Quote:No "progressive" or anyone has suggested taking land away, but they have suggested taking assets away.  You don't seem to see the correlation of what happened in the past and what is proposed today.  To "nationalize" or take away the business of oil companies was in fact, a goal of one certain "progressive" congresswoman.  It came from her own mouth.  That's outright stealing through government over reach.  Think about how if something like that really happened, how much more the governement would grow and what it would do to the industry.

 

Then look at the disaster that is ObamaCare.  Poor people or "less wealthy" don't get their "free" healthcare, rather they have to pay more into the system and get less.  This affects the "middle class" even more.

 

Regarding the "singing about the President", do some research about what kids are/were taught in North Korean schools.  Can you say propaganda?  How many songs were sung when George Bush was President?

Propaganda? I think that's stretching it a bit but it's understandable to think that way when you already dislike the guy. It is however, the best case ever made for not allowing prayer in school and I didn't even have to say it myself. 

 

 

I think an argument could be made that natural resources belong to the country by extension of the citizens and ought not belong to private industry to exploit and be the single recipient of the profits from them. Now I don't know that I would agree with that, I just think it's a bad example to use. In addition you specifically used taking land as your example of progressive policies being equal to brutal North Korea. 

 

This idea that it's a disaster is very divisive because republicans say it is and democrats say it is not. Both have different points that are both true and false. I personally know several people that have benefited in immense ways due to the ACA and I have not been impacted in a negative way at all. I also know people who's premiums went up are lost their plans that they liked that I would term garbage. I'm fairly negative on it since it did nothing to reign in the insurance companies and that's something I feel they are the real issue with the medical system in general. 

 

I still would like to hear the explanation for the conspiracy theory of how limiting or removing money from politics is targeting the GOP's ability to win elections in a way that does not effect all parties.
