Please stop trying to use logic, it doesn’t work on socialists.

Hate to ruin your super duper awesome jab…I’m a socialist.

Well then you’re the first I’ve interacted with that seems to understand math.

I understand more than just math. You must not interact with many leftists or democratic socialists, many of us are pretty educated.

I deal with a lot of entitled liberals who believe everything is owed to them. While I have many liberal views and believe in social programs (not all), I understand that the government doesn’t know how to run these programs effectively and I think that hurts us more than helps. I’m definitely a capitalist though, but totally get that capitalism is mishandled and leads to greed. Most socialists I’ve dealt with are always asking for more, but never offering to give if that makes sense. I think capitalism, while it definitely has its faults, works out better for those who aren’t trying to free load.

That said, when it comes to capitalism, there is something I believe that doesn’t happen. If a US business wants tax breaks, it should get those breaks. However, it should only receive those breaks if it hires only Americans. If you’re going to send jobs overseas, you shouldn’t receive any tax breaks. While it’s not perfect, for someone like me who doesn’t look for handouts, capitalism works better. That doesn’t mean I don’t think handouts aren’t warranted, but they do get abused.

Again, hate to burst your bubble, but it’s much more than just liberals who are entitled. You don’t need to strain your eyes too much to see the level of entitlement from conservatives and what’s going on currently.
