Eh, Well, We are morphing into Captialisim versus Socialisim are we? They tried Socalisim on the old Soviet Union. In Socalisim or Communism everybody is supposed to be equal. Well there were shortages all the time in the Soviet Union. People stood in line for as long as 45 minutes to get some food products but when the got to the front of the line much was gone. When Kruchshev visited the U.S. he couldn't believe what he saw in the grocery stores. They took him from a place in the east to the Midwest where he saw another grocery store. He couldn't believe it. He thought they packed everything from the earlier store and put in the store he was visiting. Today, you can take a grocery list in any grocery store here in the U.S. and get everything you want on the list. And if you can't get it from one supplier you can probably get it from two more. That is an example of Capitalisim or more to the point Free Enterprise. Is Capitalisim perfect? No. Business can and do fail. Gee now let me think. They say Charity begins at home. That means before you ask somebody else to do it for you, you need to try to do it yourself. Yes, that requires effort. And last but not least, there is still No free lunch. Your social security did not come out of your social security kitty. It's a big pot of gold that everybody who worked gets. Whether or not you worked hard, hardly worked, whether you carried your coworkers or they carried you, you all get the same. There is a free lunch, thats it. Get a job where you dont have to do anything, free lunch. Socialism wont work in this country, but a FEW things can and do work
