69. Democratic Socialism is Best

Sun Oct 14, 2012, 09:55 PM

Oct 2012

Since this is the only form of government which both ensures our Freedom and our Survival against those who would attempt to control life's necessities for profit and power...like water, air, energy, food, shelter and the control of pollution.

We are still able to vote and free to worship or not and start businesses etc but we join together in making sure everyone can share in making necessities available at cost for all. Just like libraries, police departments, fire departments, FDA, EPA. Public education etc...all socialist programs to ensure safe food and water. It works.

We should also have a 100% billionaire tax to curtail rampant greed. Just when is $999,000,000 not enough?
