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"?

Yes, "close minded" is a term I would describe your posting.
I can tell that you are a Democrat/liberal from your taking the typical extreme position......"Social Security is a socialist program."
Germany doing well? You are going to endorse Germany as your example? That's pretty funny. I've been there, have you? Japan is doing well? Good luck on that one. Lived there twice, and I'll take America any day.
Tax cuts do NOT make the national debt worst. You are not very well informed on that matter. Tax cuts have improved the economy and increased tax revenues as a result of the better economy. Do some research before making off-hand comments like that.
You make comments like "simple minded people" and then want to chastise ME for using the word slaves? That is very humorous, as well as ludicrous. If you are one of those PC types, then you are in the wrong place. Sensitive people that want to cry about PC comments can kiss my PC as.. Is that PC enough for you? And I am saying that in an affectionate manner...
