That comes from my upbringing that Democratic socialism (in the tradition of FDR) did work and helped build the great middle class, which is the key to financial stability in America. <br />There is an old saying, "Every once in a while socialism has to step in to save capitalism." <br />That's exactly what FDR's social programs did. <br />Since capitalists no longer see a need to consider people, or have a responsibility to the community they do business in, then government has to keep the people's needs as its first concern, as the Constitution states.<br />Communal taxation is a socialist concept, which helped build America. The key to building that which individuals alone can not.

All is in place this time and it has been basically 50-50 but now the scales have tipped more to the right and into the shitter. You are not allowed to hear voices from the left and not sure they would say much anyway. It's like they want to lose.One Flyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03772881642197609507noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23257473.post-29987872251753817872016-01-12T00:38:34.162-08:002016-01-12T00:38:34.162-08:00Really interesting post.

The 1980s was also the era that Thatcher devastated the union movement in the United Kingdom, abetted by Rupert Murdoch who had his own axe to grind with collective bargaining. The miner’s strike and the Wapping dispute. The Right owns that era. It was a kind of ideological workshop, in which it was okay to snuggle up to death squads and congratulate the winners of fraudulent elections in other countries, and tilt the entire plate of post-war prosperity so the gravy would only run one way at home ever after.
