What you are saying is that if I have two slices of my pizza on my plate, the government will come and make me give you one of my slices.

The way socialism works is that everyone pitches in to buy ingredients for the dough, sauce, cheese, and toppings. Then we make pizza, and have a pizza party where everyone gets pizza! Even if some people chip in a little more than others, there is enough pizza to feed everyone in the end. No one is hoarding ten pizzas that they're not going to eat while children suffer and people die! Hooray! | LOL except that even if I only have two SLICES of pizza, they still take some!
The problem with your naive views of socialism is that is simply isn't mathematically accurate. Bernie is lying when he tells you he will "only increase taxes on the rich". It's not possible, mathematically speaking.
Just Google "Bernie Sanders Tax increase everyone" and read what you find. It won't just be Bill Gates paying for your "free" stuff.
Anyways, this really isn't enjoyable or productive, so I'm going to end the debate here. Everyone is free to vote for whomever they choose. I just hope you'll do proper research instead of just listening to rally speeches or charts shared on Facebook.
Back to the fun silly talk about socialism! Because at the end of the day, it's a big joke! :lol: |
