If there was a vote at the pig pen, the pigs would always vote for the person that feeds them. That is true because they dont understand that person will slaughter them the next day. That is the way socialism works also.

Magical pigs that don't understand the person they vote for will slaughter them someday but understand a voting system to vote for that person.

Bad analogy.

That's a good one!


Another one.

10 people eat a restaurant.

When the check comes, the vote is 9-1 that the rich guy pay the bill.( pretty much how our income tax system is)

Eventually the rich guy is either going to stop coming or quit working hard to make money since he only ends up giving to the other 9

And if the rich guy decides to eat foreign food to avoid paying more to eat with fellow Americans, he will be nailed with a big ol’ food tariff. Better that he give back to his fellow Americans who helped him to become and stay wealthy.
 
Whatever goes upon two legs is an enemy.
Whatever goes upon four legs, or has wings, is a friend.
No animal shall wear clothes.
No animal shall sleep in a bed.
No animal shall drink alcohol.
No animal shall kill any other animal.
All animals are equal.

All animals are equal, but some animals are more equal than others
Four legs good, two legs better!

Orwell, by the way, was a Democratic Socialist. It never ceases to amaze me that a man who saw the progression of Socialism into Stalinism so clearly never quite wrapped his head around the fact that the transition is inevitable.
 
You guys are as bad at analogy as you are at just about everything else. I can only hope that you are as bad at procreation. If so, we have NOTHING to worry about.

While with capitalism, the pigs vote for the person they buy their food from and they still get slaughtered the next day. :cool:

then your point is the one fellow will give up the life of being rich because he contributes disproportionally just as he benefits disproportionally
that rich guy must have inherited his wealth because with such 'logic' he was too profoundly stupid to have earned it

Kinda like tRump voters. He hasn’t got a clue what AGAIN is and neither does his base; “but damn the torpedoes, full speed ahead. And you don’t have a clue about “socialism” Faux news told you liberals want it (we don’t) and YOU-ALL will WIN if you attack us with it. So dutiful little Faux pigs are on the attack EVERY day. You don’t even know that attacking YOUR Countrymen will destroy EVERYTHING you hold dear.

HE does not benefit disproportionately. Other way around. He gets the same meal as the other 9, but he has pay for his meal AND theirs.

The other 9 benefit disproportionately. THey pay nothing and get a meal.
 
The rich also profit massively from the labors of their employees.

The poor tend not to have employees so that is not entirely a bad thing. Massive profits also generate significant government revenue which allows the poor to enjoy being provided with "free" goods/services.

of course the rich benefit disproportionally
just look at public security measures; who has more to lose in the absence of public security, the rich man or the poor man

That argument might make sense if the Government had to pay more for public security for rich people.
They don't , so it doesn't

I would think the right would be smart enough to understand what they are doing is supporting a wannabe dictator. Once that dictator becomes all powerful, just like putin, if you want to own a company, you have to deal with the top dog first. Socialism is destroyed by people like putin and trump because it turns into dictatorships not socialist societies.

Ready, shoot, aim. I only hope I live long enough for all the crap about the trump administration comes out in public. However, with trumps delaying defensive team (which the 85 bears are even jealous of) it may take years I don't have. I have never in all my years seen the right become so willfully blind and ignorant. Sad.

Desperation doesn't make for good analogies.

So I guess that explains republican thinking. Ten votes it's 9-1 and the one wins and yet the right complains about the deep state ruining their agenda? Go figure?

Just keep eating the slop they feed you and hope to see the sun come up over the sty for another day.
