    You name a few and call that all? LOL!

    And I don't know if they support anyone as a corporation.

    Incorrect. Settlers trading with native Americans is an example of capitalism at its purest. Two parties, free of government interference, who engage in commerce.

    I once traded a lawn mower for some work around my house. That is capitalism.

    Google, Facebook, Apple, etc., etc., etc., all support the Democratic Party. But you keep living in that delusion that big business supports the GOP over the DNC.

    Which typically thrive when government outlaws, overregulates or overtaxes something.

    People renting their homes to others is an example of capitalism. Government dictating that such people cannot evict tenants for lack of payment is an example of fascism.

    I think we have to much socialism in the wrong areas and in the wrong ways

    And I think socialism can largely be obsolete with enough charity.

    Sure, but I'm not using that as much as I am the more generally accepted idea.

    What most people are referring to when they say "socialism" is actually a capitalist economic system along with high taxes and lots of social programs, aka the "welfare" state.

    Sure, whatever lol. i dont care about the word salad. Fact is, idiots have come to the conclusion that capitalism is the enemy and that socialism is the savior...its actually the "cool" thing to do, to crap on capitalism. Fact is, capitalism is actually great and with charity and social programs in the right amounts in the right places is even better.

    Best way to view it is as a continuum. With capitalism at one end, communism at the other and socialism being anything in between. It’s impossible for a country to reach 100% capitalism or 100% communism.

    However for an economy to function at its best, its needs to be as close to the capitalist side as possible.

    Yeah is that why they want to text people to drive by the mile? Are you under the impression that only the wealthy drive?

    Socialism is not a vow of poverty.

    I would think even the most authoritarian of socialists would still want people to be able to each own a house. Not many houses tho...

    Evidently, Joe thinks gas taxes are not enough. Another campaign promise that was hot air.

    gas taxes are not enough when everyone is driving electric cars, this is a review of how to address that future

    if they choose to use the new tax method of miles driven, then the gas tax should be ended - or the new tax only apply to electric vehicles

    I see nothing wrong with that

    The funniest thing about this is the claim that the guy is, or was ever, a socialist.

    He's a marketing ace though ... I'll give him that!

    That's weird. We're constantly told that Lefties care very much about the people.
