Pure socialism hasn't been tried for centuries AND *real* capitalism hasn't
either. We have corporate welfare in this country and that is a form of
socialism. "Socialsm takes your money and uses it for programs that someone
else thinks is best for you." Yup, sure does. This socialistic country
takes my tax money and uses it to support phoney capitalism by giving
corporation welfare on my dime.

Now, if someone can point me to a country that has *real* capitalism, I'd
sure like to investigate it.
