@vy @mekkaokereke @adamgreenfield we could go back to thomas paine giving all the money he made selling Common Sense to George Washington, who couldnt otherwise afford to start his army, and say the US wouldnt exist if it werent for one of the inventors of socialism
@vy @mekkaokereke @adamgreenfield we could also look at how the whigs used public money to fund the creation of the Erie Canal and say New York City became the epicenter it is today directly because of using public money for internal improvements
