Socialism only guarantees equality of misery. Period.

If Trump decided to ditch the Republican party, and run independent, or Libertarian, he would give the movement a larger footprint on the political map. Right now, the Republican party is filled with Leftists

Denmark is a nation of less than 6 million people. The United States is 53 times bigger. Secondly, Bernie has made his platform one that attacks "millionaires and billionaires", yet when he answers

Your basic premise is that the recipient class is not complaining. That seems to be the issue thinking people have - it's the takers that are fine with socialism. When you become part of the 'donor' class

Ahh, you touched on the magic element in our (former) healthcare system - that is isn't socialized and run by the government. That is the very thing that drives innovation. Those are the innovations that

See my post above. The reason the cuts are temporary is because Democrats are politicizing the process. If only a few Democrats voted with the Republicans, the cuts would have been permanent. It really

The notion that people will be paying more when the tax cuts sunset, is completely false. When (if) the Trump tax cuts expire, rates will return to where they are now. That is not an increase, it's a return

I re-read my post. Where is the part where I assumed health care costs more in other countries? However, that said, your post raises 2 questions: 1. would you be willing to pay more, for a better product?

You're failing to see the other side of the economic ledger in those other countries. Those 'other' countries don't spend nearly the amount on their defense as the U.S. Let those other countries fund their

A question to the socialists among us. Why is it that the rise of a middle class, really only took root after the founding of America, and the advent of capitalism? Prior to the last 242 years, communism,

I would like to see someone cite evidence that 'supply side' economics doesn't work. Everyone seems to forget the fact that it's the wealthy, and corporations that create jobs. Giving them a break to the

Do you run up your credit cards, then claim financial success? The only reason debt would drive growth is if our entire monetary system were based on debt... Oh wait... There is a reason the framers called
