@covedude Ignoring for a moment that your spelling is atrocious (seriously dude, what are you 13?) ... You have NO idea what you’re talking about. The US is NOWHERE near socialism… and for that matter you can be a Democracy and be socialistic you idiot… socialism is an economic model, not a governing model.
Neither perfect capitalism nor perfect socialism will work. Too much capitalism and you get the great depression, too much socialism and you get the USSR… The trick is finding a happy medium, and being able to change it to lean one way or the other as the moment needs… which is what we have. It’s leaning a BIT towards socialism now, but it’s not even close to an actual socialist situation.
The things that hardcore right wingers are calling socialism, are things that we had through the entire Clinton era (you know, that period of unprecedented US economic growth and national debt dropping?).
They are calling the top tax bracket socialistic cuz it’s in the 30%‘s (the Obama proposal is).... Well in the 1950s the top bracket was in the 90%‘s… and it was the best economic growth our country has ever seen (and under a Republican conservative President mind you).
The banks were ORIGINALLY controlled by the national government, and have been controlled by the government multiple times in our history in order to re-orient the economy and keep them from collapsing (see the great depression and the new deal).
If you’re actually in school (which I highly doubt any school would take you with spelling skills like that) ... then your degree isn’t going to be worth the paper its printed on.
