Democracy has a component of socialism. I never said the entire country is socialist. What I said is there is a balance between socialist institutions and private institutions in the country.
No you didn't come right out and say it...but that was your intended impression you wanted to leave with us. A sort of moral equivalence and a hint of hypocrisy on the part of Conservatives for being anti-Socialist. Why LOOK..."Democracy has a component of socialism."
You're not as subtle or as clever as you think you are Jake.

This is the woman that led writing most of the text of the bill.

I don't care if the freaking Tooth fairy wrote the damn thing with special exemptions to the Dentists of America.
It was a Democrat bill...it was a bill the PRESIDENT wanted. And over the loud objections of the American people the Democrat Party...Democrat leaders in Congress and a Democrat President shoved it down our throats.
And besides...if she really DID write the bill...she did a damn poor job on it since a) none of the house or senate leaders knew what was in it.."We've got to pass it to find out what's in it" and b) there were HUNDREDS of pages that were blank. Only footnotes that said basically "to be filled in later".
All you're doing now is trying to find clever ways to deflect th blame from where it truly belongs. You've got an extreme hatred for big business...corporations and the free enterprise system. It bubbles just beneath the surface and comes out in these tinfoil hat theories of yours about the
real reason American is in trouble.
And it's either truly clouded your common sense about what got us to where we are or you're purposely using it as a smokescreen to protect your precious political party.
Either way its disingenuous.
You say you're an accountant...you weren't by chance one of those that cut cut free from Arthur Andersen when the whole Enron scandal broke were you?
