Sandra, I saw this http://www.takepart.com/article/2013/12/31/would-your-salary-be-better-under-socialism-answer-will-shock-you?cmpid=tp-ad-outbrain-general and wondered if you'd seen it and what you thought.
It's very sad about Americans generally. We have such a narrow political spectrum -- we do NOT have elections, as in Europe, in which actual socialists vie for office and often win. Most people have no idea what socialism entails -- as with the utter nonsense about Obamacare, which is (honest to god) a private-enterprise-run alternative to a true, single-payer system as in Britain or Canada. So it's mostly just pathetic. What's needed is better civic education. svb
