OIC. Anyone who thinks this capitalist system will bring the average citizen prosperity and therefore, labors to support(or profit) from such a system I would define as untrustworthy. Anyone who is delusional about the realities of this exploitive system is not trustworthy. Not trustworthy to the extent that they need not be making decisions that have an effect on great numbers of people.

Heads of corporations are not elected. Those on the boards of directors for schools and foundations are not elected. These people have the power to hire and fire at will. They also make all policy decisions concerning the institutions they represent. If a teacher goes against the grain or starts to teach too critically of government, they are in jeopardy of losing there livelihood. You call that democracy? I don't think so.

Socialism works in quite a few places, my friend. It may have its share of problems but the base of those actually being represented in policy making is far broader than in the US. They are aware of what their taxes are being spent on because they see the results in their elevated health and well being, and it is not going to the Military Star Wars Bailout Corporate Welfare Industrial (conquer the world with pseudo-democracy) Prison Complex.

You should think more deeply about the relationship of equality and liberty. This is where you get hung up. There must be a synergistic balance. When you make equality more important than liberty you are making a vile judgment and diminishing the liberty, free will, and sovereignty of the vast majority. We are called as individuals to serve mankind, not to support fascism under the pretext of economic justice, where the individual is absolved of the responsibility for one another and burden placed on an unloving, incapable, unfair, unresponsive, relentlessly abusive government. Be an example. Don't support tyranny that takes the opportunity for others to be one. Yours is a doctrine of hate. ...

I know you don't see it that way , but it is materialism, and that is built on greed and hate.
