I just had a discussion with my step-father and about the finanical crisis, the election and where the hell is all of this money going from the bail-out. Why are we here...I think in part because America has lost her sense of identity. Let's look at the 3 main types of Governement practiced in the world.
1. Capitalisim
2. Socialism
3. Communisim
Which category do we fall into?
Well, as long as YouTube is alive and well we are definitely not practicing Communism.
Socialism, that's tougher to answer because we have aspects of our governement that are "Soicalized". Here's a short list
US Postal Service
Police and Fire services
Social Security
Education
Veteran Administration
And now, Corporations are becoming Socialized because, if you are recieving tax dollars, you are now reliant on the Government.
I am happy that Barack Obama won the presidency however, I strongly disagree with any politican that voted for the bailout of the banking industry. Including him. Capitialism isn't Capitialism anymore, if you get money to stay in business from the tax payers and not your profits. If America is moving towards becoming a socialized country, then why are only SOME getting the benefits and not other? The banks are getting bailed out but, the people who used to work at those companies AREN'T!
I feel in away this violates our own constitution. Remember from High School; "Taxation without Representation".
I never saw that topic on the ballot at the election...Did YOU!I got to vote for the Clean Air and Water Act of Minnesota but, I didn't get a vote on the most expensive decision ever made.
Either everyone gets it or no one should...this isn't a popularity contest..this contest is called "Survivor"!
