Socialist vs maverick. Sounds like McCain is not a conservative (if I knew that then what is the problem?). The problem is in history; a subject matter that many americans deride just like geography. History tells us that the advent of the industrial era caused many abuses precisely because unbriddled capitalism cares for itself and no one else. IF anyone reads history you will see that the work week was something as ridiculous as 12 hrs days, child labor was rampant (the child of the poor, not the rich) and many people died because of the total disregard for workers safety that industrialists had. That is why government has to intervene; capitalism unchecked will go as far as re establishing indebted labor (in my ignorant opinion).
Who am I? A REPUBLICAN (the Reagan type). Why do I write like I did? After 4 years of seeing my brother try to get a good paying job with benefits he has not gotten it and now seems to have CHF and AVM’s. He tried to apply for medicaid but was told that he works (9.00/hr) and therefore he doesn’t qualify. If I have to see my brother die because of lack of medical care then one of two things need to happen; Socialists must acheive power (hey! there are 40 million people without health insurance) or capitalism; just like all three branches of power, must have it’s checks and balances.
One more thing; if socialists ever come to power it will be because of us Republicans!! Not because of the democrats.
