Barbella

Senator
Maybe she is mailing it to Venezuela
Yea that’s probably it. And the company she founded in 2012... the one that still owes $18,000+ in taxes... the debt she’s apparently just blithely ignoring... she’s probably sending that too. Somewhere.

I’m assuming she’s not accepting her $175,000 salary? Because... wouldn’t that be capitalism.. like, you know, she works for PROFIT?
Capitalism does not mean earning money for a service you provide. The hypocrisy here is in her acting as part of the political leadership of a capitalist country.

Doesn't it?

Socialist societies also have private property, wage labor, and a price system. They reflect the capitalist conditions that have given birth to them and have not yet been overcome.

Huh? What? You'll have to explain that one in depth and lucidity. Thanks.

In socialist societies, the state plays the role that private industry plays in capitalist societies. It negotiates a compensation level for those it employs based on which they exchange their labor for material rewards.

Ahhhhhh.... I see. You believe in slavery, the almighty government, and the benevolence of your 'betters'.

Good for you. I don't.

What's the matter with you? You keep bringing that into conversations about whatever, as if you expected me to cringe in embarrassment for having made that statement? Sorry, bud....

I stand by that. Arbeit macht frei is absolutely true, correct, and something I believe in, 100%. You? Apparently not so much, huh?
