It didn't really. A shocking amount of the infrastructure was still built over the millennia with private money. We have MORE infrastructure but that's because we've got cars and eletricity and stuff we never did before.

But even before widespread electrical technology, both the quantify and the quality of infrastructure got much better as the government started taking better care of the workers. There's a reason why libertarian societies always fail. The model you're describing just wasn't efficient. Today's lolbert societies have electricity, but they still don't work well.

It's not hard to avoid at all. You seem to seek it out - you weren't even involved in this but you're jumping in and it's not the first time. If you really gave a crap you could easily send a pm and said 'hey, i want to talk about this issue' or whatever but you don't - you just wanted to pick a fight yourself and so you dive in.

When someone acts like an ass to me - they get a fight. Plain and simple. This kid was an ass. THere's tonnes of threads where myself and others disagree but it's civil and both sides act with respect, but this douche didn't choose to do that and neither did you.

So you've got ZERO room to complain, troll.

Conservatives have been saying that for almost a century in America. It never actually happens.

The bourgeoisie will always try to save money. If they can outsource to a third world country, they will. We've tried lowering their taxes to keep jobs in America, but that doesn't work because the bourgeoisie will happily take lower taxes AND cheaper labor through outsourcing. This is why outsourcing increased under Trump, despite everything he did for the rich.

It’s only happened in every communist country and a few very socialist ones like Venezuela, and even in certain developed countries like Britain in the 50’s.  Food stamps, shortages, rations, and breadlines can be fun though. right? Move along, nothing to see here…

Well he's also a litlte wrong. It doesn't just happen in "communist" countries.

Ask new york about that. After thier tax increase the wealthy fled or faked their addressses as being in tax friendly areas such as florida and atlanta i believe. He made a HUGE stick about it, showing the numbers, and this is why the budgets suddenly tanked and there wasn't enough money for many of the social programs.

There are MANY examples - there comes a point where the expense of paying tax becomes more than the cost of avoiding tax. And when that happens, money leaves.

So conservatives have been saying it for years... and it's been happening for years.

Now - it would be MORE accurate to include the benefit form taxes to be fair. FOr example a bunch of busineess fled to Canada during harper's day, it became a real thing that obama was pissed about. Canada had technically higher taxes, but - it's got gov't medical and when you took that into account the actual cost after tax and medical was still better in Canada. So we got tonnes of investment, many businesses moved, etc.

It's not hard to move your money without moving your body. You'll still pay a little tax locally but much of that wealth is now being taxed elsewhere. And that's bad news for poor people - the rich pay the majority of the taxes, if they go then the por will get far less in the way of services.

You can tax to a certain point, and then people and business has had enough and they flee.  At some point it gets to be worth the money and hassle.

Nope. Even in Ancient Rome, they used taxes for infrastructure and public services. The taxes actually increased along with the size of the empire because the Romans understood that maintaining such a large territory requires more government.

There were lots of reasons for the fall of the empire, but when it comes to the inability to fund itself, that had more to do with the country being too big. Had they relied on private businesses to build infrastructure, Rome would have fell way sooner. Also, taxes were used to pay for the military, which is another way taxation benefits all of us.

Intelligent hard working people are fleeing the ditzy Democrat states.  Honestly, why would any sane person want to be around war-mongering tax and spend leftists who put pronouns under their names, teach young children about sex, and believe that referring to biological women as women and biological men as men is offensive?

I wouldn’t want my family anywhere near these corrupt confused people.  I want to be somewhere that rewards merit, instills family values, and keeps both taxes reasonable and the cost of living low.  The champagne socialists want an overreaching government to ram their bizarre amoral agenda down everyone’s throats.

Both parties are full of war-mongers. It's one of the few things Republicans and Democrats agree on. However, leftists are mostly anti-war. We were the ones condemning Obama for his drone program while both conservative media and liberal media were ignoring the civilian deaths.

That pronoun thing really bothers you, snowflake?

Leftists don't want to teach young children about sex. When conservatives say things like that, they're projecting. Conservatives want to ban sex ed because when kids learn basic sex ed, they're more likely to tell someone if they've been molested. You really just want to protect child abusers.

It's not offensive, but it does reveal your ignorance. Likewise, you can say that the moon is a star if you want. It's not offensive, but it does let people know how uneducated you are.

Teaching kids that no one is allowed to touch them, especially their sex organs, isn’t the same thing as discussing forms of sexuality with primary students.  As for everything else you said, are you kidding me?  You really don’t seem to get that the current dominant liberals have nothing to do with supporting workers or opposing war.  They’re elitists who use progressive language as a smokescreen for the fact that they think blue collar people are gross and they like imposing their views on everyone everywhere overseas.  They’re a threat to family values, subsidiarity, and democracy. They’re also a disaster for the economy, adding taxes and raising the cost of living through inflationary spending.

Of course. But the Right wants no sex ed at all. They also want homeschooling, because most child abuse takes place in the home. And of course, they don't want teachers finding out that a child is being molested or otherwise abused, since they'd call CPS.

I'm not a liberal, but that's just not true. Liberals want to raise the minimum wage, build infrastructure in rural areas, and expand medicare while conservatives want to cut medicare, medicaid, social security.

Why do you think the right-wing establishment started obsessing over queer people and "wokeness" like three years ago? It's because Republicans have no issues that are popular with average Americans. They need to obsess over culture war nonsense because they don't want to talk about economic policy.

Let's say that's true. Let's say that behind the scenes, Democrats look down on blue-collar people. They would still be the better choice because their policies benefit the workers. Whereas Republicans only make policy that benefits the rich.

And when you say "family values," you mean you're against gay marriage. Cry all you want, but most Americans support gay marriage. When you say Democrats are a threat to democracy, that's just pure projection, since we both know which party tried to steal the 2020 election and then made voter-restriction laws all over America.

Well that's a blatant lie.  They believe in age appropriate sex ed that's focused on how pregnancy works, dispelling myths (like you can't get preggers if you have sex standing up, one of my faves), STD's, and some basics about health and biology. 

They just don't want to teach 4 year olds how to do anal. Which seems to upset your kind terribly for some reason.

Well that's pretty stupid - first you're a disgusting person if you think right wing people support child abuse and want to create situations where it happens more, as you just said. What a pile of human trash you are to say that.

And second - if that WAS they're goal they just have to wait till the kids come home and abuse them then. It's not like kids are in school for 24 hours. So i would be a dense reason even IF it wasn't a disgusting thing to say.

Yep, the didn't use 'taxes' for infrastructure, at least not by and large. Soooowwweeeee. They had SOME 'public funds' they spent on infrastructure but it wasn't from taxes. It was from tribute (business license basically), land fees, bribes, fees and licenses for the most part (and occasionally just killing a rival rich person and stealing everything in ceaser's day).  So not taxes. The average person didn't pay a tax.  There was no payroll deduction slip for the average person.

And a LOT of the roads didn't even come from that. It just came from the pockets of rich people.

So sorry kiddo wrong again.
