capacity.

Congratulations to Comrsade Weiser for so clearly articulating
fundamental socialist truths. In the name of The People, the
Government
CAN and SHALL interfere in the workings of a so-called marketplace.
In
the name of The People, and in Their strategic interests, the
Government must support production capacity in those industries
judged
to serve The Peoples' interests.

As the determination of what is of strategic interest lies with The
People and their duly elected Representatives, all firms must be
prepared to either benefit or suffer from the Government's
interference
in the marketplace. The Government will determination how scarce
resources, even tax resources, are to be allocated.

The Government will do The People's bidding in all matters.

Thank you Comrade Weiser for reminding us of the very essence of
socialism.

Cheers, Comrades

Comrade frtzw906, you are very funny!!! I believe that Comrade Scott
did overstate the definition of socialism to include a totalitarian
socialism, which we all hopefully agree is not a desirable regime
having just escaped from one ourselves in homeland Russia.

Here in USA the streets are paved with gold, and there is money to be
made everywhere. I don't understand the people that live here for a
long time. All they do is bitch about not having a job, and being able
to make a living, while they stand in line waiting for welfare check.
Then they get in their own SUV and drive to their own home to watch tv.
The hardest decision they make is whether to watch cable or satellite
channel.

Then they can also stop at supermarket to buy groceries where the
shelves are full with anything you want to buy, and they complain
because the price went up 5 cents since their last trip. I remember
when there was nothing to buy, and if there was anything you would pay
twice as much for it as last time only month ago.

America is really great place to live. Even the soldiers are happy here
and do not rob and beat you. They are all actually paid, and have
houses for themselves. Some even have their family with them.

I live in NYC, and if I want, I can travel to California without
getting anyones permission, or carrying papers, and having to bribe
border guards to let me pass. It is trully amazing.

I do have to pay for my medical attention here, but then there are real
doctors, and I can even choose which one I go to. I love America.
