Millionaires On Unemployment

The Swedish model would be great. Quality of life there is great.

By the way, the corporate tax there is lower than the States'. Last I checked it was 26.3%.

Oh, you'll LOVE the 25% VAT (aka MOMS).

You'd enjoy Systembolaget. They restrict the amount of alcohol you can purchase, because, you know, they know what's good for you better than do you.

Because you know I have a penchant for alcohol?....

You have an interesting outlook: You seem to view what government system is best based on how it benefits you the most. Ironic, given your desire for everyone to share. I guess as long as others are sharing more than you, you think it's cool.

In contrast, I want everyone to have opportunity. However, I don't think giving people things is the way to go; they should earn them. Regardless of whether you drink or not, would you like to live in a country where the amount of booze you can purchase for your own consumption is limited? Personally, I prefer freedom.

Personally, I prefer freedom.

yes the freedom of america, where you can legally have your door kicked in with no explanation to you our your family, be hauled out with a bag over your head and detained and tortured indefinitely with no charges or reason given, where the government can spy on your phone calls and read your emails...but feel free to drink all the poison you want!

You don't think that happens in Sweden?

i could give two fucks about sweden, just funny what your take on "freedom" is

Why do you think I supported the Patriot Act? Ah...because you can't conceive of anyone but a cardboard cutout.

Golly, if only I could think with the depth and levels of gradation and complexity as you. One day, with enough work, I may come close. In the meantime, I'll keep reaching for that rainbow!

 

[3RA1N1AC]

good luck with that, in the meantime, you can go buy 100 cases of schnapps and drink them all at once! freedom!

I'm more a fan of Jefferson's, Sowell's and Churchill's thoughts on the subject.

I like Heinlein's quote:

"The democracy will cease to exist when the people realize they can vote themselves tea and circuses."

 

[barfo]

I'm more a fan of George Orwell and Kris Kristofferson's thoughts:

Freedom is slavery.

Freedom's just another word for nothing left to lose.

"To be matter-of-fact about the world is to blunder into fantasy - and dull fantasy at that, as the real world is strange and wonderful."

Robert A. Heinlein

I like Heinlein's quote:

"The democracy will cease to exist when the people realize they can vote themselves tea and circuses."

Hmm, seems to me that Ben Franklin said something very close to that as well.

 

[3RA1N1AC]

democracy is 2 wolves and a sheep deciding what to have for dinner

i also like this one from franklin

"he who gives up liberty to obtain safety deserves neither."

The Swedish model would be great.

When did you live in or visit Sweden?

Quality of life there is great.

Compared to yours, perhaps. You carry boxes all day. It would be a step down for many.

Obvious douche is obvious.

Perhaps, an even bigger step down to portray yourself as a Stanford grad to a bunch of strangers on the internet, when you're really not.

Your insufferable prick routine never gets old, though.

As soon as you found out I work for UPS you've loved trying to make fun of me for that? Is it the fact that union sap can make more than a guy with a fake Stanford degree?

i dont get the disdain for blue collar workers coming from some neocons, although it seems to be working for romney so swimmingly!

Alienating seniors, blue collar workers, women, gays and hispanics. Seems the recipe for a loss. Well, atleast they got that religious vote!

Obvious douche is obvious.

It's cute when you two little guys try to stick up for each other.

Just merely calling a spade a spade, douche.

That's sad.



That's like taking a picture in front of a car you can't afford and then posting it on Facebook like it's yours.

Balla!

I'm glad you realize this.

 

[blazerboy30]

It's funny... after all your bragging about making bank, making more than others here, and how amazing you claim your union is, I was so curious and had to check.

Average compensation including salary and bonus of $60k? Damn, you ARE a balla!!

That takes into account air drivers.

Average UPS driver makes $80,000 in my center.

I can't believe your still jocking my nuts though you silly, sad, sack of shit. Your obsession with my career and personal life is amusing. You'd think a "Stanford grad" would be out there saving lives, or something. A Stanford reject more like it, its the only explanation of why you're so bitter.
