Socialism Wasn't Always a Dirty Word (in the U.S.)

Venezuela’s economy collapsed long before any sanctions were put on Venezuela… and you should compare the “worst case scenerio”, because it could easily happen here too.

and implementing Sweden’s 62% tax rate in a country the size of the United States would not work. Sweden is about the size of Missouri. Furthermore, what kind of innovation is coming out of Sweden? Watches? and anything else? Would ANY U.S. company stay in the U.S. with a 62% tax rate? I think not. They were leaving in droves when it was 38%.

The average capitalist would no longer have the reason to dream and innovate. The next “Steve Jobs” garage based startups wouldn’t have a chance. There would be no Silicon Valley. I don’t want to argue much about this, but I respect your opinion… I like to hear all sides… I’m just saying that socialistic ideas in America is very dangerous… That’s about all… Hope you have a great day :slight_smile:
