Why the fuck are we so anti socialist anyway? Last time I looked, those semi socialist Germanic and Nordic states have the highest standards of living anywhere on the planet, and the highest per capita income levels to match. We can skip the nanny statism that comes with it, but the fiscal policy? It appears to be sound and work extremely well.

I am not at all convinced that this is the case.

Uppermost in your mind, when presenting this sort of thing, should be a very simple question: "What if we get all this in place, and then find out that the Republicans got voted into power? How might this sort of thing be abused?"
