No you didn't. “Welfare state” isn't “social security paid with US debts”…

Well, what is your alternative definition of welfare state that implies it has been hollowed out versus the one before the 80ies despite massive increase in funding? You so far have provided zero data on either welfare state or living standards. Or tax burden on the rich, that has stayed stable or increased thru the main bogeyman, the 80ies top rate cuts.

  • Maybe you should try spending a little more time reading about basic stuff (like what is “welfare state” or “working class”) before having strong opinions and waste time in internet arguments.

    Claiming you back your argument with data is a bit awkward when you admit don't even understand the basic concepts.

    But hey, you do you.

    • Ah, here comes the adhominem again with zero info. Your delusions do not work for any reasonable definition of working class or welfare state.

      In one thing you are right; long long time ago, when I had too much free time, I spent some of it arguing with creationists. Compared to that, arguing with modern leftists is a waste of time - the latter are so much less connected to reality.
