"Things change, but the US hasn't lost anything yet. It is only if we allow our country to drift into the socialist/communist mindset do we end up like old Europe."
What do you think has been happening to the US since the Great Society? It slowed down a little after Reagan was elected and a little more after the 94 lections, but now more and more citizens have less and less to loose, and have less and less hope for the future. Now hopfully they will see Kerry isint any better on trade/immigration issues than Bush is, but still, do you think a majority of American voters will continue to accept a falling standard of living?
If the Corps continue to gut the middle class, say hello to a social democracy, and goodbye to a free republic.
