I think you are thinking of something else! Yeshua is what I saw! Not this one!
In the UK the police force was started by a Conservative (Conservative is the opposite of Socialist, socialists are AKA the Labour Party in the UK).

Many of the things that you have noted (although not quite all) are provided through local taxation. If one is entirely uncongenial to it., then one may simply move elsewhere.
And I am certainly not arguing against all taxation. To pretend that I am is to offer up a strawman argument.
So I will ask you again: âAnd where is your evidence that Americans, as a whole , prefer a high-tax/high service society to a low-tax/tax/meager service society?â
(As I have noted previously, many would be happy for others to pay more in taxesâespecially âthe richââbut I have no evidence that most middle-class people would be happy to pay more in taxes, themselves): Americans want the wealthy and corporations to pay more taxes, but are elected officials listening? | Brookings
Yea our politicians fucked the working class and funded Communist Chinaâs take over !
CHINAâS GROWING INFLUENCE: IS AMERICA GETTING LEFT BEHIND?July 2019OUTPACING U.S. INVESTMENTS IN DIPLOMACY AND DEVELOPMENTâ Belt and Road. China is expected to spend over $1 trillion on its âBelt and Roadâ initiative â seven times the size of the Marshall Plan in real dollars. This initiative is already building new markets for Chinese goods and increasing Chinaâs economic connectivity from Asia to Europe to Africa to the Americas, encompassing more than 60% of the worldâs population and one-third of global GDP. China has invested in 42 ports in 34 countries around the world and recently convinced Italy, the first G7 country, and Luxembourg to join the initiative.â New Chinese Development Institutions. China launched a new ministry-level development agency â the China International Development Cooperation Agency (CIDCA) â to better coordinate and advance its commercial and foreign policy interests around the world. China also launched the Asian Infrastructure Investment Bank in 2014 which already has 93 member states, including many of Americaâs strategic allies.â Debt-Trap Diplomacy? Chinaâs financing for infrastructure development around the world has created strategic dependencies in countries unable to repay the loans.â When Sri Lanka faced major debt problems stemming from a Chinese-financed port project, Beijing negotiated a swap of the debt for a 99-year lease on the strategic Hambantota Port, giving China control over a key trade and shipping route in its Belt and Road Initiative.â Chinese infrastructure investments have left many other countries â including Djibouti, Ecuador, Kyrgyzstan, Mongolia, and Montenegro â at significant risk with large debts owed to China. These concerns have led several countries such as Pakistan, Malaysia, Myanmar, Bangladesh, and Tanzania to scale back their commitments to the initiative.https://www.usglc.org/media/2018/04/USGLC-Fact-Sheet-Chinas-Growing-Influence.pdf

Yes itâs the Yeshua video. The account also has been removed so itâs a moot point! Apparently twatter doesnât like people criticising the Gov of California
Yes of course, whatâs the point, a tax is a tax is a tax, and the collective pays these taxes for the goods and services that they want.
Tell me where one can move to where thereâs no local taxes?
There is some minuscule percentage of Americans that donât and sell out to leave for countries with lesser tax burdens. But most Americans like the America they have and remain.
I want to retire in MonacoâŚat some point. No taxesâŚgreat weather.

Please tell me where I have ever said that I oppose all taxation. (The answer is quite simple: I have not said that. Nor do I believe it.)
But I donât think I accused you of thatâŚ
Well, the story never indicated how many congressional fact finding missions there had beenâŚ

Iâve (weâve) seen plenty of examples of that being practiced in the sanctuary cities and between the tent cities, addiction ---- not to mention municipal partnership opportunities literally chased off by socialist rhetoric. People like you always cite the couple of countries that have enjoyed a bit of success as democratic socialists yet those same countries have been predominantly white cultures - nothing like the USA. You will also notice as those same countries, as they become increasingly diverse due to foreign nationals, are suffering from the simple fact that when you try to divide the wealth equivalently amount every citizen, you suffer under the burden caused by those that will never contribute and only take what they can get.
In other wordsâŚand I oversimplify here, I want to be just wealthy enough to have all my necessities for the rest of my life and enough to help others significantly when disaster strikes or who are disabled or truly destitute. I do NOT like being forced to give lots of money to pay for peopleâs bad decisions. (like refusing to work when able-bodied, or keeping oneâs reproductive system functioning when one already cannot feed oneâs current kids, or people who spend $700+++ on their hairdo every month AND collect food stamps. I could drive a Land Rover for $700 a month FFS!
The US works because it is a REPUBLIC. It was designed as a republic - itâs lands are divided into states like a Republic - Each state governs itself and elects its own electoral to assure the specific needs of their constituency is met. Otherwise you have something that resembles the former U.S.S.R. The USSR was created by the tyranny of the majority. Something our electoral college prevents from happening. If we didnât have that, New York and California would decide every election.
So attaching the word DEMOCRATIC to SOCIALISM I am sure doesnât mean what you think it means.

And sometimes many children . . .
I understand he runs a 1-man bakery for a living, but donât ask how he can support 22 sprogs and 2 adults on selling a few loaves of bread. Itâs fecklessness like this, not to mention the irresponsibility of hastening the coming global population explosion, which makes socialism fine in theory but not in practice.
Interesting, do you think the lack of innovation might have something to do with the generations who donât know history or what hard work is? We never once had a problem with capitalism until the definition became perverted through the Democratic Party. Our population didnât fall off, inventions were prolific, and no one was against capitalism because they understood it. This is a generational issue where certain persons believe life gains are immediate and unfortunately societal inability to understand and provide good customer service.
You have to know what a personâs needs are to invent something that would survive the scrutiny of capitalism.

Welcome to the forum.
As long as capitalism is properly regulated, not many are against it.
A lot of truth to your post.
