Yeah,socialism sounds like a much better idea(a little sarcasm for the irony impaired)
hevusa,you say you are a small business owner.Under socialism you would not be allowed to own and run your own business.It sounds to me like you are enjoying the fruits of your own labor and then saying that you cannot stand the system that allows you to do this.A little double standard here?You want to live in a socialist country?Move to North Korea and enjoy all the benefits of your preferred ideology.
