600 years ago, the idea of democratic rule, captitalism, and a middle class, would have been the craziest ideas around.
Quit watching Star Trek and come into the real world for once! The point is, if I work hard, I want to be rewarded. Socialism does not reward that. We will never go that way in this country at least. We are influencing the Communists among us - just look at China! They are moving faster towards a Capitalist mentallity than any of us can imagine. I just watched a TV program on how the Communists and Socialists are slowly losing their grip on power. It is happening as we speak.
