Look around! The entire world outside of the US practices some form of socialism, can it really be that bad???
socialism was a scare tactic that the ama used back when truman was trying to get a real national health plan along with social security (see murray - wagner-dingell act). they were trying to protect the wages of the doctors. they took out ads in the newspapers to scare people because they knew people were scared of the communists back then. you can go to the library and look them up. i'm surprised they still use that.
Socialism is what originally got us benefits at work, pensions, reasonable working conditions, paid time off, breaks. Corporations sure the F didn't decide on a whim to just give us all that because they care. Medicare is socialism. We also have socialized public schools, mail, police, fire, emergency. Just for starters. So yea....is that a bad thing??
that's not a very good logical argument for anything really.
And yet people from all of those countries are immigrating HERE. Maybe someone should tell them how great they really had it?
Yea, there is such a problem with those Finns sneaking into this country.
Yea, and all those Canadian illegals. Damn.
As fucked up as Mexico is, I've known Americans who go there for health care & dental care. Some are even planning to retire there.
I'm thinking the Finns might have it a tad tougher trying to "sneak" into this country than the Canadians or the Mexicans. I have Canadian friends who come HERE for the health and dental care. I also know plenty of people who plan to retire to Florida or Hawaii....but I never hear anyone say they want to retire and move to LA or New York. Not one.
It's cold and expensive in New York, I can understand why people don't retire here.
Yes, you're right about Finns, however, we used to have quite a few Irish illegals in New York and they're oceans away from here, too.
i wonder about that too. i wonder why they think its so great here? tv? that's not real.
The us has been practising it for 50 years, is that bad? I don't know, do people protest to let the world know they are happy? Privatise profits, socialise losses!
funny. when you understand patriarchy. men are taught that to be manly, its good to be independent. they tend to make decisions based on self, not others. and women tend to sacrifice self for others. look who is in power most of the time. patriarchy is oppression (worse for men, but they don't recognize it. it started before they have a language so its all they ever knew. they have trouble earlier in life and are often lonely later in life because of it. not to mention prison, wars, etc.) it would be good to understand trauma and what trauma is...before you watch/read this stuff. but, a lot of people think its a pivot point when they see it. patriarchy is a lie. one big fat lie. it's not good for men or women. and it shows up all over the place. it's before religions, and crosses most cultures.

No joke, their economies are boOming
Many more people will come to your side when you are proactive (for “new” Business & Government solutions), instead of reactive (against “old” Business & Government solutions), which is why what we most immediately need is a comprehensive “new” strategy that implements all our various socioeconomic demands at the same time, regardless of party, and although I'm all in favor of taking down today's ineffective and inefficient Top 10% Management System of Business & Government, there's only one way to do it – by fighting bankers as bankers ourselves; that is, using a Focused Direct Democracy organized according to our current Occupations & Generations. Consequently, I have posted a 1-page Summary of the Strategically Weighted Policies, Organizational Operating Structures, and Tactical Investment Procedures necessary to do this at:

because we need 100,000 “support clicks” at AmericansElect.org to support a Presidential Candidate -- such as any given political opportunist you'd like to draft -- in support of the above bank-focused platform.
Most importantly, remember, as cited in the first link, that as Bank Owner-Voters in your 1 of 48 "new" Business Investment Groups (or "new" Congressional Committees) you become the "new" Congress replacing the "old" Congress according to your current Occupation & Generation, called a Focused Direct Democracy.
Therefore, any Candidate (or Leader) therein, regardless of party, is a straw man, a puppet, just like today, for it's the STRATEGY – the sequence of steps – that the people organize themselves under, in Military Internet Formation of their Individual Purchasing & Group Investment Power, that's important. In this, sequence is key.
Why? Because there are Natural Social Laws – in mathematical sequence – that are just like Natural Physical Laws, such as the Law of Gravity. You must follow those Natural Social Laws or the result will be Injustice, War, etc.
The FIRST step in Natural Social Law is to CONTROL the Banks as Bank Owner-Voters. If you do not, you will inevitably be UNJUSTLY EXPLOITED by the Top 10% Management Group of Business & Government who have a Legitimate Profit Motive, just like you, to do so.
Consequently, you have no choice but to become Candidates (or Leaders) yourselves as Bank Owner-Voters according to your current Occupation & Generation.
So please JOIN the 2nd link so we can make our support clicks at AmericansElect.org when called for, at exactly the right time, by an e-mail from that group, in support of the above the bank-focused platform. If so, then you will see and feel how your goals can be accomplished within the above strategy as a “new” Candidate (or Leader) of your current Occupation & Generation.
