I'm waiting for Obama to elected so I can quit my job and go on welfare. Once I start getting my checks, I'll be sure and send some 'hope' your way. Yes we can have socialism!

Taxation is the price we pay for failing to build a civilized society. The higher the tax level, the greater the failure. A centrally planned totalitarian state represents a complete defeat for the civilized world, while a totally voluntary society represents its ultimate success. --Mark Skousen

You're being an irrational drama queen.  How about you just focus on chipping in for your actual use of the site?

Let's put our money where our mouth is. If I can go on welfare and get checks and income tax rebates, free medical for not working and Obama and the democrats can still balance the budget. I'll send $X to support the RRS and admit I was wrong and socialism can work. If he can't deliver, the RRS should admit socialism can work and come up with a rational alternative to giving people money and welfare not to work. And stop allowing the RRS to be a haven for left wing hate speech.

Can you provide some sort of statistical survey to back up this assertion?

The point of this thread is funding for RRS, not your irrational economic fantasies.  You champion paying your way.  Since I don't see a subscriber badge I am assuming you are not paying.  Of course, I could be wrong as you could be donating or buying from the amazon wish list as you can.  Whatever your personal situation may be, please focus on the issue at hand.

You do realize how insane you sound, right?  Welfare works in many countries around the word.  Countries that are not in deficit and have balanced budgets or even surpluses and otherwise excellent economies have welfare programmes that work effectively at enabling people to get enough money to once again participate in society by finding work.  Many countries have heavily subsidized health care so that the citizenry get the important emergency and preventative health care they need.  Many countries tax their citizens relatively highly compared to the US to support the social systems that the majority in those countries believe are necessary to have healthy, happy, productive and secure societies.  Many of these same countries have generous income tax policies that ensure people do not overpay and to ensure that people who have overinvested into social security get refunded appropriately.

Honestly, EXC, if you think that for some reason socialism as is practiced by the rest of the first world can't work in the US, why is it that it works so effectively for the rest of the first world and why can't it work in the US?  Or, is it that you think, despite contrary evidence, that the socialism practiced in other countries doesn't work or that socialism in any form can't work?  I'd be interested in knowing your reasoning behind a belief like that.

Uh, and EXC... what makes you think that your going on welfare would effect the US national budget noticeably?

Oh, and to stay on topic: I'd love to support and will when I can.

Goddammit, EXC!  For the last (I'm really fucking serious about this) time, the majority of core members and mods are FUCKING LIBERTARIANS.  That's a conservative political view, you fucking dipshit.  I'm one of the more left leaning core members and I'm a fucking moderate. 

Accusations of hate speech are serious business, EXC.  If you're talking about Mattshizzle, I've already explained this to you.  He's far and away one of the most left-leaning posters here, and we don't let his violent rants go by without comment.  We go out of our way to let everyone have their say here without censorship, but that doesn't mean we let it go without comment.  Every single one of the core members and most of the mods have publicly disagreed with Matt, as they have publicly disagreed with you.  We will not tolerate your blatant mischaracterization of this site.

Again, this site leans libertarian, but not because of any endorsement.  That's just how the ball bounced.  Many of our posters lean libertarian.  I'm not libertarian.  Many of our posters are not.  Each one of us is responsible for his or her own opinions, and all are equally subject to public scrutiny and criticism.  You will not be permitted to continue lying about this site or the members.

1) I'm moderate.

2) I don't know who I'm voting for. I don't even know if I'm going to vote. It's not like my vote matters.

3) I don't support socialism. A system that offers no incentives to produce or create is flawed.

Holy shit! With over 700 posts, shouldn't you have learned enough about the website to avoid making this statement?   

 

Our revels now are ended. These our actors, | As I foretold you, were all spirits, and | Are melted into air, into thin air; | And, like the baseless fabric of this vision, | The cloud-capped towers, the gorgeous palaces, | The solemn temples, the great globe itself, - Yea, all which it inherit, shall dissolve, | And, like this insubstantial pageant faded, | Leave not a rack behind. We are such stuff | As dreams are made on, and our little life | Is rounded with a sleep. - Shakespeare
