While I don't agree with socialism I also don't agree with the form of capitalism that goes on today in the US.
There are plenty of people out there who are under-employed, plenty of people who have jobs and have a hard time making ends meet living a very modest lifestyle. Employers are cutting costs and providing from bad to worse healthcare options and leaving the employees to pay higher premiums despite worse coverage. And don't even mention retirement, even if you don't get laid off after 15 years with the same company, your retirement account is a joke.
While people love to use the perfectly able bodied people on welfare that choose to be lazy as an example, they never talk about those who have jobs in many cases multiple and are still struggling. Usually they say things like " well that's life, they should have gotten a better education ". Don't you guys realize that in a functioning society you need people to perform ALL of the jobs that make the society work? And in order for it to keep working, people at every level should be able to put a roof over their head, go on vacation once a year,put their kids through college, and retire at a reasonable age.
If you think that Obama is the greatest threat to this country's future, you are beyond ignorant.
