This drawing originally had a communist flag.

@Demaster: it doesn't make any sense to label the picture as Republican.
Republicans have no affiliation and no agreement with the communist or national socialism (Nationalsozialismus or Nazi) movements.

I understand your thought process, you don't like Nazis and you don't like Republicans, thus Nazis must be Republican.

I know I'm feeding the trolls here, but I've gotta point out that idealistically, Democratic policies are *more* similar to national socialist or communist policies than Republican ones.

Just sayin

@Kbman: had he now ?

@Demaster: I wish I could FUCK YEAH your FUCK YEAH if you were making a Team America reference.
"Republicans FUCK YEAH"

@Demaster: Original: 1 sticker.
Remix: adds a single word, 187 stickers

canvas, what the fuck

@Anonymous: i know that feel

@Anonymous: But honestly, anything on this thread is a waste of a FUCK YEAH

@Anonymous: well, that word wasn't in the original and people obviously find it noteworthy with the word added, so... yeah, you're kind of being an elitist right now.

@Anonymous: Couldn't have said it any better myself. Thank you.

@Anonymous: Neither are the democrats...

@Anonymous: If we relied on the kind of people who, for example, worked at Enron to do the jobs typically performed by government employees, your mail would be on fire every morning for a week prior to a new service option appearing in your contract. That service option, "Mail not on fire" would cost roughly 400% of the original terms.

If Mass Transit ran the way private companies are allowed to run ISP companies, not only would the busses not run on time but you'd be paying the equivalent of a bus a month to share your ride with that guy who masturbates to child pornography on the seats.

There are things that the private sector is good at, like providing services to self-selecting groups.

Providing services to the general public is not on that list.

I do not have a clever picture for this.

Enron fraudulently called California power stations and told them to shut down in the summer, causing the state to experience blackouts instead of rolling brownouts, and then selling their own electricity back to them at a markup that would, I assume, stagger you, since you clearly don't recall this.

I also have to assume that someone else pays for your internet, since you've obviously never had dealings with an ISP.

UPS and FedEx provide a specialized service, and you pay for that premium. The USPS gets it there for everyone. Privately owned apartments are also often in terrible condition, and nothing you've said actually provides a counterargument to anything I've said. Let me repeat.

Private companies are good at providing service to a client base.

They are not good at providing service to everyone. Building roads and sewers and taking a postcard from bumfuck, Illinois to gatortaint, Louisiana is not a profitable business. These things do, however, have to be done in a civilized society, and that's WHY WE HAVE A GOVERNMENT. It is EXPLICITLY for those things no one group can afford to pay for, or wants to pay for, but which provide for the common good.

Do you think, by the way, that FedEx and UPS would be doing half as well as it is if their trucks didn't have an interstate highway system to drive on? Or airports in every major city to fly into and out of? Or someone watching the skies at each airport to make sure the planes didn't ram into each other?

Someone, I should point out, that they don't have to bribe, just as the cost of doing business, because otherwise the private Air Traffic Controller, Inc employee gives priority to FedEx's competitor who DID think to set up a slush fund or whatever other bullshit loophole applies?

You DO NOT JUDGE a government program's success by whether it's PROFITABLE. You judge it by whether it ENABLES OTHER THINGS to be profitable or effective.

Repeat after me:
The governm…
