"SOCIALISM"
The right cries
When of speed limits
You suggest
What of of police
And firemen
And military
Or social security
What would they have
Anarchy
Every man for themselves
No taxes no rules
And the great scams
Of padding prophets
Exploding pay gaps
Corporate welfare
Corporate welfare
In the form of tax cuts
For which is the burden
Of the rest
Glen Beck marketing
God, money and guns
FREEDOM their cry
Freedom to pick pocket
Speed limits
Are not anti-car
Addressing monopolies
Is not socialism
Anarchy is what they want
No limits, no rules
Classtocracy
At the expense of the middle and poor
Of the free market
All should be
But not of what is
In slash and burn
Of China and India
We will become
Two classes
Instead of three
Compete compete
16 hour days
What is so wrong
About 30 cents an hour
They do it
And America should too
Raise the cost of living
Keep wages stagnant
FUCK THE MIDDLE AND POOR
YOU WANT SOCIALISM
NO NO NO
I just don't want it impossible
For my fellow human to live

Signature ? How ?
I know!, ask anyone in the eastern block. Socialism is the most successful form of government that we humans have come up with yet. Look at all the successful socio-democratic examples.... such as... hmmm... I can't think of any actually.... oh ya, communism failed on many levels, miserably... nm, forget everything I just wrote.

Did you read the poem or is your head stuck on FOX NEWS talking points?
There is no such thing as a utopia.
It pisses me off that people confuse an observation, "The pay gap is exploding and wages are not keeping up with the cost of living". How the fuck people think I am advocating Stalin's horrible rule is BULLSHIT.
We already have socialistic aspects. We have police, we have firemen, we have military and we have state colleges and public schools. AND SOCIAL SECURITY. When government builds our roads and highways OUR TAXES, which is a form of socialism, go to pay for PRIVATE contractors. Same with the fighter jets and missile systems and tanks. OUR TAXES which is a form of socialism PAY FOR THOSE THINGS TO PRIVATE CONTRACTORS.
NO ONE, LEAST OF ALL ME, is advocating getting rid of the private sector or the open market.
I am merely suggesting that the way things are going will be unsustainable and we will end up with cheap labor forces like India and China which WILL make living conditions worse for more and more people.
Knock it off with the false choice of either/or. Too much government and you get North Korea. Too little government and you end up with anarchy ruled by robber barons. NEITHER IS DESIRABLE!
Mubarak in Egypt IS A BILLIONAIRE. So if we are going to always say, money equals morality then all one is saying is "might makes right and money equals power" Then we should be happy that ONE MAN has all that power because being rich is the most important thing in the world. , Then we shouldn't judge Mubarak for being a capitalist and making money at the expense of his fellow citizens.
WE NEED our three class system. But just like a tropical fish tank, if the PH gets too high or too low the fish die.
Suggesting checks and balances and anti-trust laws IS NOT SOCIALISM.
Stop the bullshit accusation that somehow suggesting speed limits is anti-car. I would no more love Stalin or a closed market, than you would.
READ THE TITLE OF THE POEM.

Then why are you responding like this? "Just take my wallet and my keys"? This is the very stereotype I get upset about. Who wants to take your wallet and your keys?
I don't want Stalin's government. I don't want China's government. I simply think the pay gap and cost of living are too high for the poor and eroding the middle class.

I agree, I'm an middle class working average joe. I get killed with taxes and every annual 'raise' means less and less.
