did rich sell out your momma for a buck americans take over .Have the days of barn raisings and community projects that help everyone become such a bad concept.
SINCE when did people working to make life better for the community become so wrong .
COULD it be the government ,now run by corporate america and its intrests have sold out the working man .
NO longer do we come together on anything and we all still have the same problems that have plagued man for centuries .
the working man only wants whats his and for people to give him the chance to own a piece of land , a secure job outside of the local and federal jobs so prevelent today .this is only creating more poverty and a wider gap between those who have security and those who do not.
i have seen both sides of america corporate greed and the working man .
the numbers do not reflect the attitude of most americans .
WAKE up ,those people who are living the dream are all part of government by the people for it's own self intrests.

Well, socialism didn't give Americans the lifestyle we have and enjoy. Socialism is definitely the way to go if you are unmotivated and don't have dreams of two cars, a 3 br 2ba house with a couple acres. Corporate America needs educated and motivated individuals to operate the corporation. A corporation isn't a monster rather it is a union of professionals providing a product that is sold to people who want and need the product. It is called free enterprise. So when did free enterprise become a bad word? Probably when you decided you wanted someone else to provide for you. Just realize that if someone else provides for you, you won't get much. Ask our friends who lived under the Soviet Union. They are experts on what socialism provides. And by the way, I am Swedish, Sweden is a socialist nation. Taxes in a socialist nation are near 75% of your income. Getting "ahead" is much more difficult when you cannot choose what to do with your earnings. Trust me.

Why do so many people insist on pretending to be asking a question but then start preaching, horribly.
Socialism isn't a bad word, Communism is the bad word, unfairly of course.
Socialism it self is in our government right now. We have a Capitalism-Socialism hybrid. It's mostly Capitalism but it's part socialism. So calm down, buddy. Nothing you say on a mini-"answers" site will change anyone's opinion.

To answer your question. Socialism was never a good word in America. The American communist party woke up to this fact back in the 30's and relabeled themselves liberals instead of socialists. They then took over the democratic party. That's why Ronald Reagan became a Republican.
Your long monologue under your question is alarming

Maybe you should get out more. I recently participated in a project sponsored by Home Depot to build a playground for developmentally disabled children. Home Depot donated all the equipment and all the participants were volunteers. It happens everyday all across this country. It's not socialism. It's community spirit. It has nothing to do with "ism"s at all you dolt. It has to do with human spirit. Quit trying to label everything in terms of politics.

socialism has never had a place in America.
Liberals and their insane redistribution of the wealth programs-that give free money to lazy a*sed people , who don't want to work...just collect a check. And then give em a tax rebate, too!
That's F-ed up!
Most Americans could a give a sh*t less about those kind of people. We are tired of being OVER taxed and over worked .
The rest of your ramblings , don't mean anything. Just more propaganda.

During the Cold War, when people were whipped into a frenzy of anti-Communism. Noted American Socialists such as Eugene Debs were often put into prison, and were treated as if they were "Communist Sympathizers".

Wealthy industrialists (capitalists) control the media and socialism has always been a bad idea (word) to them.
If the world was entirely socialist, wealthy people would have to work just like everyone else.

True.
It's to confuse the working class into voting for Republicans who screw them out of benefits and ship their jobs overseas.It is for the self-interest of rich conservatives who want to get richer,at the working man's expense.Money has to come from somewhere.
