Capitalism and Socialism

[SHRED]

When our candidates are asked if they are "socialist" or how they feel about capitalism, I wish they would answer like I have tweeted.

1. Socialism

I’m into socialism because since the regan era we have had vulture capitalism. I want my tax dollars to fund education healthcare and the elderly in I’ll be 63 in ten years but I’m union with a promise of a decent pension.

3. And your unionized status, and pension, put you in the minority.

I too am a retired union worker with a pension.

6. I agree

We are a small minority

2. Well said.

Many economies are a mix of government and private run enterprises.

The key is regulation of the private companies to prevent the few sociopathic capitalists from damaging society.

5. One might even say

Trump is a metaphor for how bad it has progressively gotten. In a true meritocracy someone without talent or brains would probably end up working on a garbage truck or picking cotton or something, but thanks to inheriting half a billion $$$$$ he's squatting in the Oval Office surrounded by fawning toadies.
