Showing Original Post only (View all)The Truth Is We Need To Be A Democratic Socialist State Like Sweden, Norway, et al. [View all]
Our nation will not survive as decent place to live unless we become more like Sweden, Norway, et al. Democratic socialism is a much fairer system than what we have now. Taxes may be higher but most citizens have their basic needs met. And workers are more protected from the abuses of run away capitalism like we have in the US and many parts of the world now.
The trouble is that our ignoramuses in the US think that socialism is Marxism which it is not. And they would rather vote against themselves than risk someone undeserving, black, hispanic et al getting tax money. Too many voters would rather die without health care than have someone they look down on getting the same benefit. The GOP has been playing the "race" & "taker' card forever. Sadly it keeps working.
In reality if the GOP got its way on the domestic agenda the disabled, the elderly, the sick, minorities and other "unacceptable" would be out on the street, starving or dead. And the "elite" would have their protected environments like a country club. That is the GOP's ideal world where "their kind" get to make all the decisions on others fate.
