in reply to: What do you mean? actually he is pro-capitalist. Give us th evidence that he is pro-socialist.

you wrote: Ever hear of afterschool babysitting?

That is not pro-socialist. At its very paranoic worst, that could be considered social engineering, but it is not SOCIALIST!

Words have meanings. If you mean to imply that Arny wants the government to be involved in social concerns that you don't want the government involved in, say that. But the word "socialist" means that the government controls the means of production. Admittedly the meaning has enlarged enough to include a government that taxes the people at a confiscatory rate and then controls the economy almost totally; but that is clearly outside what Arny wants.

Again, you don't have to like or agree with Arny ( I don't agree with him), but at least BE FAIR.

Actually, it doesn't. That's communism. Never called him a communist. A couple of his advisors might come close to that definition, though.
