Memes-Propaganda
This has some examples of Propaganda meme's that are popular, like those from US Uncut (the "Opposite of America") series. But ThinkProgress, MoveOn, OccupyDemocrats all use the same disinformation that is black propaganda. Despite claims that they're "grass roots", they are astroturf: sponsored directly or supported by Soros organizations. Memes-Propaganda : 8 items
Control the media, or the media controls us.
They have a lower debt than we do (28% of GDP vs ≈100%), but they have a lower corporate tax rate than the U.S. does too, so perhaps that's the cause of the lower debt? They do have a ≈78% surcharge on oil/energy (which is why gas costs $10/gallon), but they collect a lot more of their tax revenue from VAT tax than from oil or corporations, so taxing oil profits isn't why they have a low debt ratio. Their social programs are capped based on tax revenues, unlike ours: perhaps we should look at doing that?
One problem: Iceland bailed out its banks, at about five and a half times times the relative costs that the U.S. did!
Switzerland currently has no minimum wage and no limits on CEO pay and bonuses!
A more accurate statement is that while Finish teachers earn less than American ones, their doctors earn about the same as our teachers. And they aren't the best in the world, unless you measure time for recess.
That homeowner is as clueless as the people that believe that quote. Solar energy only generated 3% of Germany’s entire energy supply – and between 3-10% of their electricity, not 50%. -- and they have some of the most expensive power in the world because of those subsidies.
Actually, the U.S. spends more on education than on the military, it just doesn't do it at the federal level (most is at State and Local). The U.S. spends more per student than the average Cuban income, and Cuba spends so little on the military, because they're a small Island that got military subsidies from USSR and Venezuela.
Walmart is a low income and low margin businesses (across all of America). Costco is "Walmart for the Wealthy" in select areas, and thus brings in more revenue per worker (3x as much), keeps more of it for themselves, even with higher worker salaries. The real choice is whether you want workers to have jobs at Walmart or be on unemployment.
