How many are living the American capitalistic dream? Most are not. Most work for someone who created the job, by taking a risk at creating a business. The Business owner took the risk, and is thriving getting rich. The workers are making him money. The majority of americans work under someone else. Therefore a switch to socialism would not effect many, as many would not see the difference.
Most people have a crappy 8-5 job, and just want to get home and see whats new on the idiot box. Mindless sheep. Most don’t know they are just slaves to another mans dream.
Socialism is the future of America. With the US consumer having no means to finance thier lavish lifestyles, I see many of the investors/Entrpenours taking thier money elsewhere in the world to invest.
Karl Marx Predicted this would happen many years ago.
