I was thinking all but the local level organizations since they are required to run, at least usually, under a balanced budget.

Even China saw stagnant economic growth under one party Marxist ideals and it took a market driven approach for the to reach where they are now. Why we would aspire to be like pre-1980 China or Soviet cold war era is beyond me

The theme of the thread is "A Little Socialism Won't Hurt You".

Do any of those things mentioned in the list hurt you?

If so, which ones?

What are you TALKING about? Who ever said anything about hurting?

It's called MEANINGLESS...look it up

Keep ****ing laughing.

I guess you don't read the news everyday. No sweat off my tits.

You're an idiot. You are catching exactly what you deserve.

No quarter here for morons.

I'm not ****ing around anymore on off-topic. I'm calling ALL of you MoFoS OUT!

Gloves are OFF. We're burning this mother****er down in PROTEST baby!

I was being sincere and respectful. I have never called you a name.

So I will stop posting until everyone cools off -- assuming that it will eventually happen.

And I also want to add that I apologize for upsetting you. That was not my intent. My intent was to post ideas and discuss them, not to make people angry. So I apologize.

This is a PEACEFUL PROTEST.

Not upset here.

THIS IS WHAT PEACEFUL PROTEST LOOKS LIKE.

I try to post things that are thought provoking -- like the vicious ad that was made by some democratic group that was anti-trump. I posted it because it shows what this election is turning into. I saw the same sorts of things last election, but they were mainly targeted at Hillary. This cycle I notice they are mostly targeted toward Trump, although, Biden gets his fair share.

I get it that people are passionate, but if things aren't civil on this message board where everyone is more or less familiar with each other then it's easy to see how bad it's going to get as the election approaches.

If everyone can just take a step back and realize the pendulum swings both ways and accept it then it would be better for everyone. The problem is that everyone wants the pendulum to stay on their side.

I don't mind if you disagree with what I post, but when you call me an idiot that doesn't make me want to post here or be a part of this community and maybe that's because you don't want me posting here or to be a part of the community. If that's the case then just say it and I'll stop posting and close my account. I am certain no one will miss me.

When the far right accepted Palin-ism, the bullshit about the "lame stream media", they learned constantly how to re-write history as it happens. Your king "Donald the False" learned this lesson well from Sarah. The word "hoax" became a political philosophy for you gullible Trump/Palinite loyal soldiers.

You despicable leftists even want to usurp parents' rights to raise their kids the way they see fit. Leftist perverts are so preoccupied with sex that you want to rob little kids of their innocence by sexualizing them and teaching to masturbate, cross-dress, etc.

Not so when I share the Gospel of Christ. I share it and let everyone decide for themselves.

As I told Horsey, pull the freakin' beam out of your own eye before presuming to point to splinters in anyone else's!

When fanatics like you want to teach the earth is 6,000 years old and evolution is a hoax, you insult our intelligence.

Wanting to pass laws making it acceptable to teach this in public schools insult our children.

Funny you should bring up Sarah Palin.
Now that I think about it, she's one of the few
people on earth that give Trump a smidge of credibility.
Just a smidge, mind you.

So what say you on the left about people who disagree with you???
You just force your ideology upon them !!!

No real liberal would bother with such frivolous silliness. However when was the last time you saw a leftie marching with weapons to make a stupid point?

Can you spell "assholes on parade"?

What I don't appreciate is your patronizing tone...asking if something that you posted "hurt" me after I ask why you post things that to me, are essentially meaningless...I never even hinted at being "hurt." I assure you, I'm not as fragile as you appear to be.

Then you follow it up with the cute little "guess I caught you on a bad day"....when up until that point, I have given no indication that it was a bad day.

Nobody says you need to click on off-topic. It's a horse racing board first and foremost. If you have no interest in racing and you can't handle off-topic, that's perfectly fine with me. Thank you for your contributions and I wish you well.
