This country is run by corporation, no doubt about it. Politicians only do what pays more. I can't wait until people wake up and finally start doing things for them selves instead of depending on the BIG FED. I don't believe in socialism because it gives someone else the responsibility. If only people can start working together at a local level and set aside their petty differences you can change the world one town at a time. Kevin from gall bladder symptoms

That people do not want to be in charge of their own lives is truly saddening. If I wanted Western European Socialism, I would move there. The United States of America and Europe seem to be ships passing one another in the political night, with Europe finally realizing the unsustainability of their bloated nanny states and electing more free-market minded politicians and America under Obama racing to achieve the socialist dream. Very interesting times we live in, indeed.

France is currently DESTROYING SOCIAL SECURITY. It's destroying everything 'social' like postal services, railways, etc. He who sees socialism in Europe should check his facts first. The ideology of selfish stupidity known as 'capitalism' is destroying society here in Europe. Today's capitalism means more power for the already too powerfull.

The US is the most powerful and most successful country in the world. We didn't get that way by being socialist. We work hard and pay our own way. Obama's plan will cause more layoffs, outsourcing and off-shoring. It's too big and costs too much money. Why not focus more on getting people meaningful jobs so they can pay for health care themselves? If you want more socialism you can move to Europe.

Considering Mr. Santorum's public intrusion into the private affairs of the family of Terri Schiavo, any discussion he might offer regarding the nexus of government and medicine is without merit. Just more reactionary jive.
