Capitalism loses out to Socialism, per Heritage Foundation

[Cannonpointer]

The majority of nations which made Heritage's list have socialized health care, socialized retirement and socialized higher education - the stuff that heritage and the contards who worship there call socialism.

It seems that socialist countries are more economically free than capitalist ones - who knew?

Oh, wait - I did.

So do we..... Medicare, Medicaid, VA, Social Security, public schools, subsidized state colleges, student loans..... Does that make us socialist, RETARD?

Not at all, kid. Those are merely the welfare state programs that accompany capitalism in every instance where capitalism is found. The welfare state is the flotsam and jetsom of a capitalist economy - one of the many facets of capitalism.

But you girls INSIST that socialized medicine, socialized higher education, proper regulation of corporations - that these make European nations "socialist." Google the words "hoist" and "petard," ignoramus.

Unlike what you have been gooning all over the board, SOCIALISM is state ownership of the means of production. Here, let me help you with this book called the "dictionary:"

socialism
 
Use Socialism in a sentence

so·cial·ism
[soh-shuh-liz-uh m]

1, noun a theory or system of social organization that advocates the vesting of the ownership and controlof the means of production and distribution, of capital,land, etc, in the community as a whole.

Just try to be with it, son: the dictionary says that socialism is state owvership of the means of production - which makes you and Heritage liars about Singapore being capitalist. We don't go to Heritage for definitions, Devry. We go to the dictionary.

Sp. reprinting my proof that you're a liar is a victory? All I can say is, well played, gump - well played. You're a VICTORIOUS refuted moron. Good on ya.

Singapore is not socialist. Seek counseling/therapy is you can't get over it

I get a kick out of idiots like Cannon that obviously don't know a socialist or capitalist economic system is.
Amazing.

It's whatever he says it is just like marriage, abortions etc.

Ignoring the actual definition of Socialism; which is either government ownership or effective control by government of the private sector.

That's roughly the opposite of Heritage's ranking.

The psycho also ignores the significant if not massive changes in these countries. Canada, for example, slashed government spending by half relative to GDP and has stated its intent to reform their health care system by Free Market Principles.

Sweden faced economic collapse from the weight of its welfare state roughly 20 years ago and has moved strongly toward Free Market reform ever since.

To cite just two examples.

Are they totally reformed? No, of course not, but ranking high on Heritage's index puts them near the top of the freest, least Socialist countries on Earth.

The ranking is relative, moonbat.

But you girls INSIST that.....proper regulation of corporations

Since when is "proper regulation" thousands of pages if not tens of thousands of pages that micro manage a corporation's behavior, as Obamacare and Dodd-Frank do?

It's not my fault. I missed the meeting where you morons decided that state ownership of the means of production isn't socialism.

Hey, great job at ignoring everything in my last post, moonbat.

[Cannonpointer]

Like in Singapore? Roger.

That's roughly the opposite of Heritage's ranking.

I posted their ranking, stupid. The number two country has a government that owns 30% of the means of production. Before Heritage told you to think otherwise, that was known as "socialism."

Wow. Canada did that? Link? Lol - crazy old clem and his made up stats. And "has announced its intention?" LMFAO. Link, dummy?

But here's the hilarity:

"roughly" 20 years ago - moved STRONGLY "toward: free market reform ever since. How much longer before they get all the way over to it, Art LinkLater?

And now, the piece de resistance:

To cite just two examples.

This pathetic hack believes a rhetorical question and a statement of fiath "Freedumb equals NOT soshulizm" = "examples!"

Since retard ronnie and his successors gutting regulations led to a predictable melt down, you **** idiot.

[golfboy]

Since retard ronnie and his successors gutting regulations led to a predictable melt down, you **** idiot.

What a **** moron.
I love the idiot liberals who think Reagan and/or Bush gutted regulations.

What do the following words mean, moonbat?

The ranking is relative.

Do you have the slightest comprehension of what that means? Obviously not.

Wow. Canada did that? Link? Lol - crazy old clem and his made up stats. And "has announced its intention?" LMFAO. Link, dummy?

I have cited many sources showing that Canada did just that. Typical of a moonbat to be totally ignorant of key historical facts, then bleat in ignorance and demand a source. I had a thread filled with sources showing this.

Go do your own homework, psycho. If I cite a source, you'll just lie and rant anyway.

But here's the hilarity:

"roughly" 20 years ago - moved STRONGLY "toward: free market reform ever since. How much longer before they get all the way over to it, Art LinkLater?

WTF does that mean, moonbat?

That you're again ignorant of important historical facts?

Since retard ronnie and his successors gutting regulations led to a predictable melt down, you **** idiot.

The necessary deregulation passed under Carter by Dems in the dead of night, moonbat, made necessary by Carter's high inflation. And it doubled the amount insured by the federal government for multiple accounts.

So once again you're stupidly blame Reagan for liberal incompetence.

"Retard Ronnie?" Yes, you truly are psychotic.

[Cannonpointer]

What a **** moron.
I love the idiot liberals who think Reagan and/or Bush gutted regulations.

So Reagan lied to the public? He promised to deregulate, and he lied?

Okay, thanks. I guess I have to credit Clinton with deregulating telecom and paving the way for cell phones. That was one of the things I thought Reagan got right, but thanjks to a **** liar, I am now under the impression that Reagan lied when he promised massive deregulation.

You heard it from gooey first, folks - ron reagan was a lying POS.

Thanks, gooey.

[Cannonpointer]

What do the following words mean, moonbat?

The ranking is relative.

I get it. Relative to it capitalist competitors, socialist Singapore enjoys greater economic freedom - according to Heritage.

Do you have the slightest comprehension of what that means? Obviously not.

Talking to yourself, lady?

I have cited many sources showing that Canada did just that. Typical of a moonbat to be totally ignorant of key historical facts, then bleat in ignorance and demand a source. I had a thread filled with sources showing this.

Ah, the old, "I sourced it in another thread. on another day, on another forum." I had forgotten that dodge, Glory Hole. Thanks for reminding me of your M.O.

Go do your own homework, psycho. If I cite a source, you'll just lie and rant anyway.

Sourcing YOUR claims is MY homework? LMAO - welcome back, clemtard!

The necessary deregulation passed under Carter by Dems in the dead of night, moonbat, made necessary by Carter's high inflation. And it doubled the amount insured by the federal government for multiple accounts.

Yes, Gooey already told me that Reagan was a liar, and never actually kept his promise to deregulate government. I take your word that Reagan lied - thanks for that admission.

So once again you're stupidly blame Reagan for liberal incompetence.

Now, retard ronnie was a lump on a log and a do-nothing. I take you word for that.

Show is whether there were more, or fewer regulations when Reagan left office, than when he started.
Oh wait, you can't because you don't know.

Lying piece of ****.

[RichClem]

So Reagan lied to the public? He promised to deregulate, and he lied?

He didn't deregulate the banking system in any way that led to the S&L crisis or any other crisis.

Dems did under Carter and beyond.

That's the point, but of course a dishonest psychotic like you will bleat about anything and everything else.

[Cannonpointer]

Fastest queer to post wins - hurry, gooey! Hurry, Glory Hole!

[RichClem]

Now, retard ronnie was a lump on a log and a do-nothing. I take you word for that.

Exactly why you've been accurately labeled a troll and a liar.
