Political discussions about everything

We all have seen how well Native American reservations are doing. Visit the housing areas on any of those reservations and you'll think you've driven into a third world country. They receive billions in tax money, pay no taxes and receive billions from the casino's they run. EVERYTHING from their food to their housing is subsidized and handed to them, as a result 95% of them end up dying young, poor and uneducated.

Wow, both johnforbes AND RealTool stopped in to bitch slap themselves.

I dare johnforbes to explain what makes a casino "capitalist". He won't because he doesn't know. He's making it up.

I already defined the terms "capitalist" and "socialist" and explained how the Mohegan Casino is socialist since it is owned and run by the (Tribal) government. But RealTool is illiterate in English and johnforbes is simply too stupid and poorly educated to understand.

Go ahead, johnny, tell us what makes a casino "capitalist", you coward. *LOL*

Clown really thinks a Casino is socialist when actually is all about making money, which makes it capitalist. It doesn't matter who runs it, it's ALL about making money.

ESL classes, Tool, ESL classes.

Your ignorance of the English language is appalling. Look it up, fer cripes sake. Just crack a book or use google and find out exactly how ignorant you are about capitalism and what it is and isn't. It's so simple even you can do it all by yourself.

Aren't you one of those conservatards always insisting immigrants should learn to speak English?

"Nobody ever claimed that reservations were capitalist endeavors...you just made that up."-elklindo
"I agree, no sane person would say that. However, His Lordship did."-johnfibs

How do you face yourself in the morning knowing you are a lying sack of shit, johnny?

Your lie is the EXACT OPPOSITE of what I actually said. I said repeatedly that the reservations were socialist endeavors, not capitalist. You said that the Mohegan Casino is a capitalist endeavor when it isn't. Then you repeated your lie after I proved you wrong.

Notice johnforbes is completely incapable of telling us what makes a casino a "capitalist endeavor" because he doesn't have the foggiest idea what "capitalist" or "socialist" mean.

To johnfibs and RealTool, "capitalism" is just anything that makes money. That's how stupid and ignorant they are.

Clown -" I said repeatedly that the reservations were socialist endeavors"
Exactly, drive through the residence of any reservation and you'll see first hand what socialism does to a society. Despite billions in hand outs they are in the worse health, least educated and highest poverty level in America. Hell their to lazy now to even fish or hunt and unemployment is over 80%...why? Because from the day they are born, everything is taken care of for them so many spend all day getting high or drunk, just like blacks in the inner cities.

Thanks for stopping in to back me up and bitch slap johnforbes again, Tool.

He shouldn't be allowed to lie without everyone calling him on his dishonesty.

Now, if sillydummy would stop in to slap johnny around a bit, maybe johnny will get them message that lies are not tolerated here.
#117102
Tool, you confuse johnny's slinking silently away with johnforbes owning someone.

The fact is, I own HIM because he is too much of a weasel to admit when he's wrong. He can't tell us what makes a casino a capitalist endeavor, same as you.

And I clearly own you as well because you are too stupid to learn English, so you step in it every time you open your mouth.
Like you didn't understand you were bitch slapping johnny for me when you started this thread.

Way to go, dimwit.

As with most of the suckers who gamble, johnforbes loses again.

He can ONLY gamble that casinos are capitalistic because he hasn't got a shred of authoritative economic or academic sources to back him up in his ignorance.

This is not the case for me, however. I don't need to gamble on the issue because I already gave authoritative evidence to prove I am right. The only explanation for johnforbes shooting the moon on this is that he either can't read or he can't comprehend. Either way, he's a typical ignorant conservative.

But I would happily give johnforbes odds is he honestly still wants to gamble on his losing point.

Socialist companies can be run for profit as well, obviously.

Or they can be non-profit, just as capitalist companies may.

Casinos can be socialist endeavors, and be "charitable works" at the same time, as with the Mohegan Sun.

johnforbes confuses "charitable works" with socialism but not capitalism. All he needs to do is look at a capitalist company like Newman's Own to see that capitalist companies can also be "charitable works."

What johnforbes needs to do is open an actual economics text and read the definitions of capitalism and socialism. But he won't because he prefers the arrogance of his delusional prejudices to facts and reality. Ignorance is the chosen state of mind for all conservatives. johnforbes is our proof of that statement.

But johnny, you're one of those clowns who subscribe to the Chicago School of failed trickle down economics. What do you want with Samuelson?

Regardless, all you need to do is provide a quotation from Samuelson that defines socialism for us.

But you won't because you actually agree with me (as does Samuelson) but you're just too big a pussy to admit it.
#117196
There are aspects of trickle down which are indisputably correct.

E.g., if I buy a yacht, then I de facto have to employ and pay those who fuel it, service it, drive it, etc.

There are also some aspects of trickle up which work.

E.g., when Clown receives his welfare check, he employs the clerk of the convenience store where he buys beer and cigs.
#117199
^^^^^^ And once again johnforbes can't provide any authoritative source to support his assertions. This is because he doesn't actually understand Samuelson in the first place. johnforbes just learned to drop names in conversations to try to impress other dimwits who don't understand what they are talking about either.

johnny doesn't know what to do when someone calls him on his glaring ignorance. His entire phony world falls apart and he's left intellectually helpless, with only a poorly developed sense of humor to use as his desperate soft shoe act for everyone listening.

Shuffle off to Buffalo, johnny. Maybe they'll fall for your tired, discredited song and dance.
