socialism creates dire poverty while the leaders get filthy rich see>Chavez, Castro, Kim clan

When I was in Buenos Aires I was struck by the poverty. There was a begger who couldn't stand - no legs or something as I recall - and there he was in the middle of the affluent shopping street (Florida St as I recall). A pitiful sight - along with the slums on the outskirts of the city. They don't seem to have much of a safety net.

I loved Argentina and read recently at one time during the last century they were more prosperous than the US - that is before the socialists took over. However, there is socialism in Holland and the Scandinavian countries and for whatever reasons they seem able to handle it. Maybe because the people stayed industrious.

Wonder if we'll ever recover from our socialist POTUS?

They sure do. Give the churches and the people an unfettered way and they will take care of the masses. 0bama is taking away the power of the people to take care of each other.
