“A socialist thinks no one should have a house like that.”

I had a house like that in 1983 and lost my ass in the crash of the oilfield. Oil went from 37 dollars a barrel to 7 dollars a barrel before it was over.

I did not bemoan my fate or blame capitalism. I sold my house, my airplane and went back to University and obtained a new degree in Pharmacy.

I now have a better place to live than that house I sold.
Capitalism gave me the opportunity to hit bottom and turn around and come out on top again.

Socialism is a wonderful concept with one “small problem.” it does not work. It pulls people down to a common level of misery and rewards the corrupt on the top. It has a lot in common with “Crony Capitalism” which is not capitalism but simply corruption by corrupt leaders working on behalf of the state and their own benefit. They have a name for this it is Fascism.
