Why is socialism so bad?
I'd much rather live in England where my health care is free, where the government actually cares about the people, rather then the profits. I'll gladly pay taxes to help people in need. The amount of money you're forced to pay for an American college is deplorable, these are 2 reasons i moved back to England from America. The people are great but the laws suck ass, too harsh, too republican, too reactionary. Not enough equality in society. All they wanna do is bleed you dry. This is why Obama will win, because these are the key issues which affect a majority of people in difficult economic circumstances. People aren't even aware of the differences between positive and negative liberty. Too many people want too much negative liberty, they want the government out of their lives, they see them as people who interfere in your business. Whereas positive liberty is where the government uses its tools and power to help people in need with social reform and welfare and health insurance and college costs. There's been so much negative liberty recently, the republicans thought the wealth would trickle down but the wealth must start from the bottom up. This is how the economy will really prosper, when people on main street have enough confidence and money to start buying and investing again.
