Don’t rationalize socialism. I will always not care about subsidizing the following special interest groups:
1. Republican, church-going families with a blue collar income
2. The American companies who provide a livelihood for group 1

Agreed. It sounds like two ‘reporters’ inventing news that doesn’t really exist. But hey, they’re paid to write news stories. They’ve got to have something to write about. Why not jot down some speculation and anecdotes, and dress it up as news?

Please explain to me where the socialism is in my post, instead of labeling anything that does not meet your personal preferences as socialism. Do you even know what socialism means? Have you lived in a socialist country? Explain to me where I asked for "subsidizing" any group?

I don't care that you don't care for blue collar families. Your opinion is a very tiny drop in a very large pond. You asked me why I thought the article in question is BS and I gave my reasons. I don't care if you accept it or not. Apparently you are clueless as to what I wrote.

Good post! I agree there is no “FAIR” trade. How can there be fair trade when US is running hundreds of Billions in trade deficits every year? Our country is being sold down the river and most do not even realize it.

But.......if we force a “balanced” trade with China and others, our standard of living will take dive, because we have “unions”. Consumers in US are able to bypass union wages by buying cheap foreign goods. Therefore before we can have a fair trade, we must have free markets without artificial wage fixings demanded by unions.

You are right. Your post wasn’t socialist. I guess I wanted an over the top way to say I disagree with you.

And my apologies to you for coming of angry in my reply to you. The socialism reference got me.
