thanks for being respectfully skeet.
I really can't compare socialism to communism. One is an economic system and the other is a political system.
communism incorporates socialism.
It would be possible to have a democratic government with a socialist economy.
I am 100% for democracy. I think too many people vote republican against their own (everyone's) economic interest. I think if people would actually sit down and look openly at what the democratic party offers, they might not change their mind but perhaps they would be less hatefull.
As for 90% taxes - let's be realistic. That's not going to happen. I'm certainly open to raising taxes to pay for things society can benifit from --- free undergrad college for instance. It may also be time to start implementing public works projects if the economy does not improve --- of course that will probably include greencard workers
Yes, we definatly need to deport illegals. Both parties have too much invested in them. But we are getting to a dangerous job market in which something absolutly needs to be done.
But on social and economic issues, I certainly follow the FDR path. His policies (which are still in use today) help a lot of people.
Healthcare - I have talked to a few canadians on the internet over the last couple years on this issue.
It's funny that canadians like their healthcare. I think it's actually the US citizens criticizing something they don't know much about.
Welfare to me is really not an issue. People complain about people feeding off it like worms. It's just not the case. The number of people on welfare is actually very small. Most people who qualify for it don't even take it.
Have good evening
