I've watched a few cut clips of Kamala talking about distribution of resources. She calls it equitable distribution if i remember correctly.

Can someone explain to me, cause I'm mostly dumb, how she intends to, or what she means by that?

Sounds like "equality of outcome" to me. Sounds like co.....

Let me wait first...

Equality of outcome is why a Neurosurgeon and a cleaner should have the same outcome. When is she going to lead by example and let everyone have access to her standard of life?

This whole thing is weird. Attacking him for this. Attacking him for free lunches for school kids.
They are kids in school. Give them what they need to just focus on being kids in school.
The GOP is really really lost.

A shame of a party, you can't tell any good policies they stand for these days except for extremism

I know people are going to twist it to say she means because a neurosurgeon drives a Ferrari then a store clerk should too.

When equality of outcomes simply means that if a neurosurgeon shouldn’t die of hunger or lack of adequate healthcare then it should be the same for a low wage worker. Access to basic human needs shouldn’t be restricted to only the wealthy and high class.

Not dying of hunger lies in your hand not in the next person's pocket. Especially if you are not a minor, aged or disabled

She repeated it multiple times. Equality of outcomes is communism, your outcome depends on what you put into your life. I cannot expect to have the outcomes of Ronaldo

The guy driving a Ferrari did not get it gifted to him, he worked hard for it, he went to school for long years and was smart to start with. If I don't work as hard and not as smart as him, I should not expect his outcomes in life

Imagine budaatum posting a link here saying hamas is stronger since israel attacked them after October 7th despite the destruction of gaza and hamas leaders dying like flies. His argument was now they are fighting guerrilla warfare like, isn't the reason why they thought they can attack Israel, take hostages, kill somany IDF till they beg for a deal? They miscalculated because they built one or two rat holes but for some reason budaatum thinks they are stronger now than when the city and their weapons were all intact 😂

It's sad. Palestinians have wicked leaders because a majority of them are complicit. Hamas tunnels are why they are dying.

You don't need to be a billionaire to know that legislating equality of outcomes will destroy the society it's the same thing that destroyed all communist economies.

It's why American boxers at Olympics end up being rich from their talents and Cubans end up broke

Everywhere including the billionaires who gamble ro solve the toughest human challenges deserve to keep what they worked for which encourages them to do more and thus employ more people to help them get richer.
I don't get the left hate on billionaires and hating on success. Its against everything America is about, if it's easy everyone will become one. Everyone should aspire to be a billionaire and enjoy the socialism they are enjoying

Why will anyone want to be a neurosurgeon when you can be a cleaner and have the same outcomes

I’m not going to argue with you on a scenario that you made up. Pls give it a rest. I’ve learned not to allow conservatives gaslight and manipulate me into ring-around-the-rosy conversations that stem only from their interpretation of what they want to believe

Meanwhile you said in your earlier post that except if one is underage, old or disabled, they should be able to fend for themselves which I can state we all agree on.

Your favorite political party calls anything that caters to feeding children, taking care of the old and disabled as woke socialist communist idea.

We have no middle ground to discuss anything

You are free to run away when you are unable to defend your position. America is a prosperous nation and the desired destination of billions because everyone can become anything they want if they work hard and put what it takes not someone in govt striving to have equality in outcomes

My favourite party is one that promotes personal responsibility, you kill what you eat, you cater to the children you bring to the world, you plan for your old age when you are working. You dont give birth because you want the society to raise them for you. You work hard to get what you want out of life. Not blaming and pointing fingers at someone holding anyone down

Its personal responsibility

i.e. school. A kid that is developmentally challenged should get more resources so that they can graduate. I think that's how it works in my state at least.

Trying to debate you would mean that I’m validating you in saying this is true and you believe in personal responsibility and I don’t. Which is simply not true.

I and most democrats I know hold amazing jobs and pay our fair share into the society. If anything, red leaning republican states are the heaviest dependents on social welfare. It’s a fact. But you don’t care for that truth. None of you care for the truth as we’ve all come to realize.

But All we ask is that our tax dollars don’t go to give billionaires handouts just because they have the politicians in their pockets. Or to pad the pockets of war contractors who go around the world sowing discord so that they can profit from weapon sales.

We want our money to go towards funding education and meals for children, healthcare for everyone, real maternity benefits to encourage young people to have children like you guys so badly claim you want them to, improve disability benefits for disabled people, better wages to meet inflation and/or price regulation for these greedy corporations. You guys brown nose greedy thieves and tell yourselves you’re promoting personal responsibility. If you really care for personal responsibility you wouldn’t support oligarchs who are often given insane financial bailouts when they flop due to greed as they often do. What an irony.

You make up a truncated position and try to fit who you think is your opponent into the opposite box. Since I do not fit into the box you created and don’t stand for any of the things you’re claiming, it’s pointless trying to debate you. Because when you get cornered, you’ll make up another lie and try to start arguing on that. It gets exhausting.

You’re not a unique republican. I’ve been there and done that. It’s a waste of energy because a lot of you don’t live in the real world of facts.

And I’ve said enough!

Does that really sound like the current Republican Party. Or even self-made man Trump?
The Republican party is the party of the robber barons who have to spew this story to continue to syphon off wealth from the people who believe it.
Case in point, Elon Musk, how much of his success was due to Government subsidies or handouts?

Democrats have ruled 12 in the last 16yrs how many of these have they done? How many percentage of their own earnings are they paying as taxes?

If you want more in public coffers, you can volunteer to pay more, your tax bracket is just the minimum required, you can choose to pay more into it if you believe in what you preach

I know that’s what she means. Trust Republicans to knowingly misrepresent it. It’s simply giving kids a somewhat equal start in life to minimize disparity later in life just because some kids happen to be lucky based on the zip code they are born into due to no doing of theirs. We know that truly it can never be equal. We’re not delusional.

But We watch these poorer kids talents die and light go out of their eyes. While legacy kids with zero talent and even less intelligence get to have life handed to them from the beginning. Railroaded into success with no effort on their part. Talk about personal responsibility.

I don’t even care to listen to dissent on this topic because I know they don’t mean well. Throwing communism around because that’s what they’ve been told.

If you don’t know that the billionaire class haven’t been paying their fair share of taxes, you should have researched before talking about it. If you knew, then you’re choosing to lie.
