And San Francisco is a rich city. Haiti is not a rich country. I feel bad for the citizens of Haiti, what can they do? There's only so much one can do if the government cannot or will not help.

And now you are saying that they want the opposite? You Trump supporters just deflect, deflect, deflect.

This poster complains about positives/negatives anything that enters his brain. recently he had a thread complaining about some $ 8B surplus that California has. His complaint was that taxation there is just terrible and that is why they have it. Then he had other threads where he is complaining about deficits some states which are mostly dems controlled. I really wonder how anyone takes threads like these seriously.

Your claim makes absolutely no sense, it seems that you have much to learn grasshopper. The Republican party is the advocate for the super-rich. Democrats would be ecstatic if America followed the Nordic economic model.

Kindly link to any Democrats who would promote this idea you are claiming.

After I Lived in Norway, America Felt Backward.

"What Scandinavians call the Nordic model is a smart and simple system that starts with a deep commitment to equality and democracy. That’s two concepts combined in a single goal because, as far as they’re concerned, you can’t have one without the other.

Right there, they part company with capitalist America, now the most unequal of all the developed nations, and consequently a democracy no more. Political scientists say it has become an oligarchy, run at the expense of its citizenry by and for the super rich. Perhaps you’ve noticed that.
"

This has already literally happened in Seattle. Seattle traditionally had a strong presence of immigrants from Norway. There is still an annual Norway parade in the Ballard neighborhood, which was once heavily Norwegian. Seattle was once a pretty, middle class, clean, friendly city, and a great place to raise children. Seattle sent Republicans to the state legislature from time to time.


Now after about 40 years of dominance by far-left politicos, Seattle is turning into a ****hole. I rarely visit there because I don't like having the side window of my vehicle smashed. There are homeless encampments all over, pan-handlers at every freeway on-ramp, needles on the ground in parks, and people driving around in dilapidated RV's in which they live.

All American flags and guns will be banned from white families. Each refugee (including babies) will be given a gun and ammunition. Since the USSR failed almost 30 years ago, we will replace the flag with a white background with George Soros's face and Agenda 21 written in Arial Black font underneath his face. Remember, this is our secret. You can't tell anyone. Not even your dog or your caretaker.

Sounds like a lot of towns an cities in the U.S. today. It was so different 50-60 years ago. Not that these things didn't exist back then but not near at much as it does today.

I am glad we are a successful nation.

Wish them good luck in improving their terrible nation.

No, but what I want to know is how do liberals presumably think they are going to turn America into a Norway, Denmark by mass immigrating and overpopulating America from the third world and any and every other non-European nation?

Liberals can't actually believe that? If it was possible to make Norway out of a given 3rd world nation with a 3rd world native populace, liberals would go and done it by now. There wouldn't be 3rd world countries left. Some of them have better weather and plenty of natural resources than most of the US.
