And this is what I love about this country and why I wont be moving anytime soon even though there are a few other nations I have been to that I like every bit as much as the United States....

Its that we DO have such a good mix of systems that it keeps a sort of checks and balances system.

At certain times we are more Conservative, at others we are more Liberal. Sometimes Capitalism is on the rise, other times Socialism.

I like certain aspects of each one of those systems and so I think it always allows everyone to have a decent shot at success.

Now I DO think we could use a bit more Left leaning philosophies in our nation...But I definitely want to keep the right leaning ones that we have as well, minus 1 or 2 of them. (for me mainly the religious stuff).
