An interesting statement. Do you see Europe as having 'horribly failed' because of the majority of Socialist geovernments?? :rolleyes:
No, don't answer that....try and focus on the topic. |

I gotta answer this! 
YOU ASKED!
YES!! They have failed BIG TIME!
Let me present this analogical scenario -
- A person goes to work - the employer expects 10 things to be accomplished every day.
- Another employer in the same field of experience expects an employee to do (more or less) just 6 things.
- Basic human nature would dictate that more people would try to get a job with the second company than with the one with higher expectations
- COMMON SENSE would make a person wonder which one was more successful.
- Politics is like those employer's - the lower standards attract more employee's with lower goals and objectives.
As I see it - Socialism is like the second company.
Look at what has happened in this country already.
- People do not want to be responsible for their sexual outcome
So there is a push for ABORTION and AIDS research and assistance on the taxes
- People do not want to be schooled
So they expect the schooled to subsidize their poverty through taxes
- Homeless do not want to work
So they expect handouts funded through taxes and donations
- People want FREE medical
They wait for months to get special medical services paid from taxes.
Socialism is a let down for producers - those who are willing to work for higher goals and standards.
DON'T GET ME WRONG - I am all for helping the poor (the poor
that are willing to help themselves).
A big part of why the poverty level is as it is in the USA is due to the feverish need to play political Robin Hood.
There is a reasonable solution to this . . . but it needs to go into a NEW THREAD! :)
