    They mostly dont want a full on socialist government. They DO want a social democracy like Europe. It works out great if you are in one of the classes that gets the good subsidized protected jobs. Everyone else just gets the handouts.

    Now heres whats tricky and the less informed about the nuances dont understand...business especially big business makes a lot of money in a social democracy. It isnt business against government.

    Quantitative easing by the Fed is keeping the banks and markets flush with cash and profits. Eventually they will have to stop artificially inflating the economy and things will get real.

    Or how about this:

    All of the Democratic politicians speaking out about wealth distribution and corrupt, greedy, corporations are............millionaires themselves.

    Add to that fact that those same Dems also take every damn tax break they can find just like everyone else. Something they bitch about and demonize everytime they get a chance.

    But a lot of them weren't millionaires until they got elected. Figure that one out... :p


    That explains the power of public office. Also explains how Obama's first campaign managed to acquire such significant donations and financial backing that they ended up spending over $900 MILLION on his first campaign.......for a $450k/yr job. Yeah, definitely nothing corrupt going on there. LOL

    I agree with the way you guys called this. In Socialism, everyone gets the same, has the same, has the opportunity to get the same. The Jokers in Washington don't want that. They want all of the benefits available and they toss the crumbs to the rest of us.

    Do you think Feinstein is going to give up her gun? Hell, no! She wants you to give up YOUR gun and control it so she forces you to do so.

    Socialism works well in an ant colony. Humans were meant to be something more than insects. The Crust - the rich, powerful, and connected - have decided to embrace socialism as a means of controlling the dirty masses while preserving their place at the top of the heap. The Crust looks after the The Crust; politicians make sure their buddies are well taken care of. Obamacare is a prime example of that. It's hardly in place and already the corruption is spread through every aspect of it - websites that don't work because contracts went to buddies instead of competent developers, "guides" that steer enrollees to companies that take care of "The Party", etc

    Obamacare was never about health care; it was always about control. Congress doesn't give a rat's ass about health care - they've got their own plan and it's platinum!

    Sadly, the sheeple in this country have been dumbed down to a point where they think they need the government to run their lives for them and they are completely willing to turn over their freedom and their wealth to the government in exchange for being allowed to exist. I weep for our children and grandchildren and I am deeply ashamed of the world we are leaving them.

    I love how the Obamas went from a comfortable 6 figure income to several million a year after they got into the White House. Hmm, how did that happen?
