Keep thinking like that and it's off to Room 101 for you...

I don't think so.  I have guns.   

This is why the Democrats have enjoyed so much support since the times of FDR. There are tens of millions of Americans that will never have this better than average job that allows them healthcare and retirement. The very tenants of Capitalism are antithetical to high quality living for all. To generate the highest possible profit from your capital investment. That means paying your workers the least you can get away with. This is why socialism even exists. If capitalism worked fantastically for everyone in society, there would be no purpose for socialism. This has never been the case anywhere in the world.

To dismiss socialism as just a corrupt ideal is to dismiss billions of people all over the world as hapless morons bound to their fate. For better, or for worse, the 19th and 20th centuries have created the environment for the hapless morons to organize and wield power. Savvy capitalists understand this and provide wages and benefits to their workers so they can keep socialism at bay. You find this most often in privately held companies and corporations. Publicly traded corporations and the stock market is where you see the break down between capital and human being.

You're wrong Dave.  Plain wrong.  I'll tell you why.  Capitalism isn't perfect, but it is MERIT based and offers the most opportunity overall.  What socialism does is give GOVERNMENT all the power over you.  They control you, and their motivation is not to help you but sustain and grow themselves.  Power and wealth gets further consolidated to fewer, and fewer while a few crumbs get passed along to the populace.  Government is not merit or performance based.  They are not held accountable in the market place.  They DO NOT HAVE TO operate efficiently, or do a good job. 

Anemic, but the Democrat/Progressives always point to how great the "stock market" is doing.  What rate of return did the major markets get in 2015?  I'll tell you.  They were flat, and now trending downward.  Which means with inflation people lost money, and had effective negative returns. 

This economy sucks, and has sucked for the last 8 years or more.  Look at wage "growth".  That's negative also.  Look at laobor participation, not the phony unemployment "rate". 

The right wants to get rid of government and go back to an old imagined ideal place.

Ahhh, no.  The Right wants LIMITED GOVERNMENT, and less wasteful spending.  The Right wants the Constitution to matter, and for the Federal Government to be less powerful than the states. 

We don't need a full time Congress.  It needs to be limited and part time. 

That's not socialism, that's being smart.  Socialism is the centralization of an economy and its production.  Armies, police and fire by necessity fall under the control of government, that isn't socialism and we won't let you redefine the term to make it seem innocuous.   Health care, food production, energy production, manufacturing and pretty much everything else are best left to markets, where the weak producers fall by the wayside and the successful are rewarded. There are example after example of socialist failures throughout history and even in modern times.

Also, things like National Defense and interstate commerce were signed off on by the states in the Constitution.  We accepted those things for the greater good, and because it makes sense.  That other socialist crap doesn't and was NOT AGREED TO by the states.  Remember, we are a collection of states first, not the Oligarchy we've become.

Steingar doesn't understand the Constitution, nor the basic concepts of our country.  He's been brainwashed by his cultural bias, and the faculty lounge. 

Stacey Dash is not only hot, but she has her head on straight. 

Young = low wing

Old = High wing so your bald spot doesn't get sunburned.

I just wear a hat.  lol!
