    I don't know what it is about some people but they think the president is the emperor.

    I guess they don't teach about our government in school anymore

    Nonsense. It leads to monopoly. Regulated market forces have been so far the best we can get in America, but that will improve.

    Yup, crank, that's why AOC wants to tax the corps and billionaires at 70%.

    /What a bunch of crap. Republicans, are the ones that WANT a dictator. UNITARY EXECUTIVE, national emergencies, Dictator LURVE AFFAIRS, Wall street bailouts, tax cuts aimed at the rich.

    Why don't you GET REAL, and stop the bullshit. You want Trump to DICTATE to libs. You want Trump to dictate, and NO judges.

    THAT is why you say that DEMS are for evil, so YOU can be evil.

    I believe we must eliminate welfare but use progressive taxes to fund services for all Americans. I also don't think hard working people should fund laziness.

    Evil is paraphrasing. Projection is the word.

    Actually the first best thing to do would be to remove them from public school. If one cannot afford private school then home schooling would be best. But get them the hell away from and out of public school's social engineering socialistic promoting environment.

    Make sure they don’t go to public schools because that’s socialism

    Socialism has been successful - and you love the wealth redistribution facet of Socialism.

    Why would you not teach your children about your passions.

    Not a single damn right winger said, bring them up with good values, and integrity, and they will NATURALLY become conservative. NO. They use fear, threat, exile, browbeating, anything but allowing their child to become a complete adult.

    They OWN their children, like slaves.

    You mean not Obama's race-agitating, nation-despising base?

    Hey, how about raising your child to be an independent thinker instead of indoctrinating them with political ideology, left or right?

    I sure am no Trump fan, but I try to not talk to my kids about it too much. The likelihood is, actually, that when they rebel, and they will, they might take the opposite side.

    Socialism already has a chance. You can choose to live it in your private life (extended 'common purse' family, stable and interdependent), or join an actual collective. Both work well. The only thing that ever fails Socialism is individual failure to pull one's weight.

    Right .. so her idea depends upon billionaires. If she doesn't depend upon them, where will she get that money? She needs to keep funding the loafers, right? That's capitalism. Surplus, to fund the leisure seekers.

    Make them share give up their toys to complete strangers, and do chores for strangers with no form of compensation.

    If they are in high school or college, make them share their grade points with the slackers and party kids, who never apply themselves or do their homework.

    Welfare can be accommodated in a collective, but only essential welfare. IOW, for the aged and physical disabled. There simply isn't the surplus in a socialist/communist system to cover ELECTIVE NON PRODUCTIVITY. For that, you need galloping capitalism.
