I ♥ socialism


As we all know, there is good socialism and bad socialism.

When our next president John Sidney McCain, takes a poor rural waif from the frozen reaches of the Alaska Wilderness and clothes and feeds her... that's socialism we can believe in.

When John Sidney McCain provides incentives to struggling businesses in the fossil fuel industry; when he helps them gain access to our national parks, national forests and national waters at little or no cost... that's socialism we can believe in.

When John Sidney McCain asks us to share the risk in restoring an economy broken by a few miscreants too irresponsible to pay their own way thus ruining the free market utopia for the rest of us... that's socialism we can believe in.

The rascal Obama has simply not been on this planet long enough to see the difference between good socialism and bad socialism.  Only John Sidney McCain has the experience and judgment necessary to sort out beneficial supply-side socialism from evil and degenerative demand-side socialism.  

Choose the right kind of socialism.  Choose John Sidney McCain.

I suppose it all depends on whose ox is being "socialistically" subsidized.

Driveby, do you notice that we are slowly, perhaps ineluctably drifting toward a MITI setup? It didn't save Japan from their decade in stagnation purgatory. But the competitive pressures are intensifying and if we want to keep on-shore operations competing, we are going to have a state-industry syncitium formalized where now it only exists without publicity.

Oh, come now Lux. You clearly don't now what is meant by supply-side socialism.

And out Asian friends don't use the term "MIDI" any longer. Get your acronyms straight if you're going to tango with us real economists.

I am also against socialism, so much so that I want to move to Alaska. Hey, where's my oil check?
