I am not saying you don't see the folly of capitalism (pure or diluted) I just wonder if you do why you seem to spend so little time talking about that and so much teaming screaming the "s" word. Just curious.
I suppose you'll have to find all the posts of mine "screaming" about socialism. I've noticed you do this quite a bit, making large scale accusations and providing zero proof for them, even when challenged to do so. There are some very good uses for socialism such as supporting our elderly or those who, by dint of medical issues, simply cannot support themselves. In a pure capitalist system those people would always be ground under foot or forgotten. Of course, capitalism has it's good points as well, it spurs innovation, promotes competition and rewards productivity. It's why I stated Matt and I are on the same page on this issue as we both believe a hybrid system works best. Now, as to what percentages each form is given, on that we probably disagree somewhat, hence my Bernie comment.
That being said do you have more accusations to hurl my way? Just curious.
