Since 1967, government spending on social programs has increased by 10x, while the poverty rate has not budged. This includes Obamacare, which has resulted in increased health care premiums and decreased coverage. I just attended a talk by a Navy officer who was stationed in Soviet Russia in 1975, at which point just over half of their country had running water. Government simply does not work.

And you have the temerity to claim that people who don't support this miserable economic system, which has failed everywhere it has been tried, which has gaping theoretical flaws, which has always resulted in huge inequality, have a lack of empathy? There is nothing eminently moral about demanding other people pay for your food, housing, education, or health care. You are a freeloader, you stupid fuck.

Leftist mentality dictates rationalism, education, and peace. There's a reason why people tend to become more liberal as they become more educated.

Leftist mentality disregards empiricism in favor of mah feels. It's peace minded to the fault that it ignores enemies.

People become indoctrinated in leftist rhetoric in education systems. If you think those education systems are left-wing because of rationalism, you're ignoring history.

Inflation has a part to play in that graph doesnt it?

[Raev]

No, it's in 2014 dollars. In the mean time the average median income in those same 2014 dollars increased by 20% (if you use the Fed's bogus inflation data) or 0% (if you use inflation data that includes things like food, fuel, and housing). In fact, the graph doesn't show it, but poverty in the US was declining rapidly all the way back from WWII. The Leftists' War on Poverty *actually halted an existing trend*.

So there is a reason Pokesan shut up.

It seems like the West generally is bad at balancing their books in the last 30 years or so...why might that be? [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

So you got destroyed on the facts (again) and the best you can do is a few weak ad hominems.

Looks like you need more practice posting.
