The US is the LEAST socialistic country of all developed nations and has the owest [sic] taxes. And you're dead set on fixing both. Unless of course you prefer a society made up of rich and poor, white collar criminals in charge and almost nothing inbetween [sic]. You mean the kind of society Bill Clinton was leading us toward? Thank goodness we now have people in office who are catching all these criminals bred during the anything-goes, the-bubble-lifts-all-boats, we-can-all-get-rich-so-who-cares-how, new-paradigm nineties.

Har de har har. No, they didn't. That economy was inherited by Clinton from Reagan-Bush. He screwed it up because the bubble was bursting in March 2000 when he was still president. So don't try that one.
