The more I read posts on here / debate with people the more convinced I am that Americans have no idea what Communism, Socialism is. Personally I believe in pragmatism. Some things are best done by yourself. Some by private companies, for profit, and some by Government, for the public good. Any political system followed religiously falls apart after time.

@22Michelle I'm not sure about Americans not knowing communism or socialism. The truth is that we have 2/3 capitalism and 1/3 socialism. I will argue that even where these policies are implemented are supported by hememony of their own in certain parts of the world.

@RisingMorningStar7 Indeed they do. And a healthier, better educated population leads to a more productive workforce. For a country it's a good long term investment.

@22Michelle Yes... What you have in America do is that you tax the middle man and give onto the poor instead of taxing the rich.
