« on: January 25, 2016, 06:18:51 AM »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.
