Everything they say that society should provide is already provided for us by God.
All we have to do is take advantage of it with the sweat of our brow.
Not the sweat from someone else's brow...

75. When you try to run the retail economy like the army supply system, it does
When I was in Germany (early sixties), the commissaries were constantly having shortages of catsup or other canned type goods. Once an item came into short supply, everyone began to hoard it and it disappeared from the shelves. Stateside commissaries didn't have this problem only because the shoppers could go to the local Winn Dixie or Food Lion and get the item. Government run stores have no incentive to provide sales. Their only motivation is to protect their jobs.
I saw this in Vietnam. When i went back to find my wife's family in 1993, we had to take soap, toilet paper, shampoo, and whatever we needed. The commies in Vietnam realized they had a 1st magnitude CF and began to relax strictures on capitalist retail. By 1998, you didn't need to take anything to Vietnam, you could buy what you wanted.
Social Democracy: Social Security, single payer health care, government safety net, hell yes.
Socialism: Government control of mean of production and the economy, hell no.

Socialism: Government control of mean of production and the economy, hell no. -That's fascism.
Here we have representatives of the class that means to rule with an iron fist, blathering with total ignorance.
