That's actually the problem.


Liberals vote for liberalism. Then it destroys the state. So then they flee the state. But since liberals can never learn from their mistakes, they then start voting for liberalism in the state they fled to. The liberals who have pensions, for example, do indeed flee to states where they get to keep more money. But it's not like they say "my eyes are opened to the injustice I am forcing on the citizens who support my non-working!" They actually become crazily more certain that they were right and start demanding pensions in their new state while they don't work for 30 years.

You're right. That was not West Virginia. That wasn't my point. No worries.

The Hudson River was terribly polluted by capitalism or General Electric - who dumped millions of pounds of pollution into that river until the late 1970's. It took "liberalism" to clean it up. BTW, NYC and SF are bastions of capitalism and huge generators of capital. It appears that is something you do not understand. Silly...

Do these companies have any physical presence in Passadena? If not, I'd like to know how they can exercise jurisdiction over them to tax them.

This must mean that the red light cameras aren't generating enough cash.

Liberalism cleaned it up? You should go swim there then, since liberalism cleaned it up. Also, it's irrelevant to claim that "capitalism" polluted it, since it was liberals practicing capitalism. By the way, since liberalism depends on the money of capitalism, I could also claim credit for anything you say liberalism did. It's strange that I don't understand, but understand more than you do.

So are liberals the one who practice capitalism or do they advocate for "wealth distribution"? Seems like I see people arguing both of these!

They advocate for wealth distribution. However, nobody claimed that liberals aren't giant hypocrites. So, for example, the same liberals who are socialists happen to be extremely wealthy. If I point that out, you might say "oh, well, you just claimed liberals are socialists and now you're complaining they are wealthy, which is it?" You didn't just trap me. You trapped the liberals.

I think you trapped me because I have no idea what you just said!
