13293416, White House releases "The Opportunity Cost of Socialism"
Posted by Walleye, Tue Oct-23-18 09:44 AM
They're scared. Whose wealth are you going to enjoy expropriating most?

no need to get upset this early in the morning

13293423, Smart, because the first 2-3 pages repeat themselves...

... almost immediately. Like, I thought I had scrolled incorrectly but it turned out that I was just reading a slightly expanded version of the same thing. I'm grading papers in between trying to slog through this thing and I actually prefer my students' work, which is ... not strong.

13293427, Haha I don't think they're scared at all.

13293429, That must be they're outright lying about M4A

Because they *don't* view programs to improve people's material conditions as a threat to their wealth. And why tomorrow we'll have a sixty page refutation of Catholic Integralism - because this dumb paper was just an academic exercise in evaluating different political philosophies.

13293434, I don't think those are the only two possibilities.

I think, as always, they're being proactive because it's served them well thus far. They see (a) movement(s) building that could *become* (a) threat(s) if they don't nip it(them) in the bud so they're covering their bases.
So I don't think they're "scared" yet ... just doing what they have been doing, because it's been working.

13293471, Exactly...they are playing the long game AND

drumming up some 'Murrican fear for the election.
Maybe a few red blooded god fearing 'Murricans out there who weren't going to vote this cycle, end up voting to stop soshalism...cuz...freedom.
They aren't scared of sh!t. Why would they be?
