Did you just put "election" and "Red Communist Party" in the same sentence?!?!? What planet are you from? Hey genexia, maybe I'm confusing you with another board member (and if I am, I applogize in advance) but aren't you in the USA on a work visa? So you hate our country SO much that you can't shut up about it but you seem to like the job situation here enough to collect a paycheck. (Again, if that's not you, I'm sorry.)

Hmm, I really don't think that you've got me confused with someone else, so I can't accept that apology. But you did get a few things wrong;
I am in the USA because I married a US citizen. For the record, I have been unemployed for most of the past 18 months. And yes, it is hurting my family financially, and I don't get to buy many toys at the moment. But I don't gripe about it because I know that there are a lot of US citizens without jobs at the moment, and I don't feel that it would be my place to do so. My (US born) wife and son might prefer that I were more aggessive in my job hunting though. After all it affects them.

Another incorrect assumption that you have made is that I hate the USA. Nothing could be farther from the truth - It is a beautiful country whose citizens are kind and generous. I fully support the USA in her aspirations of liberty and justice.

But regardless, you are the one imposing your European popular Socialism on the US because it's in fashion.

Where the heck did you get this from? LOL. I haven't said anything about my economic beliefs. All I said was that you had no right to dictate that capitalism was the only option.

Who knows, maybe Europe will debut Monarchies at the next Winter Fashion Show in Paris. I'm not imposing anything - I'm simply stating what this country was founded on. Founded on. Stands for. There is nothing about being "popular at the moment."

Sorry, I just re-read the Declaration of Independance and I found absolutely nothing suggesting that unfettered captialism was the principle upon which this country was founded. Lots of stuff about a tyrannical King and his actions, but nothing about economic theory. Ironically, if there is one statement that is widely regarded to embody what this country is founded on, it is,

WE hold these Truths to be self-evident, that all Men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the Pursuit of Happiness

Tell that to the guys in Cuba.

(Oh, wait a minute, you can't. You're not allowed to travel there.)
