Gee, all those socialistic European countries are doing way better than us. Even SPAIN. Maybe it has something to do with Europeans facing lower costs for common services such as child care and health care by paying for them in their taxes, instead of in a “free market” system, where we’re forced to pay profits to private companies.

Shame on you Caro. Don't you know that socialism is evil?

You obviously don't spend enough time watching tv, or if you do, you are not paying attention. If you were, you would know that people in socialist countries are horribly oppressed.

Their leaders routinely go into hospitals and throw babies out of incubators. Then they bomb their own people with chemical weapons - ask any Syrian. Aging grandmothers are forced to work on communal farms until they drop dead, then their remains are sent to glue factories.

Sure they have free education, child care and health care but what good is that if your grandmother is not going to have a decent Christian burial?

Reorder your priorities, go buy some flags, visit Ronald Reagan's tomb, campaign for Donald Trump and that fighting Irishman Mark O'Rubio. And most importantly, don't ever again read anything written by that subversive left wingist Sam Smith character. He has been poisoning minds young and old for 51 years.

Instead, just tune in to Faux News, curl up on your couch and be royally entertained. Then go shopping.

I'm properly chastised, Anonymous.

Just one quibble: I don't think Syria is a socialistic country.

I beg to differ, Caro. President Assad's father took Syria over in a coup in 1963. Both the present president and his father belong(ed) to the Ba'ath Socialist Party.

Whenever the US opposes a nation, it's a good rule of thumb to suspect that that country has strong socialist tendencies, though the US mainstream media will never reveal that as the reason for the US opposition.

They'll usually give us a story about that government's abuse of its citizens, or religious or ethnic differences making that country a hellhole that the US must make nice with its humanitarian bombs.

All modern politics are at base economics - capitalism vs socialism.

Sorry, Anonymous, but just the fact that the word "socialist" is in the name of a party doesn't make it socialistic, at least not according to any common definition of the term.

Remember, the Nazis were the "National Socialist" party, but weren't in the least about socialism. They were about combining government and corporate power to allow the elite to completely dominate everyone else.
