Capitalism to Socialism - so what!

It can't get any worse! So many are afraid now that with the US Treasury Department stepping in and bailing out or more or less buying AIG and more now owning 70% of the home loans - that we are becoming Socialist.

I don't care! Bring it own! It can't be anymore more crooked then Capitalist Lobbyist ran corporations that Phil Gramm and Bush deregulated and gave the full green light to cheat and rip off the American people and the world with bad debt.
Financial houses did it to themselves because this naive government actually thought they could trust these people? So why were the regulations there in the first place?
Evidently they had to be.

I say yes to Socialism and governemtn regulated health care - we need it. It works every where else in the industrial modern world.

Socialist certainly would be one way to clear Washington D.C. of all the 34,000 plus lobbyist there.

I say - go with it! It's time to get "green" and we need a government sponsored plan, that is overseen by, let's say, Obama (as president) and turn this country toward the future of "green" clean air, water, food without lethal chemicals.

Maybe a socialist ran government would make sure every one has decent health insurance, and make sure drug companies aren't just marketin drug to make a buck. Drug commericals dominate the air waves. It's all marketing. And we know that they create disease to sell the drugs. "Do you pee more than eight times a day?" I actually saw that poster in a doctor's office! It didn't ask how much water you drank a day! Sell! Sell! Sell!

Maybe with a Socialist government here like in England where doctors are giving bonusses for healing people and getting them to live healthy lives and quit smoking we will have more healthier adults and kids.

In England health is promoted because there is no real profit in pushing drugs. Drugs are very cheap in France, England, Germany, Sweden, Denmark and elsewhere.

It's time for change alright! It's time to prosecute greedy corporate head crooks and that it all away from them and penalize them! We sure don't hear the government say they are going after the real CEO crooks - cause they are all in cahoots. "I funded your campaign! I rigged the voting machines for you Mr. Republican".

I agree with the Google CEO get rid of the oil hang up - get off of oil! Just how stupid and un ordganized are thses knuckle heads in Washington D. C. No one takes a stand. Well, Obama will!

Congressional hearings need to make new laws and agencies to police corporations. 1890 has the Anti-trust Act. A midst the Depression Roosevelt came up with Securities plans to protect the American people. Then in the mid 80's Junior Bush was involved in the Savings and Loan Scandal. Gee, how no one places his name with the scandal.

And why is the average citizen (mostly Dito Head Republicans) so afraid of Socialism! Goernment for the people by the people. So what if the government owns the corporations.

I will be studying Socialism further but it sure seems to work in all those other countries where the wealth is spread out more evenly amongst the people in social benefit and lots of vacations and child care time off for new parents or anytime. If you have surgery you get lots of time off. Sounds wonderful to me. And the medical care is good.. we just preach here in the US that it isn't because the capitalist here don't want it... and Republicans in Washington are in cahoot with lobbyist (corporations).

McCain it's time to take up a hobbie! You have no clue as to what you are talking about when it comes to economics or anything else. I believe all McCain knows is war! War!

And why should the US take it upon themselves to punish Russia for attacking George? Shouldn't the United Nations or Super eight or something take care of that? We interfere like we are running the whole show! Just who do we think we are? God? Well Bush does! He's off the top! I'm embarrassed!

I'll be relieved when this election is over and Obama is our President. We need big changes in Washington and new electric cars, and freedom from foreign oil. We need to move to "green" with wind power turbines and solar panels and move away from oil. This foolish government the Bush Dynasty has been stuck in oil for too long it's time to get into the 21st century and get "green". I'm embarrassed. We knew since 1973 with the first oil embargo that we needed to free our dependency on oil. Brazil did. They started then and are now complete petroleum free.

I only wish certain people would at least listen to both sides of the fense and listen to NPR and actually learn something rather than merely allowing someone else to think for you and brain wash you - hello ditto heads!
