I always think pictures are worth a thousand words. Idiots like Ayers and Obama cannot argue against reality. Communism and socialism lead to poverty. I am paraphrasing Margret Thatcher, "The problem with Socialists, sooner or later, they run out of your money." The link and picture below are reality checks of Communism's failure. It is true for North Korea (vs, South Korea) as it was for East Berlin (vs. West Berlin) and Eastern Europe (vs. Western Europe). The picture shows that the North Korean and bordering Chinese economies have not provided the economic environments required to produce good infrastructure such as an electrical grid. This picture was used in a news debriefing in December 2002.
