Your point appears to have been from 1950-1960 sometime based on that picture. Join this century and we can talk.

If you think it's hyperbole to associate Democrats with Socialism, take a look at this Gallup poll. It's disgusting. Is it also hyperbole to say that Democrats who believe this are literally un-American? Or anti-American?


Is it hyperbole to call Bernie Sanders or Ocasio-Cortez a traitor to American ideals and ultimately in favor of a Marxist Final Solution?

How can one become a traitor to American ideals?

Just stay in your safe space so that the scary commies won't come for you when they take over.

I don't always charge 6%. I charge less to people who are nice and fun to work with. There is no cartel. Although linked with a franchise, I am basically in business for myself and can charge whatever I want, and it changes with each deal. So you don't know what you are talking about. I'll do 4% if I really like you.


So yes, collectivism sucks. Bernie Sanders sucks. Alexandria brain-dead Ocasio-Cortez sucks. And the people who elected her suck. How does that grab you?


And yes, I favor unfettered Capitalism. And if my industry goes away due to the internet and other advancements? Too bad for me. I still favor Capitalism, and it is up to me to find something else to do. Freedom. Trade. Voluntary. Capitalism.


Not tyrannical, coercive, oppressive, thieving Bernie Sanders Cortez Democratic Socialism.


But the thing is, the Gallup poll shows that Bernie Sanders is no longer the fringe. The Democrats are being pulled in his direction. And that's bad for freedom, liberty, individual rights, and everything that made America great, and makes America great.


So be careful before you elect a thieving miserable depraved scoundrel like Pocahantas. Unless you wants pirates off New Jersey. And Venezuelan-style mass societal failure. We don't need a wall, we need a force field.

Maybe once you figure it out you can come back and share your thoughts.

One can become a traitor to American ideals by attempting to destroy them from within. So, electing a Pocahantas or a Bernie Sanders is basically an Act of Treason against American values. It is also a confession and admission of personal weakness and lack of character.

That makes a lot of sense . I imagine you probably wouldn’t even deal with someone that is a totally pain in the butt for 7% .
Sometimes the money isn’t worth it .

No doubt this country would not have achieved what we have under socialism.
I saw there is a Somali immigrant preaching socialism and anti Israel and Ocasio Cortez is backing her

This is dangerous stuff ...
——
Ocasio-Cortez endorses Ilhan Omar, of “may Allah awaken the people and help them see the evil doings of Israel” infamy (#MN05)

“Her personal history, however, is not Omar’s most controversial history. She’s steeped in the same type of anti-Israel Islamist and leftist fanaticism that has taken hold in the Democratic Socialist wing of the Democratic Party.

“Make no mistake, however, that Omar will be a rising star in Democrat politics regardless of whether she wins the primary. Much like Ocasio-Cortez, she will be promoted by the entertainment industry and media. She appears in this Maroon 5 hit video:”

By getting a mortgage someone is stealing the future of their children ?
First time I’ve heard that one ..
Does that only apply to someone buying a property for investment or also for owner occupied .
What about people using an FHA loan to buy 3.5% down owner occupied that’s even worse right ? Since they are borrowing more money ?..

With technology /automation we’ll still need people to fix the machines and robots .

Until the robots learn to fix themselves .

If you think that owning property is an easy way to wealth why not do the same ?
