POST A COMMENT
According to a Gallup poll conducted (http://www.gallup.com/poll/158978/democratsrepublicans-diverge-capitalism-federal-gov.aspx) November 18-19, more than half of Democrats (53%) approve of socialism, which isnt surprising, but almost one-quarter of Republicans (23%) also do. What the poll reveals is that there is a significant difference between the reality of what voters approve and their reactions to terms that represent those realities. For example, Democrats favor the federal government over capitalism by 20 percentage points, yet they approve of small business almost unanimously, at a 94% level. When asked about big business, Democrats approval rate drops all the way to 44%. But when the term free enterprise is used instead of capitalism, 88% Democrats approve of it. This indicates that capitalism is a loaded term for Democrats and that the left has demonized the very word. Even among Republicans, there is a significant drop when big business is compared to small business; small business gets an approval rate of 95% while big business gets 75%. The apparent prejudice against corporations and capitalism that has been nurtured by those on the left for decades has borne bitter fruit; the inference that can be drawn from the approval of small business and disapproval of big business indicates that many Americans dont mind success up to a point, but let someone get too successful and envy and anger seep in. This class warfare nurtured by the left has given us the success of Barack Obama.

A lot of caring, silly little Germans loved National Socialism in the 1930's and 40's. Sounds like really cool system to the lazy, ignorant, government dependant, and envious. Problem is, when a self-centered sociopath works his way to be in charge of the system, no institutions exist which can stop him from doing anything he wants, like taking over the press,enjoying running tanks through France, or re-instituting slavery.

It is possible that it was the way the question was asked. It is also possible that Capitalism is not exactly what it use to be. If a corporation (big Business) is "too big to fail" and gets bailed out....that ain't Capitalism. There are many different layers, but big Corporations have become a community within itself. Besides a paycheck they provide insurance, retirement plans and something to belong to socially like the company baseball team. It even has its own 'class system'. No, I am not anti-business at all, big or small. But, it isn't exactly pure Capitalism anymore. Then there are the unions that work for big Corporations. A whole nuther story.

What is sad is that these economic illiterates believe the Obama lie that raising taxes on the top 2% will solve our debt problems, when in reality, even if the increased taxes live up to what they anticipate (about $80 billion), it will lower our deficit by only 6 or 7 percent, leaving a deficit of still well over $1 trillion per year. They don't realize that Obama will soon come back and tell them that taxes must go up on everybody to make a difference. And the action that they urged Obama to take on the upper class, will soon become their own well-deserved reality.

Like it or not, with Comrade Obama's re-election we are now a Socialist country. Mitt Romney hinted at this truth when he said that 47% of Americans will always vote against him. He was wrong. It's 50+%. There's an old saying that applies here: " When you steal from Peter (the taxpayer) to pay Paul (the freebeegetter), you'll always get Paul's vote"--which is what's happened with Obama's re-election. Since we now have more Paul's than Peter's voting into political office the Socialist candidates, and against the free-market Republican candidates, the handwriting is on the wall. Ben Franklin actually warned us about this possibility right after our Founding Fathers signed the US Constitution, when he told a woman who asked him what type of government we now have, he said: "A Republic, if you can keep it!" In the 2012 presidential election, we lost it. Welcome to Socialism folks!!!

"This class warfare nurtured by the left has given us the success of Barack Obama." Barack Obama's only "success" was getting elected, elected not by the merits of his policies but by preaching hate and envy. This won't end well. Written 46 years ago, economist Henry Hazlitt's words are even more appropriate in our time ..... 'Marxism in One Minute' By Henry Hazlitt The whole gospel of Karl Marx can be summed up in a single sentence: Hate the man who is better off than you are. Never under any circumstances admit that his success may be due to his own efforts, to the productive contribution he has made to the whole community. Always attribute his success to the exploitation, the cheating, the more or less open robbery of others. Never under any circumstances admit that your own failure may be owing to your own weaknesses, or that the failure of anyone else may be due to his own defects his laziness, incompetence, improvidence, or stupidity. Never believe in the honesty or disinterestedness of anyone who disagrees with you. This basic hatred is the heart of Marxism. This is its animating force. You can throw away the dialectical materialism, the Hegelian framework, the technical jargon, the scientific analysis, and millions of pretentious words, and you still have the core: the implacable hatred and envy that are the raison dtre for all the rest. -- Henry Hazlitt

solid & firm. You don't even need to look at Europe, just look at what is happening in states and cities that are held by democrats for a period of time. Look at what is happening in California and its 3 cities (for now) which filed for bankruptcy. Look at Detroit. On second thought, the best and effective way to shake out Socialists/Communists hold on certain demographics might just be bankruptcy. Communist countries opened their markets due to mass starvation, hunger, and hopelessness which threatened the Commiecrats hold on power. In three bankrupt cities of California they are forced to eliminate: bureaucratic positions, government jobs, government services as well. Now people there have to look out for themselves as no one can trust and honor the Government's credit card, cheques, and IOUs anymore. One of the cities attorney even became a fan of arming the citizenry to protect themselves, their families, and their properties. They have come to realize that there are more criminals holding illegal guns than there are police officers they can afford to pay. How about that? Who would have thunk! Bankruptcy might just be the cure, reality dose, and check for citizenry who misguidedly think that government are good steward of their money and trust. Bankruptcy might just be the best teacher on how it is to truly become independent of thoughts and independent from controlling governments. US might have to go bankrupt before it can get rid most of those undesirable parasites: career politicians, corrupt media/academia, plutocrats, bureaucrats, technocrats, Leftists/Democrats/Liberals /Socialists/Progressives/Communists.
