uhm... why does it look like you're attacking me? i uhm, said stuff against socialism....

and whats this about "needing to keep people fed"? that isnt the Governments job, thats our own jobs.

Our government is forcing you and I to feed the people. Plus give them free eduation and free health care. I'd rather have them all working and providing all that for themselves. We've got welfare rates approaching 40% in this region --- plus close to double digit unemployment. I can look over the border and see where this is going to lead us.

See #90 and 98..Those two go together concerning Mexico.

It is the government's job to maintain a social and economic climate in which all the willing and able members of society which desire to better themselves through hard work or education can do so. That, in case you've forgotten, is the so-called American dream. Pushing a global economy in which labor is outsourced to the lowest international bidder while your own citizens go unemployed is not the government's job but what our friends in the White House (Rockafeller Republicans) seem to be hell bent on doing.

It is the job of the individual to take advantage of such opportunities.

I heard it once said that there are "country club republicans" and "country music republicans." Ronald Reagan was part of and was sympathetic to the latter group. The Bushies are part of the former group. Someday, the former group will learn that it is unelectable. As of now, it does appear that it is going to take two one-term Bushes to drive that point home.
