Not sure why they keep saying ‘Socialist.’ His ideas are straight up Communism.

I’ve always called a socialist democrat a communist and have been corrected. I believe the distinction to be a fine line by definition, while believing socialism leads to communism. It’s such a fine line (ownership) New Yorkers won’t know what hit ‘em till it’s too late.

Easy distinction.

Socialism is when a very few rich people who aren’t in the ruling party still have a nickel. Everyone else has less.

Communism is when you look up at the people with less in envy.

Once you control the food…..

Since when did mayor become such a powerful office? $billions will be spent on a job that pays $250k.

I wouldn't mind government ran stores for people needing food assistance. These grocery stores would have basics and not ribeye's or lobster. These folks could be issues a card that only works in the government run grocery stores.  This would limit what they could purchase.....Plus beans, rice and ground meat don't have a huge resale value...

I agreed with your first sentence. Then you devolved into describing a “have vs.have not” social order. Then you had to stick the “crooked poor people” tag with the comment “…don’t have a high resale value”.  Sounds kind of like a segregationist back in the Jim Crow days.

Nothing wrong with what he said, you simply live in the pathetic world of reading “woe is me” into every thing that is said, especially if it comes from someone that won’t openly declare hatred for Trump.

We could use more Hippys in the world and less victims like you.

We do live in a have versus have not society....we can never all be equal. I was not the smartest guy in my class. I've worked hard and provided my Son everything he could want. I think everyone can do the same with effort. I TRULY believe everyone is equal, it's the decisions that are made that make the difference.  I may have been able to be as rich as Elon Musk, but when I went to Lamar, I decided to party, have fun, drink beer at the Setzer center (that's how old I am) - and date as many women as humanly possible......and I successfully completed those goals and have some great memories. Sadly, graduating college was not something that was important to me back then, and I had to work hard to over come that. 

I didn't want anyone paying for my bad decisions and I don't want to pay for someone else's bad decisions.
