Do you mean the unemployed, underemployed, and underpaid? Perhaps if capitalism didn’t create so many such people, they wouldn’t be such an important voting bloc.

ok. but no.

@EatTheRich
Now see how the left is thefty. What you describe, especially in a burgeoning economy that ETR denies, is plainly put about theft. And not the Robin Hood kind where the taxes were stolen to be returned to the taxed but where the taxes were raised to give to the untaxed. Plainly state sponsored theft.

Were the redistributions of wealth that made capitalism possible “thefts” as well? Let me guess ... “that’s different!”

 

[PhilFish]

Socialism?

get a job, get a better job, get a better job

 

[EatTheRich]

get a job, get a better job, get a better job

The whole point is the unavailability of enough “better jobs” for everyone to have one, and the fact that large-scale unemployment, underemployment, and low wages are essential to the continued viability of the capitalist system.

well, it's in the effort..

 

[EatTheRich]

well, it's in the effort..

“Effort” doesn’t always put food on the table ... especially if not directed toward political redress of the oligopoly set up to allow private profit at public expense.

The democrat strategy - for quite awhile- has been to expand entitlements and dependency.

The absurd concept is that big business is always evil, and big government always benign.

Yeah.

But it doesn't mean one can't seek work, better work or to better oneself

wtf?

 

[EatTheRich]

sure it does.

The hell it does. How many starving people are busting their asses just to stay alive one more day?

“Work makes you free” is the cynical lie of those who do everything they can to ensure maximum work (for their own benefit) for minimum reward by the masses.

 

[EatTheRich]

wtf?

Were the redistributions of wealth that made capitalism possible “thefts” too? For example, when enclosure turned land that had been common pasture and forage land for centuries into the private property of wealthy (usually ennobled) individuals, was that theft?

Every pseudo err fake-socialist needs a wealthy white villain. No socialist can survive without one or more.

Capitalism doesn't redistribute...Only fake socialist redistribute.

 

[Drumcollie]

Yeah.

For now.
