What is privilege?

But why did that happen? Because the global economy collapsed thanks to tax cuts and deregulation, and never recovered. So Greece, whose economy relies heavily on tourism, saw revenues drop because of the economic collapse, had to borrow to cover its deficits, but couldn't generate the revenue (again, through mostly tourism which took a hit during the Great Recession) and had to borrow more. The second borrowing were at markedly higher interest rates, which just dug Greece's hole even deeper. That remedy is not borne of socialism...if it was, then the EU would have simply bailed out Greece...the remedy is borne of capitalism, namely that Greece borrows from the ECB instead.

Germany has just as robust a welfare state as Greece, yet you call Greece "socialist" but not Germany.

That's weird.

1. I didn't call you a name. I said you were lazy. I've shown remarkable restraint with you here. I've coddled you with my responses. I've been treating you much better and way differently than I would normally treat someone I observe to be acting in bad faith.

2. You called Greece a failure of socialism, yet the CIA world factbook you used to prove Germany wasn't socialist doesn't call Greece socialist either. So by calling Greece "socialist failure" or whatever, would be you embellishing, wouldn't it?

Thanks for your interest and mulitple false accusations. Why do you think you are different from Truth Detector and the other RWNJs? You're all both sides of the same coin IMO. Why do you think you are not like them?

I bet you oppose Cancel Culture.

Dude, you're read a lot of shit into my posts. Another word for that is "projection". If that's your sole answer, fine.

See, this is gaslighting too because you got caught trying to be manipulative and embellish on an anonymous comment thread. You got over your skis, ended up providing a source that contradicted your entire argument (while supporting mine), and when called on it you literally ignore it and pretend you never said it.

So when you are called on it, you immediately retreat to "hey don't take this so seriously" or "stop getting upset". Yet, you're the one who got yourself to that point because you painted yourself into a rhetorical corner.

So...you're establishing that neither Greece or Germany are socialist, so if we want to emulate their policies here, we're not socialists either, you're lying/exaggerating/embellishing when you say we are, and most importantly, that what we are asking for is quite reasonable!

That's all thanks to you providing the source that said Greece wasn't socialist, even though you tried to blame Greece's failures on socialism and not on the capitalist economy that tanked thanks to deregulation and tax cuts (both which I bet you also support, yeah?).

In your world, does "gaslighting" mean "disagreeing in a calm adult manner"?

What's embarrassing are people like you that claim you care about others not having certain things then refusing to provide them what YOU say they need. Without fail, those like you and LV that claim to care for others care enough to see how much you can have someone else forced to pay.

What's also embarrassing is your cartoon. When we elect a President using overall popular vote, let me know. Since it is determined by electoral votes, I suggest you get a better understanding of how the system works before running your left wing dick sucker and making yourself look foolish.

Like I said, embarrassing.

Are you 11? 12? How's junior high? Is remote learning tough?

There's nothing embarrassing about expecting YOU, when YOU support something to fund it.

If the people that need something aren't willing to fund it and bleeding hearts like you that claim to care for them refuse to fund it for them personally, let them do without regardless of the results.

You have no more idea of what he or I pay in taxes than you do what the president pays, you stupid piece of shit.

Sure I do. Anyone that supports someone else paying more while excluding themselves from doing so isn't paying any.

It's the same with knowing that bleeding hearts like you that claim to care for others yet refuse to personally do for them don't really care. If you did, YOU'd provide what YOU believe they need and quit expecting others to pay more in taxes to do so.

Then YOU fund the $30B in increased defense spending that the GOP is throwing into a COVID relief bill, fucknuts. Where the fuck is that money coming from? Or do you only bitch about spending when it is money that goes to poor people, healthcare, and education?

You're a reprehensible piece of shit.

I GUARANTEE I pay more in taxes in one month than you do in a year. You're probably collecting Medicare and SS that I ​pay for, while paying zero in taxes. Freeloading pussy.

GUARANTEES involve being able to prove what you claim, boy. What I have seen is you make a claim. What I haven't seen is you provide any proof. I can GUARANTEE you aren't man enough to post your tax returns on this open forum.

BTW, this isn't about paying taxes but personally funding what you personally claim someone should have.

Now, shut the fuck up and get back to shining shoes like a good little boy.

Defense spending is a specifically delegated spending in the Constitution. Only a left wing piece of shit doesn't know the difference.

When are all the freeloaders that want free food, free healthcare, free education, and lots of other free things going to learn it isn't free nor is it anyone else's responsible to provide them what they refuse to provide themselves.

I'm still waiting on you to prove YOUR guarantee about the taxes you pay. I haven't seen your returns yet.

Can you show me the terms education, food stamps, healthcare, and a slew of other things you lefties have no problem taxing to fund?
 
lmao, you don't care if the PRESIDENT shows his taxes while he actually has control over tax policy, yet you demand that accountability from a fucking message board commenter?

Is there no bottom here? When Trump suspends congress, shreds the constitution, and refuses to leave on January 20th even after he loses by 100 electoral votes, what will be your justification for supporting that? You've always held a deep-seated desire to become Russia? Or will you "but obama" us and mention the tan suit, beer summit, or "you can keep your doctor" line? Is all that worth shredding democracy?

I don't recall Donald Trump making the same claim to me that you did.

I didn't think you could or would have the guts to back up YOUR claim. Just another talker. You've been dismissed for failure to be a man.
