Back in the 20s? You mean before we went to the moon, sent robots to mars, split the atom, found a way to see inside subatomic particles, looked back towards the beginning of the universe, and created the internet?

s0nicfan posted...Socialist programs don't generate revenue. They consume revenue. "And the revenue they used to fund these industries are socialist programs." Maybe English is like your third or fourth language, but the words you actually typed state that the revenue itself is from socialist programs. That's literally how you structured your sentence. Maybe you meant to say something like "and the revenue they used went towards funding socialist programs", but that's not what you typed, and I'm not going to take shade from someone who can't structure basic sentences. And IF that's what you actually meant to say, my previous point still stands, which is that capitalism provided the money to allow things like NASA to exist, so you still need capitalism to make those programs happen, and companies like SpaceX are proving those programs don't have to be government run at all. --- "History Is Much Like An Endless Waltz.
