I often wonder why some people think that trying the same thing again, and again and expecting different results, is a good idea? In fact it is as Einstein said insane! But yet I am amazed how many people want to go down the path of socialism, and yes even communism. Not just here but around the world. Even though in the case of the latter has prove itself a failed system every time it has been tried. Look at who was right Khrushchev said that Communism would bury us, Reagen predicted that Soviet Union would end up in the dust bin of history. Hmmm who was right and who was wrong? China who still calls itself the Peoples Republic of China, and still might fly a communist banner, is a far cry from what Mao had envisioned for China. In fact since it has largely adopted capitalist principles, it has become the fastest growing economy in the world.
But right in our own backyard we have a president who wants to raise taxes on the rich, on corporations. To increase needless regulations to combat the myth of global warming. And when and were he can take direct control of companies and corporations.And even control over our health, because control of the wealth isn't enough! Just why some people, my fellow Americans think this is a good idea is beyond me. Government run companies, and central planning didn't work else were, why do we think it will here. Could it be that it wasn't the ideas were flawed, but only the wrong people were in charge?
