Title: All the Money is in the Wrong Hands
Post by: Ben on January 11, 2019, 05:28:27 PM
They don't even hide it anymore. DeBlasio on 1) confiscating buildings from landlords he doesn't like and making them non-profits and 2) There's plenty of money out there to do all the things he wants, it's just in the wrong hands.

Exactly demonstrating why socialism is evil.

"There’s plenty of money in the world. Plenty of money in this city," Mayor de Blasio said. "It’s just in the wrong hands!"

Also, I'm sick and tired of people like this being called "Robin Hood". A corrupt government took money from citizens. Robin Hood took the money from the corrupt government and gave it back to the citizens. DeBlasio would not be Robin Hood. He would be the guy Robin Hood takes from.

Yes, De Blasio is the Sheriff of Nottingham, or more likely Prince John.

I also read something yesterday about this jackass going on a national tour of cities to tell them how great New York is and how they can be just like NYC. Exactly the favorite conversation in pretty much every city/state in the country: someone from somewhere else condescendingly telling them, "We do it this way in X."

I want to break open the coffers of the wealthy and let us use it to save ourselves.

Worked great.

Oh come on! Stop with the sarcastic negativity! You know there were problems caused by malcontents there. We're going to get it right this time!

72 billion a year in extra taxes vs. 5 thousand billion a year to pay for this program.  We'll have that paid off in no time!

Their failures were due to the people of the USSR not being up to the challenge of implementing the otherwise brilliant plans.

Our American elites have taken that into consideration and believe that the American “can do!” spirit emanating from our magic dirt will bring about the workers paradise.

They’ve factored in the malcontents and are quickly replacing them with new Americans who will usher us into the glorious future!

Not really.  Robin Hood also robbed wealthy merchants:
