What's wrong with "Democratic Socialism"?


Funny how health insurance, cable tv/internet, nice cars, and cell phone service aren't listed in Maslow's hierarchy, like liberals think they should be ;)

As for the cycle of poverty, I listen to Dave Ramsey over Wikipedia.

The point of my reference to Pursuit of Happyness is that the character's "opportunity" wasn't when he was offered the internship, it was back when he was in the taxi solving the Rubix cube. If he hadn't seized the opportunity then to demonstrate his ability to problem solve, he would not have gotten his foot in the door, so to speak. All of his later opportunities were opened by that one success. Too many people don't recognise when opportunity knocks; they aren't watching for it, they're wallowing in how horrible their life is.

Cable TV and Nice cars arent
My family has neither
The rest kind of are if you think...

Totally agree, TV and nice cars are not necessities. I drive to work everyday in my 89 Ford Taurus, which breaks down every other month, and I don't have cable or satellite TV either. Some might say cell phones are a necessity but I would tend to disagree. However, I think it is very important that I be able to reach my family members of course :)
