BEFORE anyone supports a more socialist economy, bear in the mind that MOST of the CAPTAINS OF INDUSTRY benefit from the SOCIALISM already in place far more than all the welfare recipients combined.

My suggestion is that we clean up government before we give it any more power.

How do we do that?

How about the death penalty to any government official or private interest which conspires to screw over the American taxpayer by fraud?

Think Halliburton, for examples of the insiders no-bid socialist fruads that make the rich richer with the help of a corrupt government.

Of course that solution will never happen, folks.

Our entire system of government and business is designed to rake money from the working class to give it to the capital class.

Isn't this all fairly obvious to most of us be we right moderate OR left?

The Soviets tried pure socialism and look how well that worked out for them.

The USA tried purer capitalism and it took the great depression ( and the threat of a communist revolution) before FDR modified capitalism and government enough to even have a viable middle class.

What's the solution?

There is no solution, folks.

We're just bad monkeys...all of us.
