I am positive you would be equally sympathetic to a Holocaust survivor if they compared the nationalism and xenophobia of the Nazis to modern Republicans. You're using a Holocaust survivor as a political tool. This holocaust survivor gives specific examples of the things Nazi Germany did. Go ahead and deny them. Why would I deny them? You're just so far up Republican ass that you're essentially trivializing Nazi Germany. It is so fucking disingenuous to imply Nazi Germany's biggest problem was being left-wing and claiming to be for the people and to suggest all government control is inherently left-wing. Are you not a subscriber to horseshoe theory, where two extremes wind up looking very similar? Is anarchy inherently right-wing in your lizard brain? Are Muslim nations actually extreme left-wing since religion is the government and controls everything? When was NATO founded? Again, you would not be so sympathetic of foreigners if they compared Trump and Republicans to shit that happened in other countries, so forgive me for not being quick to side with your analysis of anything. --- http://card.psnprofiles.com/1/NIR_Hockey.png http://www.last.fm/user/hockeybub89/ <cite>hockeybub89 posted [p:882683485] in Socialism ...

Sowell used the word earned, but focusing on that is missing the actual message. The point is that the money belongs to someone, but someone else wants to take it. Somehow the former is considered the bad guy for wanting to be left alone and the latter is considered the morally righteous one even though he is threatening to use force to get the money. Personally, I can agree that keeping all your money can be considered greedy. But then what do you call the person who wants to take away what you have without your permission? Envious? Entitled?

Paul McCartney once took his accountant to court, accusing him of embezzling. The defense attorney said "No, Paul just doesn't know how much money he has." and to assist with his argument, the lawyer tallied up the running time of every single music CD he ever purchased in a store (He'd frequently show up and say "I want one of everything.") and found out that the total running length of music he had exceeded a human lifetime. It's not even that they don't need the money, it's that they literally cannot even use the money unless it is deliberately spent on inefficiency and wasteful excess like gold-flake covered ice cream while other folks have lukewarm gumbo from a homeless shelter as the highlight of their day.
