Arguing with my Dad

First, I have to say, I do not agree with the following argument. My dad wants me to argue with him, so i did. The original article can be found at:  http://jiminger.com/blog/?p=351

Here, the problem falls down to one thing, Socialism.

“Socialism is a system where the government directly owns and manages businesses. Corporatism is a system where businesses are nominally in private hands, but are in fact controlled by the government. In a corporatist state, government officials often act in collusion with their favored business interests to design polices that give those interests a monopoly position, to the detriment of both competitors and consumers.”

This article states what a Socialist is, and by no means is this happening in America.  Actually, socialism is for the common good. Say you just got laid off, have no money, and are a hard-working American with no work to work hard on! You can no longer afford healthcare. Wouldn’t you feel so happy if someone gave you healthcare?

Also, taxes! Uncle Sam is taxing you to increase Government spending. Obviously, you have no trust in the people you (you as in the American people) voted for. 1) that’s hypocritical, and 2) it’s getting spent on something that needs to have money spent on! come on here people!
