Socialism needed
I've got some questions for those who've been calling President Barack Obama a socialist.
Don't you realize that what we've been living under for the past 30 years has been corporate socialism?
I believe people matter more than profit, and it's about time that our government's policies, after 30 years, reflect that reality.
A demand for this is justifiably growing across the nation and it's because the people have at last snapped out of their acceptance of what Reaganomics did, not for us, but to us.
Materialism leads to debt and confuses priorities. That's how they like it because it's how they survive. The private sector has proven that it cannot be trusted to handle our necessities.
Health care, education, public transportation, banking, the monetary system, food production, water and all forms of energy must be socialized, some of them federally and some locally. For when any public necessities are driven by a profit motive, only the controllers will benefit.
What I'm describing is called a mixed economy, not dominated by the private sector or the government.
This is the real way forward. Government isn't the problem. Corporate control of it is.
