My views on socialism.

This is from the heart, Jessica.

So, although I do prefer capitalism (more opportunities and all), I can see the benefits of a socialist economy.  The whole "provide-for-everyone", "no-one-left-behind" thing has got to be nice, and it does make everyone seem good-natured.  But I also think I would feel incredibly unimportant if America were ( Read more... )
