[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I had an Uber driver the other day who relatively recently moved here from Venezuela. I asked what brought him here and he said “socialism.” Said the price controls are all illusory bc you have to pay bribes for everything. Sounded bad. [/quote]

Venezuela is on the verge of collapse which is what happens when you have actual socialism

[b]Many Ds are perscribing the scandanavian approach [/b]of a much more robust safety net through higher progressives taxes but a mostly capitalistic economy

The problem is Scandinavian countries are small and homogeneous and people are generally more ashamed of being moochers.  The lower class of the United States would overwhelm any type of robust safety net which would cause taxes to shoot up on the actual productive members of society [/quote]

How many of those people could name a single Scandinavian head of state? This Scandinavia stuff is empty branding for whatever mix of policies the Dems happen to prefer[/quote]

And, here are some things that lots of Scandinavians do not have:
dishwashers
garbage disposals
cars
disposable income
air conditioning

Not sure I want to give up those things, although I sure would like more disposable income......[/quote]
