The U.S. is a republic - look at it's constitution.

Obama is a socialist, and I don't see how the two can work together.

To be fair, Minimum Wage in the US is virtual slavery (unless its changed n the last year or so radically)

What's bottom end over there?

£5.73/Hr with 24 Days paid holiday per year at this moment in time.

Not as impressive to show off with the current exchange rate or I'da mentioned it in the last post :lol:

No, perhaps I should have asked what percentage of your workforce is unemployed.

You're getting high marks for nonsensical content, now; record-setting marks, actually - entertainment value is also through the roof.

Dunno about "capitalism" (although it definitely worked like that in old Czechoslovakia, come to think of it), but yeah, it's not the same thing either.

Reason I brought it up is that afaik, socialism was meant to be a bridge between conventional society and communism, originally. I reckon.

Yet we've had a bunch of gutless wonders denounce communism, due to it being "evil" or somesuch. That's social democracy for you.

Communism is more utilitarian than anything, IMO, "for the greater good". And as far as I'm concerned it brings some good ideals, although it may be a tad uncompromising.

Socialism is better in that it picks out a lot of the good, and focuses more on the individual.

Social democracy is milder still. But like I said, I don't reckon Obama is even that far left, probably.
