I don't have a "dream society." I'm a pragmatist. Fake utopias are the left's navel-gazing currency in trade.

Your one-liners just prove you dont have a clue. Which country got the most money per person from the Marshall plan? UK. Which Western European country grew the slowest? UK. LOL.

So you cant give a single example of a country that supports your claim. Proving my point beautifully.

No, it means it's really not all that hard to educate yourself. I have NO idea why SO many people still choose to remain under-informed, and instead wish to align their beliefs with sheer fantasy. /shrug

So you see, the left "talks" a big game, and the stooges buy it for some inexplicable reason, but when push comes to shove the left really just look out for only their own best interests.
You mean they would run to Communist China where workers have no rights?

In Capitalism, Unions are encouraged.
In Communism, Unions are not allowed.
Now ask yourself who sides more with Communism and also got in bed with China for cheap labor that have no rights?

Not necessarily. Warren Buffett took BK to Canada.

Yeah, like the UK getting three times as much Marshall aid as Western Germany after the war per person and growing by far the slowest of all Western European countries. You dont seem to understand what you write.

Yet, here you are talking about how Europe was destroyed and how that was the only reason American workers had it good (even though trade was a TINY part of the US economy at the time so it couldnt possibly be the reason), yet at the same time claim the Marshall aid meant Europe could boom (yet the country with the least aid grew the strongest and the Marshall aid poster boy the UK grew the slowest). You dont know what you talk about, simple as that.
