Socialism is great until you start running out of other people's money to spend.


You will never run out of other people's money. Things and programs offered by the socialists like Bernie Sanders are FREE!!!!
Free college
Free healthcare
Free
Free
Free!!!!


Free doesn't cost people anything. (sic)


That's the fifth grade version of Sanders' campaign. No, not even fifth grade, because my third grader understands what Bernie is proposing. Which is not that things are free, but spending priorities are changed. Spending less in one area lets you spend more in another. That, plus get rid of corporate welfare.

Laugh. Norway is a petrostate, with massive oil revenues and a tiny, homogenous population. We can't duplicate that. You want a place with 25% higher GDP than the US than we can emulate? Try Singapore. Zero natural resources, was at latin america GDP levels 50 years ago, ethically mixed population. They rank 2nd in economic freedom behind similar success story Hong Kong, government spending as a % of GDP less than half that of the US.

Have you noticed some of the incomes in Saudi Arabia? Funny what massive oil reserves can do to personal income in places like Saudi. Or Norway.

This is misleading. The col is much much higher. The cost of both real estate and automobiles are insane. Living in London is cheap compared to Oslo

Oslo is not all of Norway any more than New York and San Francisco are the US.

This is random. Have you been oppressed by socialism your whole life, OP? Do you feel like it's affecting you here in the US?

Happy day! Common sense is breaking out all over and triumphing over the evils of socialism and Marxism.

Maduro's "Bolivarian" Marxists were trounced after literally destroying the economy of Venezuela.

Murderous and corrupt DeKirchner threw a tantrum and refused to even attend her opponent's inauguration in Argentina.

The French realize that socialists won't protect them from ISIS or the quiet invasion of economic migrants seeking handouts.

Moderate parties in Holland and Germany are attracting many defectors from leftist/socialist parties.

And here in the U.S., everyone knows Sanders doesn't stand a chance (sad though that anyone would support him at all).

Bye socialists! Can't say I'll miss you!
