"Socialism never took root in America because the poor see themselves not as an exploited proletariat but as temporarily embarrassed millionaires." John Steinbeck

Pretty much your problem.

the fact socialism brings shortage of about everything, less individual freedom and a corrupt government that grows rich on the people's back obviously has nothing to do with why it didn't catch on.

Nothing at all.

And the more toward communist you go, the more it gets obvious.

Really? Cause Canada seems to be doing fine with some socialism, as does Britain and Germany. I think us Canadians still have a AAA+ credit rating, whats yours? Ahh thats right downgraded because your deregulation has of course failed you as human greed took over and the Wall Street Banks screwed your Nation and the world, then got bailed out with even more Public money and laughed at you as you re-funded them on top of everything.

No one asked for Communism, we asked for some Socialism to balance out the wealth. Communism will never work for the same reason deregulation has failed you again (1928 anyone), human greed.

The height of America 1945-1970 had some socialism, lots of unions, and regulations and then you allowed Reagon to break all of that. You've been down hill since, you have no manufacturing base. Look at Korea or Japan or even Germany for example. Countries that are doing extremely well and can be considered 1st world countries all around, unlike China which is a 3rd world poor rural country yet still climbing. They all have one thing in Common. They all have a manufacturing base in there own country, not in Mexico, China, Taiwan, Philipines etc etc and they buy domestic products.

America is a Nazi police State now Controlled by the 4th branch of Government the MEDIA and is intent on keeping its People oppressed Blind Deaf and Dumb to its true agenda and is doomed to be the NEW Ancient Rome of the New world our Government is controlled by its greed for $ and Power over others in these Facts our people are in fear of the government instead of the Government being afraid of its People

To Arms To Arms People its time to stand up for whats right and our Government is not there to help us its there to oppress us .

'Any society that would give up a little liberty to gain a little security will deserve neither and lose both.' -Ben Franklin

We the People for the People .

And as a Canadian living in Ontario I feel like I need to disagree with you there.

Sure, we got to wait a bit to see a doctor but that sure as hell beats not being able to go to a doctor because you can't pay for it.

Alright, I don't want to support the communist side here but in America he hospitals re not any better I waited the other day 10 hours o get 3 stitches :/

I think what we really need to do though is go back to our roots, have a smaller government, and become more of a republic as we were right now we have too man people with power and most of them corrupt. Either that or we just need a new form of government that gets rid of corruption :P (Socialism would really just about triple the corruption look at the USSR)

Edit: Sorry for any typos my keyboard on this laptop is half broken :P

I am one of the many americans that needs constant healthcare due to very complicated medical issues that could potentially kill me(And some that wont) such as high blood pressure, seizures, hypoglycemia, spine damage, nerve damage,sleep apnea, and the muscles in my knee are damaged also, at any point i could have a stroke, heart attack, or just simply go to sleep and never wake up.

I can't afford healthcare, i haven't seen a regular doctor in 2 years, i rack up debt every time i have to go to the ER just to get a 'bandaid' solution instead of getting the issue fixed, this countries healthcare system is so messed up people in africa have more access to medical care than most americans do and the sad thing is the people in power have absolutely no intent on fixing it.

And according to the government, i am still able to work while not being able to walk correctly and sit/stand for a long period of time without extreme pain.
