I'm not really a Socialist...I just play one on the internet.
I am really a capitalist. No, I am being serious, I am. I own and operate a retail venture. I am all about making money. I am not all about the wealth redistribution stuff.
But then again.
Capitalism is a economic system that prizes competition in the marketplace. Many players splitting the money equally while fighting for a share of the market on a level playing field. Businesses not being able to game the system and use political connections for a competitive advantage over others...government neutral and no more people using their money to get laws passed to give them an unfair competitive advantage in their marketplace.
Ya know what?
The more I think about it the more that sounds like socialism...wealth being more evenly distributed through the economy and the government making sure no one can gain an unfair advantage? Yeah that is pretty radical...
















Yeah if people still want to pay $1,000+ per month for insurance which you'll be denied coverage for if you ever become sick and have the premiums go up 25%+ every year they should have the right to have that. Who am I to say.
I am glad reasonable minds are prevailing...get the pen ready Mr. President.
