do you think social media will destroy capitalism now?

Ok, then let's look at Canada. Their health care system is often pointed to as to why we should have a socialist-style health cares system. However, the reality is that it should be pointed to as an example of why NOT to go that direction, whether it be a socialist style health care system, education, housing, etc.

Written by William Watson, a Canadian conservative who spends a few articles complaining about liberals. Sounds like someone without an agenda.

The Ugly Truth About Canadian Health Care

First he wrote a book with a very laughable title:
Gratzer's most recent book, with Foreword by Milton Friedman, is The Cure: How Capitalism Can Save American Health Care (Encounter Books, October 2006).

Second, the majority of his other articles are rants against Obama and Obamacare. This guy certainly doesn't have an agenda...bet he could make lots more money than he's making now if Canada's healthcare system was for-profit like ours is though.

Rich Canadians do have the option to pay more for their own health care, just like in the U.S., in fact, they can even go to the U.S. for it if they wish, so not sure what this guy is ranting about other than that he doesn't want to pay taxes.

Even bigger and better than all the opinion articles to be found, however, is the fact that there are very few, if any, Canadians who seem eager to give up their healthcare system for ours. In fact, the majority seem very grateful and consider it a blessing compared to our capitalistic for-profit model.

That's not to say that Canada's system is perfect or that it couldn't be improved, but at least all of their citizens have basic health care regardless of life circumstances. We don't in the U.S.

Does anyone really think that "capitialism" is alive and well and good in the USA ? Or if it is, that it is proper motivation(self-serving/ to make money while others lose their livelihood and their homes) for those seeking God's Kingdom ?

why do you think that?

Even the so-called "socialists" aren't trying to destroy capitalism. That's a myth of right-wing media.

The socialists will tax capitalism to death. They've already regulated many businesses to death.

Hi P4A,

I'm surprised at the responses that we somehow need to hear from Trump supporters for capitalism to survive. How did we do it for the past 200 years?

I'm not sure that we could destroy capitalism with our government established as it is. In order for the U.S. political system to destroy capitalism, then there would have to be a lot of laws made and enforced to stop or severely interfere with free trade in the country. I honestly don't see that happening, but I'm sure someone has been able to gerrymander some thread of thinking that without Trump we won't be able to sustain capitalism. It's an odd world out there.

You know what 'they' say: You can fool all the people some of the time and some of the people all the time, but you cannot fool all the people all the time.
God bless,
In Christ, ted

You can fool most of the people most of the time (actually most people have already fooled themselves).

If elected they will be the government.

 

[yeshuaslavejeff]

If elected they will be the government.

If not elected, the government will still tax people.

 

[OldWiseGuy]

If not elected, the government will still tax people.

Not as much as the socialists would.

 

[yeshuaslavejeff]

Not as much as the socialists would. We just elected a very liberal mayor. She immediately proposed a $40 "wheel tax" on all vehicles to pay for her proposed social programs.

You hope.

Maybe false hope.

Socialists, or whatever, are not the ones controlling things like taxes.

Like the others, they do what they are told to do. (or are required to do)

The point is that if enough socialists are elected taxes will go up dramatically.

I deleted the "wheel tax" comment as it was inaccurate. It was passed by the city council to reconcile a budget shortfall of $11million.

And if someone else gets elected, if they are told/ required to raise taxes dramatically, they will too.

"Told" by whom? I'm puzzled.

To be seen./ revealed.

"Socialist" is apparently another name for "boogey-man" in some circles, as in, "Oh no, the socialist will get you if we have good roads, infrastructure, and health care!"

This is America, not Russia. Socialism won't work here (it actually doesn't even work in Russia).

Everything seems to be going "Capitalism's" way at the present. The corporate billionaires run the Democratic Party, they they have enough money to play at being sensitive to "climate change" while flying their private rockets out into space for joy rides, and they go by their own private planes in order to make speeches and attend conferences on global warming.

Who is NOT prospering is everyone else, including most of those who are
involved in free enterprise ventures.
