You may not be "uninformed" or ignorant, but you sure are naive if you don't realize the socialist threat in America. While the Democrats embrace socialism, I will continue to support those that fight it, and still embrace capitalism. You see, I have no problem with the rich getting richer. Because that is why our supposed poverty level families live like middle class in other countries, socialist countries. The rich get richer and the lower level classes live better. The gov doesn't improve one's lifestyle. It only makes slaves of the lower class.

One thing for sure, you can't baffle close minded individuals. There was nothing in my post that you referred to that should be considered baffling.
Social security is a socialist program. Under your definition of socialism, we are lazy. I don't think that I am lazy. How about you, are you lazy? Tagging all people with the lazy tag, because of a few to justify a warped view is something that you have to expect from the lazy politicians, who only want to criticize, condemn, and complain, and never offer an alternative to anything. If they do offer an alternative, it is one they know their opponent will never accept. You can add mean to the lazy in describing these politicians.
The USA will never become a socialist country. What ever happened to the socialist/communist countries that we fought wars against? Germany, and Japan seem to be doing just fine now. We fought the Korean War against China. Now, what is our capitalist country doing, sending millions of jobs there. Sounds like big business isn't worried about socialism/communism. We have socialist programs, but we aren't anywhere close to a socialist country, given the truth definition of "socialism".
The economy is the major item people want to address in the next presidential election. It is the middle class that is yelling the loudest. We do have a better life style than countries in Europe with more socialist programs than ours. However, our lifestyle has been slipping, since the 70's. Trickle down nonsense doesn't work. Tax cuts that favor the upper class makes the national debt worse for no good reason. Flat tax is a simple fix for simple minded people.
You throw the word "slaves" out there to demean people. Why don't you use something more acceptable like "welfare moms"?
