I suggest we ignore mugsy until he provides us with documentation that Arnold is a "socialist." Problem with that is that the term is so nebulous. According to some on this thread, people who have all of their natural teeth and always take the Marlboro from between their lips before telling the State Trooper who pulled them over to "kiss my a**" could conceivably be described as "socialist."

Let me suggest some books for your edification. Socialism, by Ludwid Von Mises and The Road to Serfdom, by F.A. Hayek.
Essentially, socialism is the belief that the state has an inherent right to control any mode of production or distribution of wealth by whatever means and to any degree that it sees fit.
By the way strela, you accuse me of being drunk. Is that not a personal attack?
