I already explained it to you. If you still can't figure out how you didn't pay for college and build your business without government and societies help, then you're not capable of grasping basic concepts of how society's and civilization work. It won't help for me to repeat myself.

I quit college and opened my own business. I built my business 100 % with my money and sweat. You didn't explain shit to me. I disagree with almost everything you say except wearing a mask. So quit repeating yourself.

I got a friend that's soooo against socialism, it's hilarious. He went to a military school during his high school years, that his parents paid for. He graduated from a college, that his parents paid for. He went to a christian law school, that his parents paid for. For the last 11-12 years he's been living in a house more expensive than any house my parents have ever bought, pool, 3 car garage, 4 bedroom, 3 bathrooms, also paid for by his parents. I've seen him go through 5 BMWs in that time and one of those was a E90 M3. I know for sure 4 of those BMWs were all paid for by his parents, I'm not sure about his new one. He had a couple small retail jobs in his early 20s, but up until a couple years ago he wasn't working either and his parents have been sending him money.

I know a "rich kid" that was basically given whatever he wanted. He always had the most badass custom car/truck, 80k wake board boat, never had a house tho. I heard his mom gave him 100k cash on two separate occasions. He has 3 or 4 vehicles right now, a jet ski and is gonna open his own weed dispensary. I know he had a recent job that was paying him 52k/year cash. Hardly enough to cover all of his expenses.

You tried dude. Lots of people have their head buried in the sand and you can't tell them otherwise. My parents are exactly the same, It's beyond frustrating to the point I don't even try. I just laugh.

I started up an old Texaco station that had been boarded up for years. Used my money to do so. Will either of you provide the information as to how that was subsidized and by whom.

And what was the cost of startup compared to average salary back then? Was the ratio anywhere near what it is today? No. Would you be able to do the same today with the same startup cost ratio that you invested?

To quote your boy zrick... It's simple math dude.

And did you build the roads and rail system the gas was transported on? Could you have turned a profit without the MASSIVE oil and gas subsidies we've had in place for over a 100 years that built all the refineries and infrastructure that allowed the product you sold to exist at a profitable price? Did you employ private security to make sure your station wasn't robbed or did the socialist police and fire departments protect your business? Who educated your employees? Who insured the bank you used? Did you incorporate? If so, society allowed you to separate your personal assets from the business in case your business failed. Society literally gave you the ability to take on the risk of owning a business and absorbs the cost of those that fail. I could spend the rest of the day listing all the things that you didn't do that allowed you to succeed. Government and society made everything about your business possible, but sure, you did it ALL BY YOURSELF. Never mind the hundreds of millions in taxes spent every year in our country that allows businesses to operate efficiently, have access to courts, open sea lanes, education, police, fire, banking oversight, etc, etc, etc..........................it was all boot strappy Jim that did it.

Insert worlds largest facepalm here.

I get the feeling some of you dont really understand socialism and like the idea of the way it sounds. Taxes paying for police, fire, courts and highways is not socialism. In socialism you dont own anything and have no rights to property. Everything belongs to everyone and the government decides who gets what and when. They decide how much we all get for clothes and food and when you get to go to the doctor. If we want to add "socialist systems" that just means we are voting in new policy and programs we want. I dont see how we could have part socialism. Growing up we were always taught to work hard, work smart and build what you want. No one is going to give you anything and you will have to work for everything you want and get. Now everyone wants a free handout and wants to get rich from making useless videos on Youtube about them unboxing some random item no one gives a crap about. I dont want free healthcare provided by the government, I dont want free room and board in some shack they would put us in. I want to go out and work for what I have and when Im retired I can look back and be proud of the life i built instead of looking back saying wow the government sure gave me some great mediocrity.

You might not want these things but universal healthcare that is implemented correctly is a great thing to have. As for free room and board don't use it if you have teh cash to do so. So many homeless people could really use some sort of room and board, it's the fastest/easiest way to help find you a job sooner than later

The Police, Fire Department, DPW, are all socialist institutions that help facilitate the functioning of society. They aren't for profit and are publically funded. This is the definition of socialism, we all throw in, and we all get to use their services (theoretically)

It's amazing how people are so against a concept they're already buried in to the waist. People who are against socialized medicine are the kind of people that divorce their wife and hide their assets so they can use Medicaid when they get sick in their later years.

Really hard to take anyone seriously when they don't understand that there are still super rich people in societies where some things have been socilazed. A one point in time John Rockefeller was the richest man in the -entire history- of the world, and he paid unbelievably high income taxes. His familial estate was taxed at 70% and his dependents still came out ludicrously rich.

But keep voting for the pro business party, any day now we're gonna start seeing those trickle down nickles and dimes...any day now.

... I read this as I sit in an exam room, at a hospital, where I will pay nothing for my visit. I just shake my head at where this thread has gone from such humble beginnings. :ROFLMAO:

Just because you don't understand something, doesn't mean you're right.
