Day after day I wonder about what they put in that water over at MSNBC. Lawrence O'Donnell is at it again! Cuba is so great! We are all Socialists! Lawrence O'Donnell: We're all Socialists.
So let me get this straight, Cuba is becoming more like the United States in that we are more efficiently socialist? How in the world is the United States socialist??? When did I start voting for socialists for congress, the senate, or the White House (though we already have a socialist in the White House currently)? In America we don't believe in socialism as O'Donnell wants his few dozen followers who watch his program to believe. American is capitalists, and we have grown and prospered due to the belief in lassaiz-faire economics which has helped America become an economic superpower as well as creating a better standard of living for everyone.
And tell me when did public education become socialists? When did the socialists claim public education as their own? No not at all! Somehow Americans even with their belief in rugged individualism had free education in the early 1800's long before Europe did. Are capitalists not moral? Do capitalists not believe also in a common humanity to help themselves? This goes back to Tocqueville folks when he writes of civil and political associations! True Americans are not and never have been socialists!
Do we want America to look like Cuba? Do we want a nanny state that will inevitably self destruct under its own weight like in Europe? Do we want an authoritarian state telling us what to do because it is in the interest of "the people"? All of your answers should be no because in America we have been successful, forging a new path that has brought us to prosperity! If you want to live in a socialist state ask the Cubans how they like it, and if you still want to live in one then move there! I like socialism in America like i like sugar in my coffee, non-existent. Socialism leads only to disaster. Do you want to live on $65 dollars a year? I didn't think so.
