    Yeah, I don't think so. Social Security doesn't make America great, Walmart, Boeing, Microsoft, and all the other companies that provide for American prosperity make America great. Without them, there would be no Social Security. Without them, we wouldn't be the world's sole superpower. Without them, we wouldn't be able to spend as much on our military as the next 20 countries combined. As Calvin Coolidge said, "The business of America is business."

    I'm not sure about education and I say that as someone who taught in public schools.

    We need much better, though not necessarily more intrusive, oversight of business.

    How is your post any more of a concern than the growing evidence that Trump is a Russian mole in the White House, and several of Trump's foreign policy decisions were a direct result of conversations with Putin, wherein Putin told Trump what he (Putin) wanted, and Trump followed up with a decision enacting that desire. Prime example: When Trump suddenly & unexpectedly cancelled long-planned military exercises in conjunction with S Korea just before he met with N Korean dictator Kim Jong-Un. It has been shown that that decision was made immediately after a phone conversation between Trump & Putin, where Putin told Trump "No one wants these military exercises between the U.S. & S Korea to continue." So Trump stopped them. I think having a Russian mole in the Oval Office is MORE of a threat than Bernie Sanders poses.

    Yes. Sensible regulation is one of the bedrocks of our system.

    Democrats Are Wrapping a Gift for Trump.
    The modern Left seems to be a contest of who can be the most crazy.

    If your brand of Socialism isn't incompatible with our individual Liberty and Freedom then no harm is done to you by our rejection of it.

    Why I’m for Bernie in the Democratic Primaries.
    As one of Bernie’s heroes would say, sharpen the contradictions!

    You should read an economic theorist, and enlightment thinker, who’s theories actually brought freedom...Adam Smith, Karl Marx was a clear failure

    'Capitalism' is Marxist terminology. I prefer to call it the free enterprise system, which isn't an 'ism' but a natural pattern of human behavior that's been around as long as man has in which goods and services are voluntarily exchanged for the mutual benefit of both parties. Socialism is based on coercion.

    Yet capitalists made fortunes by pillaging other people's resources. Railroad tycoons were made through corporate welfare programs. A large portion of agricultural businesses in America's mid-west was established by first getting government land hand-outs through the Homestead Act. Pure capitalism only exists as a chalk-board exercise - same as with pure socialism and communism.

    Agreed. I like to use Free Markets. And the good news? Stalin is forever dead.

    IT’S ALWAYS GOOD WHEN STALIN’S DEAD: Happy Dead Stalin Day.
