Larry Elder (TH): Hillary Clinton recently offered yet another reason why she lost her second consecutive race for the presidency: capitalism.
At the Shared Value Leadership Summit in New York City, Clinton was asked whether her self-proclaimed “capitalist” stance hurt her during the 2016 presidential primary season. “It’s hard to know,” she said, “but I mean, if you’re in the Iowa caucuses and 41 percent of Democrats are socialists or self-described socialists, and I’m asked, ‘Are you a capitalist?’ and I say, ‘Yes, but with appropriate regulation and appropriate accountability.’ You know, that probably gets lost in the ‘Oh, my gosh, she’s a capitalist!'”
Clinton’s right. Being a Democrat and a “capitalist” is an increasingly untenable position for a politician. Polls show that today’s Democratic Party and capitalism appear to be on a collision course. A November 2015 New York Times/CBS News poll found that 56 percent of Democratic primary voters said they held a positive view of socialism. A Morning Consult/Politico survey in June 2017 asked if a hypothetical replacement for House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi should be a socialist or capitalist. More Democrats opted for socialism, with 35 percent saying it’s somewhat or very important that her replacement be a socialist, while only 31 percent said the same for a capitalist. read more
Hillary could have given a Capitalism example from her personal life.
” Capitalism works like this, Ally Mack get’s me a Child , and I give her Cash so wer’e both using Capitalism to fulfill our desires “
Capitalism is the host, socialism is the parasite.
Has anyone mentioned the employer “Head Tax” in Seattle? No, duh!
Tell it like it is –
The democRAT party is a wholly owned subsidiary of the CPUSA!
“… but with appropriate regulation and appropriate accountability.”
Who are you to “regulate” what I do with my own money?
Why must I be “accountable” to you about my own money?
Socialism is a metastasizing disease that has run rampant since Wilson.
There are no Demonrats without socialism – and there can be no socialism without nihilism.
If the notion of “contract” between consenting adults was held as “sacrosanct” by our society and our juridical system, “capitalism” and Freedom and Liberty could (would) flourish.
Since we allow the legal maggots to play fast and loose with “justice” we have nothing but laws and “rulings” left to guide us.
izlamo delenda est …
Let’s hope the increasing concentration of socialists in the Democrat party is caused by the capitalists leaving the shrinking party.
I do wish we could post pics here. *sigh
