Harris called out for being communist by WaPo

[Fluffypants]

Liberals hate anyone who makes any money they expect all companies to run on hopes and dreams and not worry about profit because the government will provide.

Religion exists on the left it is just their god is government. Think about it their politicians are the priests who promise if you worship them they will take care of you. You will have no want or need besides government.

Think how much they freaked out when their was the protest on January 6th and they dared enter and vandalize their temple of worship.

She's lost WaPo, one of the most left wing rags in the country. They called her out for putting out a horrible economic plan. Anyone that took econ in high school knows that price controls are never going to work.

 

Well it’s ONE columnist’s opinion not the entire paper’s opinion. 
 

And FYI, 34 states already have anti-price gouging laws and there has long been a limited federal law allowing the government to prohibit price-gouging and hoarding during war and emergencies so the end-of-world hysteria ginned up by the right and apparently subscribed to by this columnist is just another overreaction.  Clearly “the corporatist establishment” is not happy with these laws.

That's UNPOSSIBLE!!!! Such laws would have guaranteed there'd be no inflation and prices are all fair! You're not calling kamala a liar are you?!?!?!!      

As amusing as it is to see you shoot yourself in the foot, she's not proposing 'Anti gouging' as her primary policy but price setting.  She'll say what a dozen eggs should cost, that kind of thing.  That's very different than anti gouging laws, two entirely different things. 

And her plan won't work, it's been tried, it always fails.  It leads to scarcity of commodity, black market trading at even higher prices, and shortages of other elements as well.

Bingo.

 

In other news, right wingers hate the Tech Billionaire barons until they say the magic words like woke or conmie.  Repeat and reverse for left wingers...

Oh look. The self-proclaimed "Conservative" is siding with the Libbies...again.

Mike...come out of the closet.

Conservatives HATE monopolies fyi.  Do you think that your small business stands a chance against Jeff Bezos?  Have you read Adam Smith?

Well then you must be dead set against making the government a monopoly for all pricing...right?

Absolutely I am.

 

When monopolies start to challenge the purposes of capitalism, you often need only remind them of their place.

In Kamala's case, that place would be...where? Cuba?

Given the Democratic Party association with massive retail outfits, I wouldn't worry too much that they're planning to nationalize grocery chains.

In fact they're trying to keep two major chains from merging.

One first has to decide where you stand on monopolies vs freedom to do business.

The dialogue usually goes like this:

"Trudeau is a Marxist"

Me: "What are your reasons for saying that?"

"Ok, then, YOU'RE A MARXIST YOU MARXIST"

I've explained my beliefs in our nation's institutions make me defacto conservative but a lot of people on here can't stand the idea of discussion.

She's literally running on nationalizing what grocery chains can charge people. 

This is the 'market socialism' model where there is still technically private ownership but it's very heavily controlled by the state to the point where it is essentially nationalized.

And it really doesn't work.  Trudeau tried a sort of similar thing up here where he made grocery stores promise to 'be good' essentially, and nothing's changed.   In places where they ACTUALLY fix prices as she's suggesting it's always failed spectacularly. 

So if you actually believe what you say then you should be against Kamala's economic policy quite strongly.

It's not the discussion Mike. It's that you consistently oppose current conservative positions.

And constantly support left wing positions. 

This gets pointed out to you all the time.  Constantly.  You endlessly take strong left wing positions and then people point it out.  And later when people point out you are on the left you always play the innocent, or say "gosh fellas i had no idea despite you pointing it out 100 times, could you point out examples?" as if you didn't see them when they were posted. 

And if anyone does post examples you just shut up and slink away and make the same ridiculous claims the next day. 

you are strongly left of center mike.  You take left of center positions, you constantly attack right of center opinions  you defend left wing gov'ts and you attack right wing gov'ts and your reasoning on those rare occasions you give any are always left wing reasoning or talking points 

Sorry bud. You'se a leftie    Not radical, not "hard woke" like some but you're on the left of the political spectrum.

Mike is our resident trans-party person. I guess you'd call xhim a "trans-con".

Xhe was born with all that weird leftist genitalia & the accompanying pronouns, but xhe identifies as conservative now, even though xhe doesn't have an Adam's apple and still requires the use of the 'liberal hygeine products' that were so graciously supplied in the conservative bathrooms by Trudeau and Tim Walz.
