And the problem with socialism is that eventually you run out of other people's money.

It's really scary some still push this kind of thinking when it has been such a failure and destruction for so many.
Stossel is a clown

Trump is rattling the nuclear sabers with China threatening retaliation for a first-strike. And YOU'RE worried about the AntiFa? .

A little reality grounding is called for here.

So you want Trump to send the fat boy another billion like Obama did to appease him? That is your reality?

Yes, the entire Democrat party - they may just change their name to Communist party. At least, that would be honest.

Why are all the poorest states (Mississippi?) run by Republicans / Conservatives?

As for Stossel he's a Libertarian.
You have to be kidding me!

Plenty of communist supporters were rich and they didn't know what the hell they were supporting until after their heads rolled on the ground. By the way, it's not a metaphor; it's a historical fact.

Anybody dumb or evil enough to support communist/socialist ideas deserves what's coming for him/her.

Communism/socialism exploits and promotes the two evilest characteristics in human: jealousy and violence with impunity.

If you want to see anything worse than Nazi/Fascism, it is communism and socialism.

And Socialism/Communism only works until everyone is equally poor, then the real suffering begins.
