The reason socialism has failed to take root in the US is the strong middle class. Globalism cost American job; If enough people are thrown out of work, they will vote for national healthcare, greater welfare benefits etc.

Mark my words. US will start to get the national health care system in 2008.

I think you are right. I don't want national healthcare. However, if employees will not offer benefits in order to be competetive with thirds world countries, what choice is there? Our system is built on a business model for benefits. My Dad never thought that was a good idea, he was right as he often was.

Somehow Hitlery will be able to push both this and work the immigration / jobs angle against the republican elitists.
