I have a problem with people who act as though they're above the law because they have money

@Foxhound are... have... have you been reading Marx?

but like I said before, EVERY government/economic system has people who end up above the law because of either their wealth, or their power in govermnet

No. I haven't.

Marx is an idiot.

Idk man, you're talkin' like quite the dirty commie xD

Just to be clear, I'm being funny

"I'm sorry but I have a problem with a system that places money over human lives"
I haven't seen any evidence to believe that socialism thinks any differently. History CERTAINLY hasn't shown that to be the case either.

I mean. When people that are studying to work on life saving medicine have to chose between eating or having heat. Somethings wrong

" I have a problem with a system that relies on putting children in dangerous conditions for pennies a day."
You know we have child labor laws, right?

>Inferring I'm a socialist

perhaps you should just lay your cards on the table so I can actually respond then

You know we import a ridiculous number of goods from countries that don't, right?

@CatLoverKid >you know we have child labor laws, right?

And WHOMST was responsible for that?

He warned us

^

^x2

My dude do you genuinely believe that I support COMPLETE AND TOTAL Capitalism? What we have right now is a pretty good system

sans maybe some inability to curb monopoly

@CatLoverKid dude, I literally have to join the military just to get out of debt and go to college

You call that a good system?

Also

Idk if you saw it before, but I'm over 100k in debt

and I'm really enjoying that decision right now

because tomorrow I start a job that will pay it off

@CatLoverKid you shouldn't have had to have gone into that kind of debt just to get a good paying job

That's absurd

what why? I'm not entitled to a job. Nobody is entitled to give me one lol

I also didn't NEED to work where I do now. I could have shot lower

Lmfao "Pretty good system"

While dozens of veterans are homeless in the streets.
While dozens of people can't afford food without relying on the state.
While dozens of people are choosing to die, rather than putting their families in debt to get life saving medication.
While people studying to be nurses and doctors can't afford to do anything because they are carrying tremendous debt.
While people suffering from mental disorders are treated like animals.

"Good system"

No, perhaps not, but you're entitled to fair working conditions and the ability to live comfortably without the looming threat of being in debt for the rest of your life potentially

but I WANT the money, so I took risk

I disagree that you:
1) need to go into debt to dodge those things
2) should be impervious from risk in order to pursue wealth

@Foxhound this is why I consider you my friend, because even though we are clearly on opposite sides of the political spectrum, it's amazing how much we agree on and I just genuinely enjoy both talking to you and the irony of a "commie" being friends with a fascist xD

You shouldn't need to go into debt to pay for schooling in life saving fields.

Idk you, but if i get cancer, i really dont want to sell my house to pay for the treatment

Sorry but my aunt who is now 47 is still paying student debt while she actively saves lives and is threatened with losing her house.

now THAT'S an interesting thought... I think I'm gonna need to think about the debt for life-saving fields thing

Sir Moseley would be proud.
