Why can't the USA have a happy medium between socialism and capitalism?
Seriously, unregulated capitalism quickly turns into "every man for himself" until the citizens get pissed off and start rioting. And socialism with no free market isn't a good situation either. So why can't the USA manage a social democracy like France -- it has a firmly regulated workforce, public healthcare, etc.

Socialists are never happy with their control over others. They will always want more. It is greed.

Because everytime you give the government more control, they demand more and more and more. I'll give no more without a fight.

Socialism by the federal government is un Constitutional. And States are guaranteed a republican form of government.

Turn on your radio news station. The French were rioting in the streets because the government raised the retirement age fro 60 to 62. This year, the retirement age in the US is 66 and not one protest. In England people rioted because the government wants to students to pay for their college educations. Oh, how awful.
There is no unregulated free enterprise, anywhere. So you cannot know what would happen if there was true free enterprise. Since there is competition, I predict that prices would be lower. Government is the problem. Government is not the solution. |

We have it in the UK, when things are working well. More equal societies are happier and at ease with themselves.

But but but the French have to retire at 62 with a 75% pension and universal health care and topless beaches a higher net worth than Americans, and its been like that for 40 years!
What if I want to work until I'm 70 and lose my house anyway and beg a hospital to recognize my Medicare and maybe get shot by some gun lovin' whack-job? What other country in the world will let me have that?????? |
