Readers' forum: Huntsman pushing socialism
32 comments | Read story
I look forward to a return of 14-hour days in factories, where people work 100-hour workweeks and make just enough money to get by.
Oh, and child labor. No more mandatory school.
All these regulations and rules...they're just so stifling.
How about we call it Americanism. That word probably won't have the evil conotation that the right wing capitalist have given to the word socialism.
Sensible people are realizing you can have a functional government that provides valuable services to strengthen society without it being "Socialism."
Calling commonsense programs "socialism" has become the right wing's "cry wolf."
I remember way back when Governor Norm Bangerter wanted to raises taxes. Over 10,000 people showed up at the Capitol to say no. The taxes were not raised and Norm didn't run for reelection.
Huntsman just won reelection so now he is feeling his oats to push big government junk. Huntsman wants his family money to buy him a US Senate seat. Nothing would get his attention more than having 10,000 people show up to the Capitol saying No Way to his agenda!
We should do it the first day of the legislative session.
Huntsman is a major disappointment, parachuting into events to been seen but leaves the real work to the rest of us. Vacuous windbag.
He has said he won't run again in 2012 so we'll need to see if he keeps his word...just like Hatch who blasted Sen. Moss for "being up there so long."
"Socialism" is merely today's AM radio blowhard "scare the rubes" word.
Get over it, guys.
What'll the blowhards have to stimulate your adrenal glands tomorrow?
"Space aliens are coming!"
"I don't like it. It might cost me money. It must be 'Socialism'."
This must be a broken phonograph record that needs to be thrown out. This mantra has gotten really old with utterly no meaning outside that small cadre of true believers who chant it at every opportunity.
Grrr. The man runs his own agenda despite the will of the people.
in order to make it more acceptable or palatable to the general public.
I believe Krushchev said that the US people would not accept communism but they will accept socialsm in small doses until we are like them.
We must be aware at all time what is really going on, even what seems be harmlessly said in these comments.
These guys that can't leave the word "socialism" alone...I'm sorry, but they just seem a bit whacked to me.
Where do we get these guys? Is there a John Birch convention in town?
