If we do go socialistic this nation will have abandoned what made it

work and make it on their own, not by promising everyone that the state
would run every aspect of their lives. In fact, immigrants came here
because they state didn't interfere with their lives.
Being rom the rest of the world, I have been losing respect for the
United States because it fails to ensure a minimum standard of living
for its people, and sends out armies to interfere in how the rest of the
world runs its lives.

What does your personal internal paradigm have to do with how we
Americans think our government should act, and what we perceive to be
the best form of government for ourselves? That's about as irrelevant
as me telling you how Sweden should be run.
Should I be telling everyone on this mailing list that I think Sweden's
form of government is ludicrous and that I long ago lost respect for it,
and its people, because it basically takes 75% of its citizens earnings
as taxes and has created a citizenry that dependent on their government
and sucks off the government's teat rather than being responsible for
themselves?
