[QUOTE="Proximity, post: 7925333, member: 589997"] You realize it's possible to have neither 100% capitalism nor 100% socialism, right? You realize that our economy is currently a mix between capitalism and socialism, right? This is why it's impossible to actually have a productive discussion with most conservatives, because instead of them living in the real world and basing their arguments off of it, they just fabricate a reality where every liberal just wants sure socialism and a complete destruction capitalism. Yes, socialism is bad. Pure socialism. By that same token, so is capitalism. PURE capitalism. Can you understand the different between socialism, capitalism and a mixed economy? Yes, because being taxed 50% of $1,000,000 is just so much worse than only being taxed 10% on $50,000 income. Rich people have it so hard. Like MisterDeadeye said, you're basing your arguments on factless emotion. Argue with facts. Taxes on the rich are much less than when our economy was booming and the middle class was stronger.
