We either go one direction, left, which would be socialism. Or right, which would be people trying to make the money themselves.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
The left is back, and it's the only path we have to get out of the spot to which the right has sunken us. Socialism builds and capitalism destroys.
The America that I think most Americans would want, most economists on the right or left would want, is one in which a smart, ambitious, hardworking person without a huge amount of resources has a pretty good shot, in the end, of beating out a less smart, less ambitious, less hardworking rich person.
We approach closer and closer to socialism.
The direction of this country is going into the wrong direction.
I am not a Marxist, but I place myself resolutely at the left.
The problem with socialism is that you eventually run out of other peoples' money.
Socialists tend to want to pay people more money to do less work, and capitalists tend to want to provide better products at better prices.
What we do today has nothing to do with capitalism or socialism. It is a crony type of system that transfers money to the coffers of bureaucrats.
Socialism's not a word that I use. I say 'social democracy' because I don't think the government needs to own all the means of production.
What we have at present is a system of loss socialism. Whatever goes wrong is shouldered by the general public and anything that works is privatised. Worshippers of market freedom have suspended the most important economic principle: Risk and liability go hand in hand.
