A thrid world plutocracy (what we are becoming).
You think the rich people in this country have power? How do you explain the John Edwards trial?

A thrid world plutocracy (what we are becoming).
England..during the Monarchy.
Or Saudi Arabia.
Do you have any idea how stupid that makes you look? Saudi Arabia is, essentially, a socialist country. They even went so far as to plan large apartment communities for the Bedouins so they wouldn't have to wander around the desert.
It would look pretty much how it looks now. The only truly socialist countries are countries like Cuba and Venezuela where the government owns and runs pretty much everything. Just because we have some social programs and a social safety net does not really qualify us as being socialist.
Our country..from the very beginning..has been a blend of many ideas. It doesn't mean it's one thing or another..
And it's ridiculous, really, to harp on and on about socialism. The very nature of representative government..is socialist.
The complete opposite of that..is government that has no input from the general public. Like a Monarchy.
No railroads or highways or at east only a handful of them.
Same witrh schools and universities, hospitals, etc.
The national eletrical grid is socialist - it should be torn down and everyone produce their own electricity.
No it isn't, dipstick. It was privately built.
The Wild West.
The West wasn't as "wild" as numbskulls like you believe. Crime was actually quite low.
The American Old West was shitty for most people... that's my point idiot. I wasn't attributing it to your favorite children's Cowboys and Indians shows.
no nanny state dictating our lives...
The military is entirely Socialist, including the VA.
They worked incredibly hard, earned very little, had horrific diets, died very young, were drafted into countless wars, experienced extreme levels of subjugation.
What a douche.

It doesn't matter who built it, dude - it is run as a socialist system.
In a non-socialist system, electricity would be produced entirely by private companies with no involvement from the state. No funding, no subsidies, and no govt interference.

Or Saudi Arabia.

Are you an idiot? Saudi Arabia is NOT a socialist country. They have god damn religious police for crying out loud.

Get a job while I eliminate your minimum wage, lash out at the government making any attempt to encourage you to eat healthier, prevent you from obtaining affordable health care, send your children to Iraq and Afghanistan and Iran and chastize you in every way possible because you don't subscribe to my views.

Um....you might want to think it means when the US has the least distributed wealth of any country in the world excep Brazil.
How much of US wealth is controlled by the wealthiest 0.1?
It's difficult for me to visualize. Maybe some of you can help me see it...

Why is it so hard for people to understand the concept of socialism? Just because the government is involved in something does not make it socialist.

And a centrally planned economy, nationalized industries, and virtually no private ownership of property. What makes you think socialism has to be secular?
