    Here, NYC millennials praise Venezuela’s income equality, think America should copy them

    President Trump in his Afghanistan speech stated that the Afghans need to pay their own fair share. How refreshing it is that our current President is asking non-Americans to pay more instead of our last President going after Americans to pay more. All BHO did is take a ton of American Tax payers money and give it to foreign countries like the Iran deal and the Afghans.

    Socialism always begins with questions like, "Why can't we provide healthcare for everyone?"

    It always ends with questions like this

    This version of Socialist Monopoly is probably more accurate than the one above

    1991 comparison of per-capita GDP in matched communist vs. non-communist countries.

    Pretty easy to see that Communism/Socialism robs a nation of nearly 90% of its potential economic productivity.

    Socialism is coveting others belongings.

    We've created such a fine art of this ... we have been coveting the production of people yet born.

    The only people who speak well of socialism haven't lived in it.

    How dare you say things like that. Those special snowflakes know what's best for you. Just ask them, they will tell you.

    Yep. A good friend of mine's mom escaped from East Germany in a manner like that video. She was the only member of her family to make it out alive. She had a strong German accent her whole life. My friend always said her mom refused to discuss it with anyone, ever. But I got her to talk about it one night late over drinks (I was so curious). The tears came just 10m in.

    Never thought of the Berlin wall coming down as being bad for the US but I can see that it is in that respect.

    It can be if the people teaching the generations that followed the Berlin Wall are ideologically sympathetic to the people who built the Wall.
