Yes, this is Socialism.  The few at the top, benefiting from those, working
folk, at the middle and bottom, might make it appear otherwise, but it is
certainly not free-market philosophy.  Think about the extremes of Socialism 
: Soviets, Nazis, Whatever the hell Pol Pot called his socialistic bone
collecting regime.  H.G. Wells thought that Fascism (which he called
"liberalized  Socialism") was a wonderful Idea, because only enlightened ,
progressive thinkers like himself would be smart enough to reach the top
ranks and run the show ---  Be careful of that for which you wish, someone
might have told Mr. Wells.

Politically it is a tyranny of the majority over the minority because in the
end, you lose individual rights and recognition.  But, that is done so that
the people in the tyrannical top layer are able to control the majority
through appeasement. 

Do you think any of us like being tethered to the health care system in more
than you?  It is not the way it is because of de-centralization.  It is
exactly the opposite. 

If you think that the government can run things better, visit the county
hospital emergency room in Spokane at 10:00 p.m. on Friday night.  I would
love to untie my self from the health care system as we know it now.  It is a
symptom of our previous socialistic tendencies and will only get
worse........bobf

I'm curious about the socialism. I see over a trillion borrowed since
the year 2000 to finance everything, mostly wars while taxes are cut
to the well off. I see day to day living costs going way up for most
of us. I see more tax dollars than I can count borrowed to pay off
the bankers who were greedy.
This is socialism?
I see a medical system that is 1st in costs and what 8th in quality?
Let's have a show of hands, how many of you have a job you don't like
just because of the medical benefits ( know two where I work)?
This is socialism?

I'm not arguing I'm just curious.
