Communists like DeBlasio think they know what's best for everyone, and lucky for them they have everyone else's money available to spend for their loonie objectives. Eventually that money runs out, and eventually the Communists have to start covering up their failed projects to maintain legitimacy so there is a curtain of "everything is great" while everything actually falls apart behind the scenes.
Only the free market can meet the demands of the population. The United States is the most prosperous country in the history of the world, why do all these a-holes keep trying to mess with it?
Speaking of, our resident communist refused once again to respond to yet another reasoned and well-written post prompted by his usual hysterics. I think I'm going to bookmark this one for next time he pops up to make wild accusations and throw around leftist labels.
Comrade De Blasio is up to it again. Says if he were president he would tax all robots and automation devices, and ban automation from removing even one employee (overpriced & lazy or not):
"De Blasio’s plan would create a new agency called the Federal Automation and Worker Protection Agency (FAWPA), which would govern how companies could automate jobs. This would include removing tax incentives for automation and adding a “permitting process” for any company that wants to “increase automation that would displace workers.” (Companies would need to offer severance packages or new jobs that pay as much as the old ones.)
The “robot tax,” meanwhile, would apply to “large companies” that eliminate jobs through automation without offering employees new jobs. These companies would have to pay five years of payroll taxes into a special fund. "

Yea socialism is good. Look what it did for Venezuela.
And Cuba, the former USSR, Poland, etc. Talk to anyone who lived under socialism (communism) and they'll tell you what it was like waiting on line for toilet paper. The former east bloc countries are thriving under capitalism.
Socialism vastly improved Venezuela. Millions of homes built for the poor living in shanty towns. Hundreds of thousands of elderly and disabled people began to receive pensions, illiteracy was eliminated. Millions of people gained access to universal healthcare and education as schools and clinics were built all over the country and millions sought college degrees. Staple goods subsidized for the poor who could not afford these goods prior. All this funded by taking control of the national resources primarily oil.
What has not worked is capitalism in Venezuela. The rich who've steadily seem their wealth and power Erode have been waging economic war to halt the gains of the poor. Polar a private compan controls over half of the food supply many other private importers have a monopoly on trade. They have been using their position of power to hoard and divert goods to the black market to make higher profits, circumvent price controls, and attempt to bring down the government.
The mistake has been not expropriating remaining major private property and state monopoly on trade are necessary for socialism to succeed. There cannot be some dual system.
That said prior to the oil crash, Venezuela performed remarkably well economically for 14 years with a socialist government
Keep telling yourself the above........
