If you want to call "socialism" - a universal router configuration program where
I can go to any partner at any time and get help without worrying
about preconditions or RIDICULOUSLY OVER PRICED CCIE configuration bills. If
that's socialism, that's fine, I like socialism more than my receiving a pay
check after doing the study, sacrificing my time and life, and working my butt off
day to day to maintain that knowledge (capitalism).
"Socialism" is just a word, like CCIE is just a cert that scares people. I'd rather
not have to pay to study for my CCIE (or NP/DP, heck, even the CCNA).
Really, people don't deserve what they work for... ever.
It's okay to redistribute wealth, just like you would routes.
It's okay to go to the bum, kick him in the gut, take his coat and his beggars cup
and give it to the bum who doesn't have a coat or a cup. If he resists it,
call him a capitalist pig and tell him he's not progressive or tell him he's from
the radical right.
It's just wealth redistribution, and the folks who have should be willing to have the folks who
dont' steal from them.
.... jeez ....
Everybody needs to read the book 'economics in one lesson'. Oh, and the
debt isn't from capitalism, it's from the 'progressive' programs that were never
funded but used to buy votes.
