You are Big oil

Wow, it's really easy to push your buttons.

If by "push my buttons" you mean participate in an on line forum and respond to your posts, then yeah sure. If by "push my buttons" you mean make me angry or whatever, then no, sorry, I drop deuces every morning that bother me more than anything anyone could post on a discussion board. :thumbsup:

By the definition you posted, the government would have to take over all private companies to count as socialism.

Wrong. That's YOUR definition, so long as you define socialism in that way you can assure yourself that you don't support a socialist.
any of various economic and political theories advocating collective or governmental ownership and administration of the means of production and distribution of goods

By the definition you seem to think it means,

Gotta love it when someone tells you what YOU think! Doesn't work on me buddy, I am not a liberal, can't tell me what to think, nice try!

any form of taxation to fund government programs counts as socialism. Try and resolve this disparity, ok?

Again, disparity resolved, I never said that "any form of taxation to fund government programs counts as socialism," you just implied that I said that to make yourself sound better I guess?
I did say, TAKING MONEY FROM COMPANIES IN ADDITION TO THE TAXES THAT THEY ALREADY PAY BECAUSE YOU FEEL THEY ALREADY "MAKE ENOUGH MONEY", AND REDISTRIBUTING IT IS A FORM OF SOCIALISM! I don't care if you call it a "windfall profits tax" or not.

Technically, Bush is borrowing money from the Federal Reserve to give people an "Economic Stimulus Package."

Yeah, I recall reading that once before and asking you for a source. I guess the source is you, just repeating it over and over again huh? Let me ask you this, do you realize that the money people received, they PAID into the fed already?

But since the people who will pay that loan back probably aren't born yet and don't have a say in the matter, I guess you're right. He's not borrowing from them, he's stealing from them.

Again, the government paid us back, they borrowed the money from us, it's called the federal income tax. It wasn't their money, it was yours and mine to begin with. Hello, (knock knock knock) McFly?

The $1000 that Bong30 is talking about is a repeal of the payroll tax. I assumed that you knew that. My mistake. It's not a government handout, it's a tax rebate..

Really? I really thought that I had heard him say point blank that he would use the "windfall profits tax, aka, theft of private companies money" to give Americans the $1000. I am willing to believe you on this if again you could provide a source other than you.

That being said, sounds like a really nice thing he wants to do for little ol' us, since he wants to double the capitol gains tax, (source, Barak Obama in the democratic primary debates) which is currently @ I believe 15%ish and where he would like it to be @ I believe 28%ish. Nice guy! Hope you don't own any stock! That $1000 will come in real handy I guess come tax time.:thumbsup:


[quote=khronik]WTF does that even mean? I don't suppose it has anything to do with invading other countries on false pretenses?[/quote]

Perfect! Don't forget Bush lied people died, the government blew up the levies in N.O., the 911 conspiracy, and oh yeah, global warming!
Thanks for the real life example of incoherent!
