Socialism Versus Capitalism

In a recent Rasmussen Poll, only 53% of Americans being polled said they liked capitalism. Of the remaining, 20% said they would prefer socialism and 27% were apparently too dumb to know the difference between the two different kinds of societies (See Full Story).

To those who would prefer socialism, I would like to point them to France where, every night, cars are being burned in protest to a society that takes care of their every need but gives them no self-gratification in terms of employment and upward mobility (See Full Story). For the poor with any ambition, that's what socialism is all about.

Believe me, the expression, known the world over, of "Living the American Dream" didn't come to be out of any form of socialist government. The "American Dream" is why so many leave their socialist counties behind to come and stay in the warm, capitalist confines of the United States.
