"Socialism never took root in America because the poor see themselves not as an exploited proletariat, but as temporarily embarrassed millionaires."

Too funny. Except socialism did take root- and a lot of those "embarrassed millionaires" are living on the state- SS, disability, medicare, government bennies- socialist slop for little socialist piggies- but they still want to pretend they are capitalist warriors. It's the hypocrisy of the republican slobs that's bizarre. I get the embarrassed millionaire thing- IF so many of them weren't already living off the state. It's the cognitive dissonance of their actions versus their words.
