Show me where I conceded that.

It might have been miami. Anyway, we know your policies don't work. I can see that in my home state.

First off, Tang you focused on the income inequality portion of the article. I am not sure why people give a crap about income equality. It's irrelevant how much the top has. What matters is that the bottom is able to provide for their family.

Second, California policies, for whatever reason have led to a state of very high poverty rates. They might want to reevaluate their political beliefs as they are definitely not working.

Bernie built a platform around free education. California has this for low income earners and has indisputably the best college system in the country and yet still has all of these issues. Socialism just doesn't work.

Yeah and as I said Cali has high housing prices. That would make it harder to stabilize. Tons of other factors.

Cali isn't socialist. They are somewhat a social democracy. We know social democracy works elsewhere, as you yourself have conceded.

Name one place it works?

So, Kansas has a higher poverty rate than California?

Tang, it appears that "my" policies do work based on your state. Kansas is 10th in the country in lowest Supplemental poverty rate. You always bash your state, but it is doing much better than the "liberal" states.

California's poverty rate is 23.8% when adjusted for cost of living. Think about that. That's almost 1/4 of the people despite having more economic potential than any other state in the country. It has a beautiful coast, many tourism attractions, Silicon Valley, Hollywood.

And more to what you were saying, Tang. Look at many large cities. They have been ran by democrats for many years and are in terrible shape.

So yes. I would say "my" policies do work better.

I didn't say that.

I know you never said that. I was showing you the flaw in your logic.

Nope. Those are purely capitalist countries with some social policies. Also please let me know the % of non-scandanavians? Very homogeneous with tough immigration policies. The US has socialist programs too. SSI, Medicare, Medicaid.

Yeah, you are wrong. Kansas is in a **** ton of debt and we have terrible infersstructure and education.

Yes. Mo

Those are purely capitalist countries with some social policies

That is social democracy.

Yeah, they aren't socialist. They are social democracies. Capitalist.

Point is what works there would not work here.

Nationalized Healthcare is a myth.
