taxes are too goddamn high

Serious discussion area.
You realize that sometimes you're not okay, you level off, you level off, you level off...

i think the tax discussion is basically dead.

they're immoral. they're akin to theft. they're unconstitutional. and they are too damn high.

and socialism is morally flawed. maybe i'll start a thread about that.

i gotta say, this is the most political any message board i've posted on has been in a long time. let's just TRY to leave the flames out of it. swearing and slandering does nothing but hurt your argument. believe me, i know.

Just one more thing...

How can you use someone's opinion on one topic to discredit their opinion in another? It just doesn't make any sense...

I have to admit, I agree with you there. Lets stick to the topic.

no, that's why socialism is more politically correct.

capitalism is the superior system because it does not require the use of force in order to function. it is the freer system.

the way i see it is that socialism doesn't work, capitalism is corrupt, communism is defiantly corrupt, so basically nothing works. They all suck!

neither capitalism or communism are corrupt. Pure capitalism and communism would work in theory, but neither has ever existed. This is because pure capitalism or communism is impossible to put in place. Why? because of humans.
