Socialism is like life in a pandemic

do you want to talk about Callahan? How about the winter of discontent? How about the labour union party and the interest rates rising under him. How about unions turning against him as he crippled the country and the people? How about the commonwealth immigrant act if 1968? While the country was struggling, the people were depressed, interest rates increased from 3 to 7 percent in a week, he opens up the borders for an influx of people. To come in and work? How about that lib-lab pact? The government with years of socialist policies had put the country in a deep recession, which had been compared to the Great Depression. When Margaret thatcher took over, because the people become fed up with a government that was abusing their taxes, which had rose to the double digits and increasing interest rates. The only way out was to sell off crown corporations or become like Venezuela , While I agree this is bad, when they do it, there was no other way unless you wanted a depression on your hands? After years of socialists abuse, here it has been done to hold control when not necessary, and line the socialists own pockets, to shift the power and control, to enslave the people.

socialists, Increase interest rates, freeze wages, increase taxes, make people poorer, excessive spending, open borders for an influx. Now people will say that poverty went up under thatcher, but I can say poverty was welcomed through the back door prior as interest rates rose, taxes were over 20 percent and industry was leaving the uk at a fast rate, and people were out of work, No confidence in the country, That is what she adopted as well as a country that was looking at bankruptcy.

But a socialist will say, it’s not fair, to remind us, of the mess we left when we went away.

 

I not only, unlike you, lived through it, I was actually there at the TUC Conference when Callaghan was told most emphatically, that the Unions could not hold the line at a 5% wage increase, when the cost of living was way above that, He was told that the Unions could hold the line if he agreed to 10% increase, but Callaghan, arrogant sod that he was tried to impose the 5% and the rank file Trade Unionists told him where to get off.

As to the Commonwealth Immigration Act, I see your racist, fascist slip is showing - so go and find someone else to bother - I can't be arsed !!!

 

Not at all, my best friend was actually from a family who went to England from Ghana originally. She lived in hammersmith, Her family fled there during the Callahan disaster of policies and tax increases and came to Canada. So pull out the race card all you want, it will get you no where.

but hey, 5% wage increase during a severe recession isn’t the solution when companies can’t afford it. Causes lay-off. Unemployment increase, businesses departing because they can not profit or afford employees as he increased interest rates,

 

Can't afford without making a hefty profit, you mean. Most businesses could care less about how essential the product is. They're in it to get rich. They're not concerned with the consumer's needs except as a source for profit.

 

so is the idea here to increase interest rates, increase taxes, cripple everyone including businesses while abusing those taxes and profiting off making everyone a slave? Because that is what happened here and in the uk under a socialist regime.

 

No, the idea is for businesses to have all their dreams come true, and to inspire the worker to be just as selfish, with the hope this will translate into better productivity, as dictated by psychopaths. But it doesn't.

 

Workers do realize that their product is for gluttony and excess, not essential need. Not that all luxury is bad, but they never get a glimpse of it. And yet, the insistence that we're supposed to care.

 

When the people in charge, themselves, don't. They all just had get rich quick schemes. They didn't actually care.

 

well it is the socialist government is the selfish ones in this. Not the business who employees the people, wants to prosper, wants their employees to succeed, offering healthcare packages they buy up at a reduced rate for bulk, then offering it to their employees-at cost. The increased interest rates, taxes and spending. Taxed imports as well, which stopped things coming in for production. The people are the ones who suffered, not the socialist leaders.

if socialist continue to deny this failure, deny the history and disaster that happened under it, there will be absolutely zero success, socialism has proven time and time again to fail. History has shown that, it is unfortunate that in the USA, it is believed it can succeed.

 

People are more inspired to contribute when they know they're providing an essential need, or even just to make someone happy. But it doesn't work when the consumer isn't grateful. And we're not. The American economy is based on nonsense. Clearly nonsense is not sustainable.

 

Newsflash: the average business couldn't care less if the employee succeeds, especially not if it endangers their profits. This isn't about people helping people; it's about people serving people. People who express no gratitude in any way, shape, or form.

 

socialism is not the solution. History has shown that. It doesn’t bring about contentment or happiness for that matter. It doesn’t provide the basic needs.

 

Socialism depends completely upon mature leadership, which is why it is dangerous.

 

The only real sialution is to forsake selfishness and be easy going, take the good with the bad. The demand for perfection is ludicrous.

 

very true, .

Nearly all Men can stand adversity, but if you want to test a mans character, give him power. Abraham Lincoln.

Human nature comes into play, I don’t think it is possible to change human nature. When socialists pretend it is, knowing full well that they are not special.

 

Human nature is a varied thing. There isn't one natural way to be, and it isn't greed. Neither can we just accept the worst of our nature, and try to live accordingly.

 

We have to be the best.

 

oh simply not true, it is evident that socialism does play god, more that anyone by pretending they are something to which the6 are not, Point finger, lay blame, cripple the people, tax them to death and make them into slaves. Not the kind of god I want, that is for certain. A god that falsely claims to be the good guy.

 

Beeeesst
You've got to be the beeeest
You've got to change the wooorld
And uuuse
This chanceee
To be heaaard
Youuuur tiiime iiis NOW!

Sorry everything reminds me of songs
