You may want to read posts #9 & #11 and hear what a Canadian thinks about that.Canada is socialist. And it's socialism which our country needs. Other top 1st world nations thrive on socialism. But the regressives ( republicans) in our country want to hold onto the capitalism lie.
Capitalism only works for the 1%. The rest of us 99% have been screwed by capitalism.
During the primaries I remember Bernie going on about one of the Scandinavian countries and what a successful socialist country it was. I then read an article quoting the prime minister or premier of the country saying "please tell Bernie to stop saying we are socialists, we are not, he's going to scare businesses away". She then went on to explain that their business regulatory system was much smaller than the US due to a restructuring in the 1990s. Plus they have lower corporate tax rates than the US.
So you may want to try and look around and find those 1st world nations thriving on socialism and let us know who they are.
