Субъект: Re: Socialism by its very nature creates more government than does capitalism.
(V): You can be very agrivating sometimes....
The debate has always been about socialism vs capitalism..... I say socialism by its nature creates bigger government, and that I think bigger government is worse than big corporations....
You tried to say that... well I am not exactly sure what your point was, something about socialism making the government smaller?
Your own links support the idea that LESS government is good for the economy... in other words, capitalism is better for economic growth than is socialism.
We both agree that no government would not be a good thing, so the courts and military and roads etc. are all legit functions for government. But after that is where we begin to split in opinion. You like more and more left up to the government, IE education and health care and who knows where you draw the line?
My point was that the more you rely on your government, IE the bigger your government gets, the smaller your economic growth compared to some country who has a smaller government
....and as to your point about the private sector taking my money IF I HAVE A CONTRACT WITH THEM, is absurd, nobody will ever force you to have a contract, and its not that I dont want to live without anyone taking my money... its just that I want to be able to make my own choice who I give it to, and NOT have it taken by my government to do with it what they think is the best way to spend it on somebody else
If you know where I can get this island.... I would take that route in a heart beat, you would never hear from me again!
