Some people would make you think socialism is a dirty 4-letter word. The fact of the matter is that socialism fails in some categories, but it succeeds in others. Like Taxation and welfare programs. Everyone paying their fair share of taxes is a good thing. Do you think EA games pays their share of taxes? no. Why, because they got the money to pay people to hide even more money.

Besides, people shouldn't be worried. No president since Nixon has accomplished any of their truly good campaign promises. No tax reform (unless it allowed the rich to pay less and the poor to pay more). No campaign finance (unless it allowed surrogates to raise and attack for you) and certainly no attention paid to the US Constitution (unless it suits them).

The real question, with the mass consolidation of power from the Bush administration, is how long until bush's own polices are turned against him.

I feel that any system, any, will become toxic without restraints, Capitalism, Socialism, whatever. We need to change the laws concerning incorporation. That the leaders of these companies can do anything they want to is wrong. And they can't be held liable for their crimes. This is our true problem. And since they control the courts and the various organs of state, I fear that this malady will never change.
