We need to abolish ALL Socialism in the USA!
Let’s start with the DOT! We’ll…
- Cease to collect federal highway taxes and return to the days of private Turnpikes and subscription local roads – and no standards to meet, of course
- Cease to collect airlines taxes and exise taxes to fund airports, allowing the airlines to fund their own airport maintenance and expan… um-m-m-m-m… what WILL they be able to do? That pesky governmental Eminent Domain thing isn’t there to help them any more. Certainly no NEW airports, unless the airlines come up with the cash for that LAST piece of land.
- Cease to fund railro… Oh, wait… we already DID that. How’s that been workin’ out for us?
- Cease to fund municipal mass transit efforts… which will have great impact everywhere, except, of course, for the Detroit Metropolitan Area, where the Auto Companies have destroyed every effort to create any effective non-automobile-based transportation system
Next, we’ll move to Fire and Police. We’ll
- Cease to fund Municipal Departments and return to Subscription funding of Police and Fire Departments
- Watch our homes burn because our neighbor lost his job and couldn’t keep up the subscription.
And we surely don’t need the Department of Health and Human Services (or the CDC or FDA). They do nothing but hold up the process of getting drugs into the market, and (according to the Moonbat Right), infect us with disease under the guise of vaccinations.
While we’re at it, let’s dump the EPA. What good could a National approach to environmental policy POSSIBLY do us? I could tell yiou, but you don’t deserve to know.
And nobody needs a Department of Energy. There’s never been any indication that a coherent policy on energy development or transmission might be of value. Er-r-r-r… is it just me, or did it suddenly get dark in here?
Certainly the Department of Education can be done without. Look at their most recent effort… they tried to sneak the President of the United States into our nation’s CLASSROOMS – can you IMAGINE?
Lessee, now… what have we forgotten? *drumming fingers – staring off into space* Wait… I know! The military – we forgot the MILITARY! PURE socialism. We’re all forced to pay for two kinds of ground forces, two navies and an air force (plus the air arms of all the other forces), whether we want to or not. They are the employer of last resort, and they’re used to bribe Congress by building war machinery in their districts to give THEIR constituents jobs.
We are forced to send our children to die in deserts and swamps, no matter our opinion of the exercise, and to add insult to injury by being forced to pay for it ourselves with our taxes. And not only is the concept the epitome of Socialism, the military itself is pure Fascism. I know – I was there. Yep, if we’re gonna nip this Socialism thing in th’ bud, we surely need to add in, mebbe even start with…, th’ MILITARY!
Folks, States Rights arguments, or ANY "smaller unit of gov't" arguments, do NOT negate ANY of this.

R.F. By the way who is exposing this anti-government propaganda. Oh big multi-national corporations who want to control us. You don't need wars you just indenture the working class & small businesses and never let them off the hook! Brain washing isn't just done by big governments! It can also be done by big companies just as well! Advertising! If some-one told them that their kids couldn't use the public bus to take their kids to their private schools, because it is only for the public schools, they would be up at arms, because they were paying for those buses with their taxes and should be able to use it too, there was a time, but at the same moment they are against allowing small businesses and individuals to use Medicare which is a Public/Private program to insure their workers. Last time I looked we all pay SSI and Medicare premiums out of our paychecks, pay a little more and be able to use it. But it is socialism, by who standards? Big multi-national insurance corporations! 30% margins, not repeat not 3.3% Based on 25 years of records by the folks who had to pay it our FEDERAL Government (CSPAN). You know half of Europe does have private provider insurance and everyone is insured, but the companies only make 6% just like the folks in Las Vegas. 6% of a very large number is a very large number! Good health care! But a competitive pool with a public option, not just one company playing shell games! Divide and conquer! They are playing this game one more time and some folks need to look hard and ask themselves? Am I for a United States of America?"I PLEDGE ALLEGIANCE TO OUR FLAG (OLD GLORY and not to some old southern great, great, grandson’s wished to be Confederate Flag!) OF THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA! to the REPUBLIC (People governed without a King) FOR WHICH IT(OLD GLORY) STANDS. ONE NATION UNDER GOD, INDIVISABLE (IS NOT DIVID AND CONQUER into little states WILL NEVER BE !!!!!) WITH LIBERTY AND JUST FOR ALL!!!!!! We fought one very bloody Civil War to keep UNITED and I will continue to remind some folks who have forgot their sacrifice, Gettysburg for one!
Some folks need to have paid attention in class.
Sorry about the preachy, but those who forget history pay for historys' lesson over and over. Have a nice day
You're right J. ALL the socialism has got to go. No more water works, no more sewer systems. SOCIALISM!!! All of it. If I want clean water, I'll clean it myself or hire someone else to clean it. If I want to treat my sewage, I'll treat it. If I don't, to hell with my neighbors. They can treat it if they like. But they'll have to get my permission. I live on my land and I'll do whatever I want to with it. Anyone looking for a place to dump toxic waste? I'm tired of all you sniveling socialists and your COMMONLY owned roads. Buy your own damn road or buy the property you need and build your own. It's absolutely bizarre that I should have to help you worthless lazy welfare collecting socialist leeches. Space program? Why was the government EVER involved in this? Are we now going to accept illegal space aliens into this country?! Worse, are we building these space ships to actually give them a free trip to the USA so they can steal our money and send it back to Ort?
Don't forget Chuck, we must do away with education as well.
I never said aerosols MADE ozone... I said , "...aerosols AND ozone..." The NOx and SOx from fossil fuels make ozone at the lower level of the atmosphere (where we live), and ozone does a LOT worse than make you think you have dry-eye (which I didn't). This is MY field, Colonel... pick another fight.
He can charge huge bucks for that rare knowledge and skill.
"Oh, Chuck! You know ozone is harmless; just ask anyone who lives on Venus. "
One of the best parts of Venus is there are no Democrats.
Let's eliminate federal jurisdiction over forest fire control. "Hey, the fire's in your state, that's your problem." That's like the guy in the leaking rowboat who won't help his budy bail, because the leak is in the other guy's end of the boat.
Bottom line, there IS a role for the federal government when it is for the common good. Like health care, for instance.
You'd LIKE it to be bull, I think.
No sarcasm in this one.
Chuck, typical liberal scare stuff. Crisis-crisis-crisis- more government intrusion the only answer. Highways should be sold to private industry- let them maintain the roads- let them pay the salaries and pensions- not the tax payer-remove tolls great for reducing warming, Chuck, no more idle engines polluting and killing us.
It is better named the Department of Uneducation at the cost of TRILLIONS!.
Single Payer education- Single payer Obamacare- Single payer dept. of motor vehicles- Single payer IRS- God help us!
Yep. And by far the majority of children had NO schooling when that was true. Dammit, micky... if you're gonna lip in, at least try to make SOME sense.
Thought?! What the hell are you talking about? Some kind of Socialist plan to get us all to think about the same thing? Socialist Mind Control, huh?
If I wanted to think about the same thing someone else wanted me to think about, God would make me think about it. So don't go spouting your crazy communist agenda to me.
I don't know of anyone claiming a government health care plan is unconstitutional. Any plan to do so must be set up in a reasonably efficient manner and not interfere with private insurance nor dictate manditory enrollment. (that's my take on the idea anyway) That's why the public option is so important.
Haven't been reading the Linda A., Sandy & John, Marilyn M. comments in my posts, have you? Stick around. They'll be along soon.
There has been health care bills submitted in nearly every session since 1934 and all failed but this one is getting so much publicity that when a good one comes along people will reject it out of hand.
"Some states have only a monoply to choose from" I don't get that
That threatened to happen this time, too. Smaller sound banks would have been pulled down by the collapse of the entire system.
And we are now finding out that some of those banks we thought were fine, now aren't. Bad loans are still coming in. Banks that were fine a year ago might need bailed out, before this is all over, to keep them going for the future.
Even without "socialism" business works within an interrelated society. Without socialism that is unsustainable. Get over your pure capitalist fantasy.
We need those old regulations back. Local banks are mostly in good shape. It's the interstate ones that are causing the problems.
It's great to be tough, Colonel. You and I are probably pretty much at the top of that group here on Gather. But tough doesn't have to mean cold.
We would not need to take prisoners for the sake of the people.
Let's see: No FDIC. No Homeland Security. No Coast Guard or National Guard to rescue boaters or flood victims. No DEA. No regulation on businesses. No 40-hour work week, paid vacations, or mandatory overtime. This is sounding better and better.
And Colonel, reducing government to localities doesn't mean they'd be any less governments; it also doesn' t mean that those who did the government would be any less corruptable.
Private patronage for the arts... like th' diMedici's did.
ha ha - then you just get church propaganda.
(highways and runways), for everything else.
No, Peter, no Amtrak for you... not yours.
Col, you need the see the bigger picture, and learn some history.
Or is MY sarcasm monitor mis-calibrated.
And let's bring back Swift's idea of letting the rich eat the poor's children!
