Liberals are guided by their emotions - logic plays no part in the debate.
It is one thing to be idealistic but yet another entirely to be idealistically stupid! There is not a single point in history where one can point to the success of Marxism, Socialism, Communism or Fascism - not one!
Yet liberals continually advocate for a system that has failed dozens of times and caused the deaths of millions of innocent people. Go figure...
Clearly not the sharpest knives in the drawer!

You would think those attending a convention would have a little more snap, though, than someone you just picked off the street.

There are many things that there shouldn't be a profit on. Anything that comes from the earth, anything we need to live in our communities, anything we need to move on as a species. So that would pretty much cover food, water, energy, education, housing, health care etc. Don't confuse profit with earned payment. Profit is the excess between the value of work done and the amount charged for that work.
Lots of things shouldn't have profits eliminated. That would be just about anything that qualifies as a want rather than a general need.

Both sides do this all the time.
What I would love to see, but know I never will, is a uneditted video.
Unless it came to fisticuffs, people just wouldn't watch.
Common sense should, but never will go viral.

Well...attempting to tax away profits isn't working so well for them. Guess banning is the only option left....
