Just Say No To Socialism



All this talk about Socialism. Well not in this Country. Why not “just say no” to Socialism? Start today. We can make most taxes a thing of the past.

The government needs to stop using tax dollars to build and maintain roads. From now on we’ll pay a toll for the roads we use and no others. Why should you have to pay for a road you’ve never driven? Why replace or repair a bridge until it has fallen in? You won’t have to drive over it, and you won’t be able to unless you pay a toll.

Be sure and give yourself more time going to and from work. Switching from Washington Blvd. to 20th St. to 3rd Ave. to 10th St. will require stops at multiple tollbooths. It could be a little pricey also. The people who don’t drive these roads won’t have to pay a penny. That is unless landowners start to charge tolls on sidewalks. There will be no public transportation because that’s government funded also. So if you ride PT to work you’ll have to find another way. If your employees ride PT to work you may have to find other employees.

Hey, my kids are grown, why should I have to pay for someone else’s schooling? Why should I pay for someone else’s kid to ride a bus? I say no more publicly funded schools. That’s right. People with no children, children that are grown, and people that don’t even live where you live shouldn’t have to educate your kids. You can send them to the school of your choice…at a price. I think you’ll be shocked by that price. Those who can’t afford to send their kids to school can send them off to work. Preferably someplace where little skill and much danger is involved. There will be no OSHA. It worked in our Great Great Grandparents’ day. Shoot, someone could write an Oliver Twist type story about your kids. With no Child Protective Services you are free do with your kids what you want. Lock them in a closet until they are old enough not to be a problem. Not only is CPS Socialism; it’s an intrusion on your civil liberties. Ask a libertarian.

College? No more college funding, no more government sponsored student loans. Land Grant Universities and their research and help for the field of agriculture are gone. Forget about that cancer cure, heart replacement, or Down Syndrome breakthrough. Who needs higher education? That’s something only Europe needs. Them with their fancy Democratic Socialism. So when Johnny can’t read and he turns to crime you can just call the police.

Oops, no, only people who pay for police and fire protection can be free from Socialism. Police and firemen can now charge on a per-call basis. You may have to wait for your credit check to clear before you receive assistance, but hopefully your house won’t burn that fast and the masked intruder will leave without hurting you. But in case he does hurt you, don’t call an ambulance. Do you know what that will cost? Of course if you have the money, your personal police will be your own law. This will definitely be to your advantage; unless someone else has a larger or more powerful police squad than you do.



Don’t drink the water. No Public Water Service and no EPA. You and the corporations will be able to dump whatever you want into the water table and air. Cool! Fish with three eyes. Wildlife whether to hunt, fish, or just watch. Gone. Hunting and fishing licenses make up a very small part of what is spent on preserving and enhancing our wildlife populations and preserving habitat anyway, right? If everybody doesn’t use it, its existence means Socialism.

Of course labor unions will be a thing of the past. Socialism and unions are naturally interwoven. Marx himself would have been nothing if it were not for the Labor Movement. Outlaw it, today! Now if you’re a salary worker you may be laughing, but with no union to gauge your wages by your wages will go down. Why pay you so much for your hard work anyway? There is always someone who will do your job for less money. Don’t kid yourself. You are replaceable, perhaps by a child. Once you’ve lost your job, don’t expect unemployment insurance. That’s one of those terrible programs that have gotten us into this Socialism mess in the first place. If you do find a job, remember there is no OSHA. You better not get hurt. Don’t come crying to Worker’s Comp. We’re having none of that Socialistic garbage.

At least you’ll get good healthcare. The US boasts a spot at 37 in the WHO’s ranking of healthcare systems. While trailing France (#1), Canada (#30), the Scandinavian nations, and Saudi Arabia (#26), along with a number of nations many people may never have heard of; at least we have a narrow lead over Cuba (#39). Around 18,000 of us are projected to die this year due to lack of health insurance and there is a 4-1 ratio of healthcare lobbyists to US Congresspeople. But why should we let the government stick its nose into our healthcare system? Just another form of Socialism. If we resort to this, we may end up with a healthcare system just like the inefficient ones you might find in places like France, Canada, or Norway. We better say no to Socialism and let everyone work it out for themselves, free of government intervention.

So, maybe you survive with no Worker’s Comp., no insurance (because you can’t afford that with all these new expenses and without unions your employer certainly doesn’t feel compelled to provide it), and no Medicare or Medicaid (more Socialism). You’ll need another job. Don’t look for a small business. There will be no Small Business Administration. Nobody is going to be approved for loan money on a risky new business (75% failure rate) in these rough credit times.

Hope you didn’t lose too much of your 401K in the last, “The Free Market will work it out,” fiasco. Don’t plan on Social Security in your Golden Years. Not only did the government “borrow” from what you had, they could have put it back in with the “surplus”, but remember you wanted a tax rebate? Now we are getting rid of this demon of Marxism. You are now free to “privatize” your own funds. Let the Free Market take care of them like they did your 401K.

We are also getting rid of farm subsidies and subsidies for corporations. The downside is that milk, corn, soy, and numerous products’ prices will go up. You have a garden don’t you? A cow? A pig? You’ll have to learn on your own. Remember, no Land Grant Universities, so no John Marrow. At least you’ve still got your electricity. Although for many of you in the area, electrical lines wouldn’t even come near your house if it weren’t for that dreadful Socialist group—the Rural Electrification Administration—that brought them there in 1935.

I’m sure there are many other Socialistic programs I’m missing but you get the point. These are all needless programs that “share the wealth”, like some kind of Christian doctrine. You know, “feed the hungry, clothe the naked, heal the sick”? Socialism is the bane of American society and has to be stopped.

So the “one-percenters” don’t send their sons and daughters to Iraq. So they have accountants to find loopholes in the tax system that allows them to pay far less than what their stated percentage is. They earned it. They got an education. You didn’t.

Most of these programs have been around for 70 years or more. They were set in motion by the likes of Lincoln and FDR. For the life of me I can’t understand why the” Greatest Generation” was so liberal as to vote for a Socialist four times. Nor do I understand why we’ve kept these programs running for so long. After all, I thought it was common knowledge that a Socialist is just a kissin’ cousin to a Commie. Let’s just let the market work it out. Just Say No To Socialism.

While I realize the author is being facetious, you should reply with: "Jeez, I thought we were already there to hear Obama talk."

Then follow up with the arguments about the cost of "open borders, crime rates in gun control areas, the damage to Wildlife Conservation with no hunting, private healthcare, school vouchers, and the need to be energy independent."

I would also point out that the members of both parties have been perpetuating the national shortcomings...

I know you will never change his mind or attitude and he is a pest that it seems management is unwilling to confront.

It's obvious that ignoring him will not work...

i respect his views.. we go at each other all the time at work.. its just in fun but we sure do get heated over it sometimes..

As long as you can consider it a joke, enjoy.
Save them however in case they get just plane annoying. And they sound like they already have. When this happens take several of them to management and tell them how you feel about being a victim of harassement. If they still won't do anything about it see if you can find something that will irrate him as much as he is irrating you and start sending it very frequently.
Or maybe just start forwarding his junk to everyone in management that won't do anything about it.
 
its not like that... we all go back and forth on the politics.. we are all very sensible when it comes to pushing buttons. we respect each other views and leave it at that.. other then email fighting we dont even mention it to each other while working.. and we work side by side in the lab.

we are very cool with it.. i just get to laughing at how far out there some of their claims are. and wonder where they get these ideas from sometimes... a few of the guys i work with think that socialism is the greatest thing that could happen to this country and it just blows my mind.

Just Say No To Socialism

java responses in red...

First, your friend did not define Socialism. This was a trick on his part, but he'll need to try harder. Let's just this definition, it seems as good as any:

"Socialism refers to a broad set of economic theories of social organization advocating state or collective ownership and administration of the means of production and distribution of goods, and the creation of an egalitarian society".


All this talk about Socialism. Well not in this Country. Why not “just say no” to Socialism? Start today. We can make most taxes a thing of the past. Another trick. The existence of taxes alone does not constitute Socialism. Read the definition. Even our Founders acknowledged the need for government to obtain operating funds, so right off the bat his premise if highly flawed.

The government needs to stop using tax dollars to build and maintain roads. From now on we’ll pay a toll for the roads we use and no others. Why should you have to pay for a road you’ve never driven? Why replace or repair a bridge until it has fallen in? You won’t have to drive over it, and you won’t be able to unless you pay a toll. Why is it the Liberals always mention the road first thing when they defend high taxation? Perhaps because most use them? In fact, roads are financed primarily through fuel taxes and additional fees paid by commercial trucking companies. Many 'public' roads already charge tolls. So, in reality, it is already the users who pay for them AND they allow for wealth creation by all citizens. I notice he didn't start off with publicly funded abortions or Costa Rican rum subsidies.

Be sure and give yourself more time going to and from work. Switching from Washington Blvd. to 20th St. to 3rd Ave. to 10th St. will require stops at multiple tollbooths. It could be a little pricey also. The people who don’t drive these roads won’t have to pay a penny. That is unless landowners start to charge tolls on sidewalks. There will be no public transportation because that’s government funded also. So if you ride PT to work you’ll have to find another way. If your employees ride PT to work you may have to find other employees.

Hey, my kids are grown, why should I have to pay for someone else’s schooling? Why should I pay for someone else’s kid to ride a bus? I say no more publicly funded schools. That’s right. People with no children, children that are grown, and people that don’t even live where you live shouldn’t have to educate your kids. You can send them to the school of your choice…at a price. I think you’ll be shocked by that price. Those who can’t afford to send their kids to school can send them off to work. Preferably someplace where little skill and much danger is involved. There will be no OSHA. It worked in our Great Great Grandparents’ day. Shoot, someone could write an Oliver Twist type story about your kids. With no Child Protective Services you are free do with your kids what you want. Lock them in a closet until they are old enough not to be a problem. Not only is CPS Socialism; it’s an intrusion on your civil liberties. Ask a libertarian. In fact, government run schools have failed and should NOT be funded and operated by government workers. They have proven a disaster and only those who like to profit from them and who like to see kids brainwashed with the Liberal agenda seem very excited about them. People should have a big tax break or voucher to send their kids to good schoools of their choosing, not ineffective government-run ones where the kids are brainwashed to the Leftist POV and don't learn math and English.

College? No more college funding, no more government sponsored student loans. Land Grant Universities and their research and help for the field of agriculture are gone. Forget about that cancer cure, heart replacement, or Down Syndrome breakthrough. Who needs higher education? That’s something only Europe needs. Them with their fancy Democratic Socialism. So when Johnny can’t read and he turns to crime you can just call the police. Public funding of college tuitions has removed market pressures from universities. Grades are inflated and learning has reduced to shocking levels. Tenured professors are almost always Marxists, paid by us! Remove government funding of college tuitions and watch tuitions drop like bricks.

Oops, no, only people who pay for police and fire protection can be free from Socialism. Police and firemen can now charge on a per-call basis. You may have to wait for your credit check to clear before you receive assistance, but hopefully your house won’t burn that fast and the masked intruder will leave without hurting you. But in case he does hurt you, don’t call an ambulance. Do you know what that will cost? Of course if you have the money, your personal police will be your own law. This will definitely be to your advantage; unless someone else has a larger or more powerful police squad than you do. This is why he didn't define Socialism--operating a police force has nothing to do with the government 'ownership and administration of the means of production and distribution of goods, and the creation of an egalitarian society.' Protecting citizens' personal safety is a BASIC function of government, ie why we have one at all.



Don’t drink the water. No Public Water Service and no EPA. You and the corporations will be able to dump whatever you want into the water table and air. Cool! Fish with three eyes. Wildlife whether to hunt, fish, or just watch. Gone. Hunting and fishing licenses make up a very small part of what is spent on preserving and enhancing our wildlife populations and preserving habitat anyway, right? If everybody doesn’t use it, its existence means Socialism. Again, this is why he didn't use a definition. Here he, again, mischaracterized socialism. In fact, many have private individual and private group water supplies. The EPA has nothing to do with this and it is, in fact, a horrible agency which does little good. BTW, regulating pollution is a public safety function and, again, falls in no way under the Socialism definition, lol!

Of course labor unions will be a thing of the past. Socialism and unions are naturally interwoven. Marx himself would have been nothing if it were not for the Labor Movement. Outlaw it, today! Now if you’re a salary worker you may be laughing, but with no union to gauge your wages by your wages will go down. Why pay you so much for your hard work anyway? There is always someone who will do your job for less money. Don’t kid yourself. You are replaceable, perhaps by a child. Once you’ve lost your job, don’t expect unemployment insurance. That’s one of those terrible programs that have gotten us into this Socialism mess in the first place. If you do find a job, remember there is no OSHA. You better not get hurt. Don’t come crying to Worker’s Comp. We’re having none of that Socialistic garbage. OK, fine with me. Right to work states seems to do just fine, thanks. Unionized government workers, like the teachers union, the NEA, are always meddling in Leftist social issues like gay marriage, for example, that have nothing to do with their membership. Again, get rid of 'em, fine with me. As to Unemployment and Worker's Comp, there is so much waste, fraud and abuse that I'd be happy to see 'em go.

At least you’ll get good healthcare. The US boasts a spot at 37 in the WHO’s ranking of healthcare systems. While trailing France (#1), Canada (#30), the Scandinavian nations, and Saudi Arabia (#26), along with a number of nations many people may never have heard of; at least we have a narrow lead over Cuba (#39). Around 18,000 of us are projected to die this year due to lack of health insurance and there is a 4-1 ratio of healthcare lobbyists to US Congresspeople. But why should we let the government stick its nose into our healthcare system? Just another form of Socialism. If we resort to this, we may end up with a healthcare system just like the inefficient ones you might find in places like France, Canada, or Norway. We better say no to Socialism and let everyone work it out for themselves, free of government intervention. Yeah, and whose studies decide this fact? Our health system looks bad because it is so good it keeps people alive for much longer which skews the statistics. for example, we have great life-saving technology for infants. In many of these other countries infants would just be born dead but here we can save them. Not all make it, sadly, and so it looks like we have 'high infant mortality' yet we've given some life to children that would have elsewhere been stillborn. There is a reason people from these socialized medicine countries come here for their procedures--our free market stimulates all the great medical advances, thanks very much. We also don't pick here who lives and who dies, the way they do in these other countries.

So, maybe you survive with no Worker’s Comp., no insurance (because you can’t afford that with all these new expenses and without unions your employer certainly doesn’t feel compelled to provide it), and no Medicare or Medicaid (more Socialism). You’ll need another job. Don’t look for a small business. There will be no Small Business Administration. Nobody is going to be approved for loan money on a risky new business (75% failure rate) in these rough credit times. THIS IS FUNNY!!! Only a clueless liberal would thing small businesses exist because of the SBA, lol! i founded a small business which I owned for ~13 years. It did over $3.5 million in annual sales and I never had word ONE with the silly SBA! Please, spare me. This guy things everything comes from the government. He isn't a man, he's a mouse, lol!

Hope you didn’t lose too much of your 401K in the last, “The Free Market will work it out,” fiasco. Don’t plan on Social Security in your Golden Years. Not only did the government “borrow” from what you had, they could have put it back in with the “surplus”, but remember you wanted a tax rebate? Now we are getting rid of this demon of Marxism. You are now free to “privatize” your own funds. Let the Free Market take care of them like they did your 401K. Social Security is a failed, government run pension system. It IS socialistic and, not surprisingly, has FAILED, lol! Socialistic devices, like Freddis and Fannie, and the government, caused this, NOT the free market. That's just an out and out lie, lol!

We are also getting rid of farm subsidies and subsidies for corporations. The downside is that milk, corn, soy, and numerous products’ prices will go up. You have a garden don’t you? A cow? A pig? You’ll have to learn on your own. Remember, no Land Grant Universities, so no John Marrow. At least you’ve still got your electricity. Although for many of you in the area, electrical lines wouldn’t even come near your house if it weren't’t for that dreadful Socialist group—the Rural Electrification Administration—that brought them there in 1935. Not true, getting rid of ag subsidies is a good idea. Yeah, rural electrification WAS achieved ~75 years ago, but, being government programs, those agencies STILL exist, do nothing, and suck our taxes, lol! Bad example for the informed, dude!

I’m sure there are many other Socialistic programs I’m missing but you get the point. These are all needless programs that “share the wealth”, like some kind of Christian doctrine. You know, “feed the hungry, clothe the naked, heal the sick”? Socialism is the bane of American society and has to be stopped. Creating a dependant class of people who sponge off their neighbors isn't a good thing. government handouts do not address their bad behavior, they just dole out other people's money. American are highly compassionate people and as such they give more than socialistic countries even in the face of the high taxes the Democrats have created for us. Private charities are MUCH better suited to actually "helping" the sick, poor, etc. All your government handout programs do is pay 14 year old fatherless girls to get pregnant. Christian values come from the HEART, BTW, not at the barrel of the IRS gun. Welfare is the opposite of compassionate, it enslaves people and keeps them from striving for excellence.

So the “one-percenters” don’t send their sons and daughters to Iraq. So they have accountants to find loopholes in the tax system that allows them to pay far less than what their stated percentage is. They earned it. They got an education. You didn’t. Um...this isn't 1968. We have a volunteer military. You get that, right?

Most of these programs have been around for 70 years or more. They were set in motion by the likes of Lincoln and FDR. For the life of me I can’t understand why the” Greatest Generation” was so liberal as to vote for a Socialist four times. Nor do I understand why we’ve kept these programs running for so long. After all, I thought it was common knowledge that a Socialist is just a kissin’ cousin to a Commie. Let’s just let the market work it out. Just Say No To Socialism. Lincoln, what?! And FDR was a disaster who prolonged the Great Depression and is, along with LBJ, the reason behind most of what is wrong with our country today. We'd have been much, much better off without him.

This guy is ALL WET!

 
java..very good points..... i think he is going to put this in a newspaper bc he has been working on it i guess for a few weeks.. not sure where but im sure he'll tell us about it. i think he's waiting to see who wins the election first though...
