Ten,
re: My biggest problem, however, is not whether we are too capitalist or too socialist. Instead, it's the whole attitude of "soaking the rich,"
Well you must be a happy camper, because at present our policy is soaking everyone else so that the rich can be more "rich".
re: Meanwhile, the extra money feeds the bureaucratic beast that continues to cripple all aspects of federal government. This includes the CIA and FBI who, among other things, missed the 9/11 clues.
What are you saying? We need to make those agencies stronger.
re: The social services and the safety nets will always be there thanks to the entitlement culture we have, but the more we can ween ourselves off of said entitlements, the better... And the rich and powerful will continue to get theirs, no matter whether we live in a capitalism, a socialism, or a hybrid of any form."
So you accept entitlements for the rich and not for the poor? Come on Ten, that's not moral (I won't say Christian beacuse you will jump all over me).
The thing that's great about this country is that we've managed to move right and left and right and left over many years, and the balance has stayed in the middle. At the moment it's time to move left, very left. Time to bury the neo's.
