Is this the world Republicans want?
I world where companies control your lives by paying you nothing for a 60 hour work week. If you are disabled you can not work or get healthcare since it is so expensive. They do not pay you enough to get an education and try to get a better job so you are forced to do that one job. Poverty is the only thing you will see in the pace you live along with disease and inadequate housing. You realize that the only people that have control are people with money so people will have less and less a say on what government does. Children work as soon as they can which is the age of five. The only rights that exists are the rights of corporations.
How close am I, and if i am not tell me one policy the republicans advocate to prevent this
@the anti-socialist exactly!!! which is why we need the best balance between socialism and capitalism
@david of course that is the not the current state, but what is am saying is that is the direction of what the republicans are bringing and of course no one wants that, i can get a job that pays been well enough for healthcare and education but what happens to the people who cant. will just calling them socialist help them?
@david you are exactly right productive work generates value, and education develops productive work, so should we focus on increasing productivity? i.e. increasing education

Cute hype, but anyone can do that....
A world where government controls your lives by paying you nothing for a 60 hour work week. If you are disabled you can not work or get decent health care because of waiting lists and rationing. They provide you a substandard education and force you to do the job they provide. Poverty is the only thing you will see in the place you live along with disease and inadequate housing. You realize that the only people that have control are people in government, so people will have less and less a say on what government does. Children work as soon as they can which is the age of five. The only rights that exists are the rights of government power brokers.

Pick an issue, state your socialist opinion, and let me blow it out of the water!

John,
No one I know of has ever advocated that. I do note, however, your assumed state of victimhood. How silly and weak you must be. If a company won't pay you for the value you generate then go work somewhere else. 60 hours or 80 hours or 100 hours a week doesn't necessarily generate value. Productive work generates value. If you have skills then you will do well. If you have no skills then you can whine on YA about what a victim you are.

Companies are not responsible for taking care of you. You are responsible for taking care of you.
.
I worked for 41 years and got laid off 6 times. But I took care of me and the family.
.
So go work. If its not enough get a better job.

Or move to Cuba .. your ideal I guess .. government control, health care of a sort, No giant corporations to reduce cost. Average worker gets $20/month and gas is $5.72/gallon. Government is rich and the people are poor. Is this what you are advocating?
