Older students and the liberal arts

Anyways, socialism is often misunderstood. It's not communism. Incentives still exist, people still work hard. People still have freedom of speech and so forth. They just have the added benefit of security should things go wrong.

"The goal of socialism is communism." -Vladimir Lenin

There's no "incentive to work hard" if the government is going to coddle you when you aren't working.

The left in this country passes all kinds of tax laws and makes it impossible to run a business, but then when the CEO's adapt to the circumstance and send jobs overseas, they get slandered for being anti-union, not caring about the little guy, etc.

No wonder GM failed... No one can afford to pay a low skilled assembly line worker $35 an hour just because he's worked there 25 years to screw in lightbulbs.

But I'd still choose live a day in (semi) free America over 100 years in socialism.
