For the record, "Socialism" DOES NOT mean "Forcing everyone to be equal" |
|
Here's the Wiki definition:
Socialism refers to a broad set of economic theories of social organization advocating public or state ownership and administration of the means of production and distribution of goods, and a society characterized by equal opportunities for all individuals, with a fair or egalitarian method of compensation.
Since 1980's and Reagan, we have been turning more and more of the Public Sector over to the Private Sector. And how has that been working out? Seems to me that the "Private Sector" has been selling as much of our shared inheritance as they can, as fast as they can, and socking away the booty.

because the people who sold this country out are just NOT going to rebuild it.
And we have all been trained to look to these people to save us.

9. Yep. A divided working class IS NOT a prosperous working class... |

Rush is paid big bucks to encourage his listeners to admire the wealthy and disdain their fellow workers.
Apparently, it's worth every penny he's paid.
