  Higher taxes for universal health care = good Higher taxes to give more money to companies that make weapons and insight wars so they can use them = bad Raising minimum wage to at least catch up with the inflation since the last time it was raised = good Cutting taxes for the already rich and raising expenses for the poor = bad That's simple enough right?

  What a stupid and ignorant response. Before government started regulating industry people used radium to make glow in the dark surfaces and sausage had saw dust and rat droppings thrown in. Abolishing taxes is a lazier and even less plausible act than 100% equal income communism. What delusional world are you living in? Ayn Rand can eat deez nuts.

  What a tard. Trying to break it down into little logical steps but ending up equating Pacifism with self-sacrifice and religion.

  It sure is convenient that you can point out Cuba as an example of socialism not working since Cuba is embargoed by the dominant trade hegemon of the Western hemisphere, not to mention the rest of the world. And yet Cuba still has better health care then the United States. The "superior wealth building culture" that you are talking about is a pathetic lie to cover up the real reasons why some people in the United States are so rich while others raise their children on minimum wage with no benefits. You sound like random Fox News soundbites.
