True enough, I've never been a CEO, though much to your surprise, I have worked many years in the private sector. So I'll plead guilty that I'm not qualified to run a major corporation. Those facts put me squarely in the vast majority of American citizens. I'm happy enough there, thank you very much.
As for democratic socialism as practiced in America, I can see you want nothing to do with that, so please stay off our roads and bridges, do not call our police, fire department, or EMS, don't expect our military to protect you if we are invaded, don't take your Social Security check, refuse Medicare, don't send your children to public school and universities, snowplow your own road to your own house, bury your own garbage in your back yard, keep out of the public library, put up your own streetlights, just to name a few. And by all means, don't vote. Thanks. That should relieve your conscience about being a socialist.
