I plan on doing a video on this soon. Let me know if you have any suggestions.
Capitalist vs Socialist: Cutting
cap: Hello, I’m a Capitalist.
soc: And I’m a Socialist. So, smart guy, you say the government’s spending too much? That we need to cut spending rather than raise taxes? Well, then what would you cut?!
cap: This question is a trap. If I name anything specifically, then you will attack me for supposedly not caring about the welfare of these special interest groups. In reality, we both probably share very similar values as far as who we think needs a helping hand. It’s just that I disagree that we should hold a gun up against our neighbors heads and demand that they spend their money the way we want them to; which is EXACTLY what the government is. Such an action will only end up hurting the people you’re trying to help.
soc: WHAT WOULD YOU CUT?!
cap: Everything.
soc: Everything?!
cap: Yes. Everything. There is not one single thing that the coercion of a government can do that the voluntarism of a free market cannot do better.
soc: So you want the old, the sick, the poor, and the uneducated to starve and die on the streets? You don’t support our troops?! You want us to live in Mad Max chaos with no police, fire departments, courts, or politicians?!
cap: *blank look*
