Socialsim built the middle class in America

[fhdz]

I have argued before that social democracy can only be successful in small, homogenous countries, like Scandistan.

I know you have; I'm not sure that it's a good argument, though.

Obviously, as you just stated essentially the opposite.

Yes. How else do you ensure an equality of opportunity across the states?

(Not that we do a particularly good job of that at the moment.)

I think that if everyone in America sends me 5 dollars I can think of a solution to the problem of inequality.

Or send Fahdizzle 5 bucks to ditch that goofy avatar.

I think that Maher is using "socialism" a little bit tongue and cheek.  He s using it the way that Fox News and hardcore Republicans use it to describe Obama's policies such as on healthcare. IF Obamacare is socialism, he argues, then is socialism such a bad thing?

5 dollars? Worthless.

'Socialsim'?  It's like Tim posted this thread or something.

Bill Maher's regular use of "socialism" is as an ironic response to the charges that anything short of Yi's complete abolition of government in order to create an unfettered dollarcracy is defined by its detractors as "socialism".

Doh, I wish I said that.

I've heard that from many a libertarian, but I don't why it can only work there.

Or Canada.  Oh wait.
