By calling policies that take care of citizens like universal healthcare "handouts" (a pejorative term), you've proven my earlier point about Republicans oppressing the poor.

Rajk said people like you should be "executed".
You are telling us, then, that only the poor are receiving entitlements? A loser who was surfing in Hawaii every day was interviewed, had a big smile on his face., He told interviewer that at the end of the year he, without working, will have received$40,000 in entitlements. So, Im quite. comfortable calling that a handout, as comfortable as I am calling him a beggar.

The big question vivify..... what would you call him, and what would you call the entitlement? You are the worst at discerning the gist of a post.

So you finally admit to being emotional after years of denying it. Good start.

My comment was merely an opinion, nothing more. You being emotional frequently clouds your judgement (as well your poor reading comprehension). This could be why Duchess is the only one this forum who makes excuses for China's genocide. Funny how you never get emotional for the Muslims China oppresses.

My comment was not the least bit combative, and not the least bit confrontational. I thought me and Duchess were actually getting along amicably, and made my post with that belief.

Whatever Duchess. It was just a light opinion.

FMF, for different reasons, usually has more dislikes than likes on his posts; the only time this isn't the case is when he slams Duchess, like in this thread: Thread 189841. Duchess' reputation and character is quite poor.

OK, i am Commodore of the Thread. Cuba has not been mentioned in 2 pages. Class come to attention. Maybe predict the result of their movement. Long Live Batiste!!

And please dont get ahead of Duchess, she has yet to even answer my question of a week ago, ...is China a multicultural country. I think Cuba is not.

Of course not. So do the rich, especially when Trump was in office.

In communism productive processes are all owned by the people, owned, not controlled. The government controls it, and do it on behalf of the people
that's exactly like saying kings used to control everything on behalf of the people.

Duchess, not long ago, didn't know why China lets Hong Kong keep the little autonomy it has, arrogantly implying it was out of the goodness of China's heart to keep its word. After being educated that it's only because doing so rakes in money for China, Duchess' pride was shattered and she claimed she knew the answer all along.

The only thing that seems to unite liberals and conservatives, Americans and Europeans, atheists and theists, is unanimous agreement at what a terrible person Duchess is.

Some would say your post should include an apology,,,,it’s OK I have become thick-skinned, and actually have just begun a barricade, you libs bring it strong!

Edit: “So do the rich!!!” , you say, ! Gawdalmighty, you libs can fluff up the basic intent of another man’s post. You wrote me about the poor, and your follow up is about the rich! You don’t even mention the poor!!!! Hilarious!!!

Your question:

"You are telling us, then, that only the poor are receiving entitlements?"---Average Joe

You asked if I think anyone else *besides the poor* receive "entitlements", then complain when I answer if anyone else besides the poor receives entitlements.

Funny lot, you conservatives.

You say, top of page 3, “Republicans oppress the poor”. First, there is not a Republican alive who wants to oppress a person who is poor. Offensive statement by Vivify. If you read the whole para at top of this page, your statement read/implied that the entitlements are for the poor, and that we oppress the poor. You were wrong. They are for many people, (I call them losers) , not just the poor. Did you get and cash one or two $300 checks?

I don’t see where I asked if you think anyone else besides the poor receive entitlements. But what if I did? Don’t get you there, Anyway, I sure as hell showed you one who does. I’m thinking you may be that loser on the beach, You live and surf in Hawaii? Have you a viable frisbee community?

Back to Cuba, everyone,
. China and entitlements can be found on other threads.
So how is universal healthcare in Cuba working out? Do y’all know one way Cuba gets rich....They send a few thousand doctors to Europe, to aid in Covid. .Europe pays Cuba in US dollars and Euros. Castro (Raoul?) puts it in the safe over his bed. Raoul pays the doctors in Pesos, maybe even Cups. (a form of Cuban exchange, pronounced coops). With all the money the doctors ostensibly received, their pissant pesos have them continue to live eeeeeeequaaaallll in their society.
