Some people just can't see that Capitalism actually has flaws. (Or refuse to, as the case may be.)

Capitalism has many flaws. It's just that America has been just So(c)ialist enough for just long enough that no American alive today has experienced anything close to pure, Lassez-Faire Capitalism.

If the day comes that we do...........

Well, as the old saying goes; "Be careful what you ask for. You just might get it.".

There is a reason why so many Americans overwhelmingly abandoned the model we had prior to the New Deal.

And, no it wasn't because they were stupid.

This is the democratic party today, ripe with brainwashed followers lead around with engineered propaganda.

Politics in this country today is to divide the masses, keep them fighting each other so they don't see the real plan the head has.



Divided We Fall

Could be applied to the wings of both parties. However I believe Repub wing is more organized. I guess because it has more broadcasting outlets. The left has nothing compared to Repub talk radio.

Actually the OP is trying to help you lift the veil of ignorance that covers your mind. You should be giving thanks.

How can you post insulting crap like that and then whine when people are harsh towards you?

Note that in addition to the text above, your post quoted Bluestreak with emphasis added, making your post into a personal attack.

It's not only not true, it's an incredibly evil propaganda manipulation image.
