"Socialism at it's pure is one giant state corporation and those who are on top live 100 times better than those who are at bottom."
Thats just silly, and clearly stated by someone who doesn't even own a damn passport.
There aren't any countries that are "pure socialism" - in Europe we have social democracies - there aren't a lot of beamers, there aren't a lot of beaters, our kids are well educated, well fed, our life expectancies are long, quality of life excellent, health care covered by taxes (and far far cheaper than in the US), and issues like drug dependency, child poverty, teen pregnancy and violent crime are at levels so low as to make america look like something out of "midnight express"
And this is only in third world italy. Countries like Sweden, Iceland, Finland and Denmark are LIGHT YEARS ahead of us down south..... oh - and they are far far more competitive economically than the US is too.
