Comment Re:Obama knows how to play politics if anything. (Score 0) 834

There are numerous examples throughout human history of what happens when too much wealth and power become concentrated in the hands of too few.

Capitalism doesn't concentrate too much wealth and power in the hands of too few. That's what socialism does.

The more capitalist a nation, the more stable it is. The more welfare and socialism, the more unstable it is, as evidenced by France and Greece.

But please, give me an example of what happens when the poor "punishes" the rich too much through "excessive taxation".

Zimbabwe. Most of sub-Saharan Africa. If it wasn't for tax "loopholes", the united States would be a third-world hellhole.;

The Love Canal landfill was perfectly fine, properly sealed and maintained by the company, which was unwilling to sell it. The local GOVERNMENT, wanting to build a school, came along and threatened to seize the land using eminent domain. The company relented and sold the property for one dollar, with the deed stating that the site was dangerous for human habitation. The local GOVERNMENT then proceeded to dig up the site for a sewer system and landscaping.

That's just one example. The rest of your points would collapse under similar scrutiny.

But, please, don't let me get in the way of your excellent "hooray for me, fuck you"/"all's fair in love and war" attitude. Just don't expect much sympathy when society adopts the same mentality and starts rolling the guillotines through the gated communities. It's happened before, and it's gonna happen again.

Thank you for once again proving my point that all of leftism is based on the threat of violence.

By the way, I'm wiling to bet that non-leftists have a higher gun ownership rate than "liberals" and "progressives".

These "Stand Your Ground" Laws that we have thanks to ALEC and the NRA are meant only to protect white people who shoot blacks, Hispanics, Muslims, etc.

Look, I understand that you want white people to be murdered before they're allowed to defend themselves against blacks, but you do realize that Zimmerman is half Hispanic, don't you?

I guess that pretty much blows your entire narrative up in your face, doesn't it?
