    No matter which party controls the government, we're still going to have both public and private sectors.

    Nobody who can't deal with both socialism and capitalism is capable of governing this nation.

    Under-educated people react to scary words instead of actually understanding what the words mean.

    No wonder the right has no commitment to properly funding public education.

    A low information electorate is the only thing keeping the Republican Party alive.

    There are no socialist countries and no capitalistic. They are all a mix. What we are arguing about is what that mix should be. You are off the rails arguing about a boogieman that does not exist.

    Sometimes it almost seems like everything the right knows about socialism, it learned from Rush Limbaugh and Ann Coulter.

    I know there are people on the right who know better, but since we don't hear from them very much (would be labelled RINO) then we get these persistent 'alternative' non-facts as their basis.

    The Conservative Myths, they die hard.

    Hello Mason,

    OK, I had to click on that thing to get it big enough to read it.

    "Everywhere you will find that the wealth of the wealthy springs from the poverty of the poor."

    I know it is easy to believe that, but it is not an absolute rule. Look at Norway. It's a rich socialist nation. They don't have poverty, but they have wealth. What they do have is a compassion for life and sharing. They work together to lift themselves up.
