-Hillary handoff of the deep state. So they stalled Trump with fabricated charges and continuous investigations while they conspired to ensure the election.

They have the apparatus in place to destroy anyone who rises up against the Politburo. They have the apparatus to ensure every large city votes Democrat forever in record numbers.

If you worked most of your adult life, then the first 7 years or so is just getting back what was actually paid into the system on your behalf. Then the next few years are getting back the earnings you could have made on the money taken from your paycheck IF you invested it prudently and let it accrue non-taxable profits. After that, you start collecting more than you paid in.

And, remind your neighbor that the maximum SS benefit being paid right now is $46,740 per year. Now, if we measured government employee pension plans to Social Security by comparing the max public pension being paid to the max SS benefit, then maybe you can see some discrepancies in favor of the government retirees.

Last time I voted, a worker at the polling place asked if I wanted a "I voted" sticker. I told him to keep the sticker and next time spend it on fixing the roads in town. He replied that so much goes into the pension system for local government that there is little money left to provide historical services. If only government retirees would only drop dead after 2 or 3 years on pension, maybe we could afford those pensions they get.

"socialism... a set of political and economic theories based on the belief that everyone has an equal right to a share of a country's wealth and that the government should own and control the main industries"

https://www.oxfordlearnersdictionaries.com/us/definition/american_english/socialism

Socialism has two key parts. The first is more important to leftists.

An Asian dentist I know, came from Viet Nam... when he was 8 yrs old, with his parents.. they escaped. .is how he put it.. and he sees what is going on today.. it is not a free United States. Those who have seen it, recognize it.

Our speech is being controlled... churches are going neutral to avoid the gov.

What our children know and when they should know it... is being controlled.

social life and the worst we can become is being encouraged by those who can.. abortions are disgustingly lied about and performed to buy a car...is it a human being.. a life....? or not!

Yeonmi Park, NORK escapee

Was never taught the meaning of words, so never learned basic human development.

Kind'a like what the public school system is doing to American kids now.

You can follow Yeonmi, and I highly recommend it

Yes, my husband and I discussed this very thing last night after my friend dropped me off from our outing. He said after 10 years, most people are getting what they didn’t (forcibly) contribute. So I surmised that this could be one of the reasons that the Democrats (and many Republicans) are happy with the CCP virus being distributed. It helps the government balance their books. Then they pretend to care that people are dying, when in fact, they are relieved. It’s just another useless eater that they don’t have to send $ to or give rationed “health care” to.

From the Socialist Party Platform of 1912:

“there will be and can be no remedy and no substantial relief except through Socialism under which industry will be carried on for the common good and every worker receive the full social value of the wealth he creates.”

“The collective ownership of land wherever practicable, and in cases where such ownership is impracticable, the appropriation by taxation of the annual rental value of all the land held for speculation and exploitation.”

“Political Demands
...
The adoption of a graduated income tax and the extension of inheritance taxes, graduated in proportion to the value of the estate and to nearness of kin....”

SS was enacted in August, 1935. At the time, "U.S. life expectancy for a person born in 1935 was just under 62 years, according to records from the federal Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. On average, girls were expected to live to 64 and boys to 60."

And that is how SS got through the Congress. Most people who paid in would not live long enough to collect, and those who did would not collect for long. That would keep the system solvent, and allow for a "Trust Fund" that could be used as a record-keeping device to track how much should be paid in by current workers.

The have not yet controlled the majority. you’ve seen the caption .... they are after you.. I am just in the say.

They see the masses at the rallies and they have to think....

no one ever drew such a crowd..and why? to save our country!

but keep in mind the media has fed the public for a long time...

As a senior, I wonder how much the younger folks realize. the frog gets cooked in time... is it a time when the people become used to a change here and there and with all the accepting, they are cooked and didn’t know it.

So much for government competency in projecting accurately.

Reminds me of one Dr. Fauci.

The state is inherently socialist, because it monopolizes and nationalizes the means of production of justice and security. By claiming the authority to tax—and by actually doing so—it proves that the state is the actual owner of the property being taxed, and of the labor of those taxed, and of the “means of production” used to earn the income that’s taxed. Only ownership would confer any right to exact rent or dividends.

There are differences of degree, but not of kind.

Thanks for posting that link to Yeonmi Park’s talk. I watched a couple of years ago, but it is even more precious now to be reminded of her and her story. “Nothing is forever, “ she said. Including freedom.

when you live past 60, they expect all to have money in savings or invested to live on...?

welfare is one thing that backfired... did not help like it was supposed to.
The democratic part of government has done nothing to help the black community... they have not improved their inner city schools...they have not fixed their inner city living arrangements... and yet blacks vote dems...
