I want a little Capitalism/Socialism in my America
I just don't understand why we can't come to an agreement in this country that certain things should be capitalized on and certain things should not. My health and the health of my brothers and sisters should not be considered a product. We should not be insured and we certainly should not be traded on wall street! Bill Gates if you have the ingenuity to create a product that the whole country wants to buy, well then by all means...feel free to capitalize on it!!! Until we gain some balance in this country and quit running away from the "Dirty S word", capitalism will continue to consume us.

2. Re-Regulate the Electric companies to start with
We have progressed in our society enough that electricity is a basic necessity and should be controlled for the public good!!

3. Amazing that on a progressive board the fear exists
what I am saying is reasonable and true..yet those who agree are fearful of supporting it because we have allowed the right to demonize the word Socialism. Kinda like when we allowed them to demonize the word liberal.
