Socialism, well-executed, may work. We don't know because we've never seen it.
Socialism, poorly executed, is a disaster. We know because we're seeing it being played out in our daily lives.
Nationally, Barack Obama is an avowed Socialist and as such, his policies and practices are a menace to the economy. His ideas, centering on super-power bureaucracy in Washington, stifle innovation and business expansion. Forty million people are on food stamps. Hospital emergency rooms are clogged with poor people whom the doctors and nurses are forced to treat at gunpoint. Major car companies were recently nationalized to rescue the workers' union jobs. Overall employment is going down, not up. Payments to people who don't work just keep getting sweeter and sweeter. It's all bad.
Everywhere locally, idealistic environmentalist air-heads, tutored by the EPA run roughshod over industry in the name of saving insignificant plants and animals from non-existent "perils." At one state level, the California Air Resources Board is a monumental example of crushing regulations. ARB Their attitude: "We battle pollution without regard for who gets wasted in the crossfire."
The Curmudgeon declares that, for 2012, it's Anybody But Obama. Best slogan: "Obie Must Go"
