A nation with a planned economy is good.
Everything is planned out.
The government I think should own all major corporations and companies.
While the small ones are government funded and supported.
No
not at all
Giving the government total control of the economy is a terrible idea and it never works
it has failed every single time
Not every time.
if you can name one time its succeeded I can name three times its fail
*failed
Dang good point there.
But if skilled people manage the economy.
The only time I can say the government having control of the economy worked is China
Yes.
And The PRC is a world industrial power, strongest military power, the giant of Asia.
It's also corrupt as hell and essentially a dystopia
But it has failed in so many other places
its a terrible system
and doesn't work
You can try and spin it all you want, but Communism fails. Socialism fails and will fail as well. Putting democratic in front of a word doesn't change it.
The only reason government control failed is because that people who cannot manage it were implaced.
Its not just that
The people become too dependent on the government
Capitalism works because the people have to work for what they want, and trade is voluntary.
Communism and socialism fail because it goes by a "You have what I want, so give it to me" stance.
and people just become dependent on the government.
Very true.
If you let socialists get elected, people will be lazy, the economy will fail.
That's why even though Bernie Sanders is supported by most millennials, he will never be elected because the majority of Americans see how bad Socialism is.
You want to raise the minimum wage? Everyone will stay at the bottom because they're happy about their earnings, you have to work your way up there, and taxing the rich is ridiculous, I'm not going to start from the bottom and go to the top just to get taxed, I'll just stay at the bottom with low taxes and a high minimum wage.
Raising the minimum wage will cause unemployment to spike up
when McDonalds was forced to increase it, they just hired robots
Everyone should want to become rich, so they have to work for that.
Minimum wage is no skill work. You have nothing skillful to offer, therefore you are working a basic job at a basic wage.
its completely fair
A guy who flips burgers at McDonalds should NOT be making as much as some college degree requiring jobs.
Also people like AOC and sanders are retarded for wanting to tax the rich a ridiculous amount. If you tax the rich too much they will just leave the country.
then you get nothing from them
And your economy will die, the rich need to stay rich for an economy to succeed.
