Re: "mixed economy is socialism."
>>> No, it is not. Every nation on Earth now has a 'mixed economy' of one sort or another. There are no 100% pure Capitalist nations on the planet, just as there are no 100% pure Communist nations.
>>> I refer you to ANY intro-level economics text book that you can lay your hands on.
>>> ALL redistributive government programs are forms of Socialism... so, Social Security, Medicare, Medicaid, Veteran's benefits, Farm Price Supports, Corporate tax breaks, graduated taxes, etc., etc., all qualify. |
