Izzy would rather have a private water company just like they had in Flint, MI. What's a few extra neurotoxins each day when you have a melon like Izzy's?

He wants what they tell him he wants.

Don't explain it. It's funny watching these guys think they know what they're talking about...

Avoiding giving an answer to the actual question I see, what's that problem?

You don't know?
It's funded just like your union.

I don’t get it. That was neither a joke nor an insult so what was it?
Ya know, I can’t imagine why you’re not more successful...

Your first sentence has always been right.

 

[Bruddah IZ]

Is that esoteric macro nonsense that is indecipherable supposed to make you look like you know what you’re talking about?
Like I said in another post, no wonder you’re so successful...Ignatius J. Reilly.

Your Fries U education in ALL its glory. What a deal!

 

[Bruddah IZ]

You show you have no idea what I am referring to, like always. It's just a basic concept, yet it flies right over your head. I can tell some of the nutters in here act ignorant by choice, for you it's not a choice.

You show you have no idea what youʻre talking about.

 

[Bruddah IZ]

Izzy, you are the Socialist. The Military is the purest application of Socialism there is.

The Venezuelan military? Please go on.

[Bruddah IZ]

How is it funded you idiot?

By involuntary taxation.

That is so scary!!! Wait isn't that how the Military is? And police and fire departments? Parks? City streets? court systems?..etc...etc. Joey, are you against all these things? Why do you support cutting taxes for the super rich which leads to defunding all of these programs which greatly benefit all members of our society? In the military a senior general makes 10x what a Private earns. In the private sector CEO's at major companies earn 300X more than a cleaner at their office. Which is a better system for society as a whole?

Capitalism.

As I have said here before, capitalism is failing because of the requirement to go to war to expand markets. In lieu of that, Trump has decided that if you take restraints off of corporate America, so they can exploit the environment at no cost and not provide health care or union protection (the NLRB has been a savior to organized labor over the years)so labor is cheaper, we can grow the economy without expanding to foreign markets. He even tries to invent “coal” as a viable option to plunder, when it isn’t any more. These are short term fixes, of course.

Here's some Socialism I don't agree with:
Trump’s farmer bailout just hit $7.7 billion

As the Trump administration continues trade talks with China, the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) has paid out a total of $7.7 billion in aid to farmers to offset the effects of tariffs.

And the GOP is totally against socialism? But not to millionaire farmers who contribute a ton to their reelection apparently. Why not practice free trade and outright capitalism and forgo government interference?
