That is NOT a socialist country, it is a quasi republic that uses typical communist criminality, whereby all the countries wealth is funneled into the personal bank accounts of the elite.

It isn't what one officially calls oneself that establishes identity.............it's one's behavior that tells the truth.

BTW, the soviet union was not a communist State...............it was a criminal enterprise..................just as Russia and China are today.


the wealthy 1% of this nation were usually given their wealth by inheritance . and taking over some big company , or two - three . // if per chance you were the one to be in line for some of this wealth ? would you refuse it ? or take it and try to run it as well as you could to profit the workers and yourself ? /././. I am sure that some corporate entities have a dirty past , yet are hopefully on the up an up now days . but if it weren't for the upper 1% or even 20% where would we be as workers ? standing in food lines ? /./. I think it wouldn't matter how a country would be run . you wouldn't like it , sense you aren't among the upper class .

You are trying to make excuses for greed. Greed motivates CEOs to take bigger and bigger salaries while paying the workers minimum wages

no. I don't think I am trying to make excuses for their greed . just the point that if them -----------------weren't up there creating businesses we would be in a hurt . a lot more than we are . and yes ceo's and the upper management are paid a whole lot more than they should be . it is the workers who put out the products that the co. makes their money from . not some suit - n - tie knuckle head .

Wow... what is it with libs bashing the 1-20% of top earners.. why do they assume if someone is wealthy, it was handed to them or they inherited it, if you will, rather than earned.. why do Libs scream fraud and corruption.. That's an easy one...Jealousy!!! Period.. so instead of goin out and making your own fortune you scream for the wealthy to kick down... they already do.. most corporations even with write off's they still pay more taxes quarterly.. than most make in a year!..

Also, one of my biggest pet peeves is people saying "they are rich they won't even feel it" well news flash, a corporation is also made up of employees and said employees may have issues at home.. like a disease!! or hardship.. those people aren't making as much as some think.. after taxes n insurance... also, We as citizens when doing our taxes look for write offs and deductions why do libs insist that corporations should not do the same..

All that said.. I realize that some corporations are corrupt.. oh...say like the Clinton Foundation..while It may not be a "corporation" it is corrupt..and may as well count embezzlement, hmm.. or say..George Soros!!..

So while some "corporations" may have questionable dealings.. there is a difference between Capititalists... and Cronie capitalists..

So those that have issues with corporations because they have more than you.. try goin out and gettin some yourself on your OWN merit.. Where there is a will there is a way.. just a thought!

I was a bully and had slaves build my fortune. I am not concerned about what the kommiecrats think about that. Every great civilization was built by slaves. That's how wealth is created.

What's disturbing...My opinion, from what I've gathered around history, and current posts on this site and others, regarding slavery.. is that Libs seem to think all white conservatives were slave owners...meaning back during the civil war and before.. ancestors.. ffs!.. contrary to Hollywood not everyone could afford a slave so if they were able to procur a slave they damn sure didn't beat he/she.. back then the mentality for the poor, I'd no sooner beat this slave than I would my favorite ox.. Also, folks need only look to africa.. samalia, haite etc.. that sold their own people into slavery, the dutch east india company, otherwise known as "black birders" brought them here.. But yep.. pretty much the wealth of cities and countries was built on the backs of slaves..and Indentured servants..

Socialism is the step to communism and in ways is similar to communism. And it sucks. Just like communism....
