If you embrace socialism you should embrace both the social safety net as well as the high taxes

93. Dude, obviously you were napping

in English class where they discussed analogies and metaphors.

Denmark is being used as an example. An analogy if you will of what higher taxes and socialist support could look like.

But for christ's sake, no one including him is suggesting we do EXACTLY what they do in Denmark. We are much larger. We have a different foundational government system. We have a different economic setup from the start.

But we could raise taxes on the wealthiest 10% back to 1980's Reagan era levels and pay for one thing. We could implement the FT Tax and pay for one other thing. We could then repatriate Apple's and other corporations off shore tax holdings and pay for another. We could cut military spending by a measly 10% and have enough to strengthen food stamps for a decade.

Taxes used to be ok with Democratic progressives until the neoliberals took over. You and the OP are on the wrong fucking site with conservative libertarian "I don't want to pay for someone else's stuff" bullshit.

Go away!
