'We Are All Socialists Now'

I WISH!

But for what it's worth, yes, we are all Socialists. And we all like it: from the Jim DeMints of Congress on the government's payroll to the Bernie Sanders of Vermont; from progressive so-called 'elite' to the most avid Tea Party members. Seriously! Try suggesting to the latter that we cut Medicare and Social Security. And, in ten years, when the Healthcare Reform measures will have fully been enacted for a few years, try suggesting you do away with that, too!

Maybe I shouldn't be so pessimistic, after all. Maybe we are moving toward Socialism... albeit at a snail's pace....
