listen up... you will not find any post in my backlog inferring socialism is bad or "dirty". Those are your words and very defensive I might add. Some are hailing the Chinese system as the new way. 9 men in a room decide where the peasants will go today and where the capital will flow tomorrow. Worked pretty good the last 20 years, huh? Let's see how it goes the next several. It is not my place to condemn, only observe. The problem with any Central Planning, the kind we have with the Federal Reserve 9 men in a room playing God or the U.S.S.R. or any other, MEN are not capapable of being God. I hope you are not so silly as to think there is any system that is "Winner take all".. Even Kings have Lords and Ladies in their court. Any system of government where just a few at the top decide what the rest will do or get is where moral hazard destroys opportunity. Any Big Government will eventually be corrupt. Can we agree on the increasing corruption of our big government both (D) and (R)? I am a proponent of Thomas Jefferson Liberty and Justice for all. glty hge
