If you look at what happened during Perestroika.. you'd see that just as much corruption is going on in WS and DC as there were in Moscow in 1985.

I used to be a proponent of Capitalism, until I did a case study on Sweden. If you see what they do for Sven O. Pubvic you'd be amazed. They're so much like us there, but pay 80% taxes and don't mind it..

For what?

To have something to fall back on when shit hits the fan. You lose your job, you go back to school for free to get another line of work. Seriously, look at Swedish Socialism.

I used to fear it because I thought it was Commie BS like Russia. But now I actually see what Obama is trying to do. What I don't like is this corruption creeping into it which turns everyone off of it.
I see they got you brain washed just like the rest of the country. I hope you liked your freedom.
