If you can't beat them, then join them. Since the U.S. has voted for socialism (Communism), I guess we have no choice but to accept it. That means we all should go on the dole and get government checks. We will end up being stuck with the debt, so why not enjoy some of it while we can?
I'm going to apply for a "free" phone, see if I can get "free" health insurance," food stamps, and maybe housing stipends. Anyone who has studied history will know where the U.S.'s experiment with Socialism/Communism will end, but since this is what the nation as a whole wants, then I guess we should enjoy some of the temporary benefits.
And where is this communism you speak of, we don't really have a socialist or communist system.
Actually we do. In Communism, the government controls the land and other private property. If you think you own your own land, try adding to or modifying it without government permission (permits, etc.) and try stopping annual payments to the government in order to be allowed to live on the land.
Under Socialism/Communism, wealth is stolen (taxed, fined, regulated, etc.) from those who produce it and is given it to those who do not produce it. In a free market system, people give wealth to those who need it instead of it being taken under threat of force. "From each according to his ability and to each according to his need" is the main slogan of Communism.
Also, under Socialism/Communism government mandates what and how much people can produce as well as what they buy. Obamacare does exactly that. Farmers, for example are told how much of many crops they are allowed to produce.
Under a free market system, farmers are allowed to produce as much of a product as they want. Demand determines the price.
For the other comment about Obama not being a Socialist/Communist, I disagree. He was mentored by Frank Marshal, a card carrying member of the Communist Party, U.S.A. Obamacare one of the hallmarks of Communism.
You can disagree and argue with me all you want, but history is on my side. You may win the argument, but the majority of the U.S. will be in poverty as a result of the experiment with Communism. I'm not just blaming Obama. Bush Jr., Bush Sr., and Bill Clinton had their hand in it as well. Most people who grew up in Communist Eastern Europe or Communist Asia will testify that what I say is true. Believe me or not, you will see it for yourselves in the next decade or two.
