Having lived and worked in other countries...Agreed. Having lived and worked in other countries besides the US, I can say firsthand that socialistic approaches to the economy work great. Health care and social security are guaranteed. There's great maternity leave, and having up to six weeks of paid vacation each year doesn't suck!<br /><br />The "talking points" about how Canadians (Brits, French people, insert nationality ______________ here) are bullshit. Go there, live there. People love having national health care. But ignorant twits who've never lived abroad can tell you all about what it's like and how terrible it is!<br /><br />This country, the US, however, is founded on a genocide, to quote Art Spiegelman, and it continues to be administered by people who give not a flying fuck for human life or the stability of Earth's ecosystem. These people are called "capitalists," and capitalism's arch supporters are con men like Paul Ryan, who think Ayn Rand was really terrific. She wasn't. She was an ideologue and a hypocrite.Don Quixotenoreply@blogger.com
