Ideas like these make you wonder when did certain politicos forget this is America we live in? America is and always will be a capitalist nation, not socialist. They can dream all the want, but there are too many people out there with common sense and a smatter of real historical knowledge that know we've got it as good as it gets, and to try the proven failures of other countries is sheer folly.
Then you remember that these people don't care about the country as a whole. No, their focus is on one thing- power. Power and prestige- contempt from the likes of us for the abusers- are their sole objectives, whatever platitudes they voice as their motives. Whatever good intentions they try to mask their deeds with, the results won't change. If they really cared, they'd continue their education and look up from their pages of shopworn slogans party line mandates.
