You can always consider a move to AnCapistan. Oh wait a minute, that's an imaginary place. Drat, thwarted again.

Regarding Amsterdam residents, you said:

When quite clearly, you DON'T. Otherwise, you'd voluntarily be paying the same combined (income, social program, VAT) federal tax rates Amsterdam residents do.

Hypocrite: one who "claims" to believe in something but doesn't follow through in their deeds or actions.

You most certainly implied so:

You've been dishonest multiple times. Your credibility is shot.

When I was in Marseille I got a weird vibe from the people, but I'm sure France is very safe overall. Then again that was also quite some time ago, so I'm not too sure how much has changed in the past 8 years. Though quite a bit, I'm sure.

Lol, don't stretch so hard, you'll hurt your tendons.

Yes, "I believe society should take better care of one another" = pick up and move to another country to prove my values OR voluntarily hand over more money to the IRS. Then you get your rocks off by calling me names. Oooooo. Ooooooo.

You're a trip. Love you P&OC rats, so entertaining.

Actually, the title say "Socialism kills". Keep trying.

Those terms are also frequently misused and inaccurate. You can't fit everybody into two boxes regardless of the labels. Lot's of people have some views that align with liberals and some views that align with conservatives.

Lies, lies and more lies.

You want to know what causes class inequality?

I already know. It's mostly government programs.

So you dig out a month-old post from the Religion forum that has to do with Fundamentalist vs. Liberal Christianity--not politics--and then claim I am dishonest about what I wrote in this thread.

This gets better with every post.

That's what I get. Billy Joel said not to argue with you.

Not true at all. Socialism is terrible. But it's even worse when you run out of other people's money.
