The making of true patriots.
I know this sounds un-American. But I'd keep taxing the rich more and more. Until we tax our way out of the nation's financial crisis. There's lots of wealth in the United States. Only thing is it's being horded by the rich. The upper 1 or 2 percent of the wealthiest. Yes, the wealthy could be the saviors of America. By agreeing to surrender much -- not all -- of their wealth. They'd still be rich. And just think about how much they'd be revered. They'd be pictured in our school textbooks along side of George Washington and Abraham Lincoln. As true patriots. As true Americans. Maybe we could start with the Wall Street bankers. By putting a 100 percent tax on their year-end bonuses. --Jim Broede

The rich don't give near enough. What this country needs is less big business and more big government. Government that serves the common good. Rather than putting money into the pockets of greedy capitalists. I'm opposed to unfettered capitalism. And proud of it. I want to be a new kind of American. One who champions the common good. Long live socialism!!! --Jim
Long live the Democracy of the United States of America!
We will never succumb to the policies you spew. If you really knew what you were talking about, you would see the ruination of the USA. You have absolutely no idea. Your writings are the writings of a lonely person who watches too much tv news. You are being brainwashed.
We are NOT a socialist country, and never will be, thank GOD!
Some of the best services we have in the United States of America are socialist programs. Public schools, the military, police and firefighters, the highway system, the federal park system, the waterworks, the US Postal Service and, not least, social security. Yes, thank gawd for socialism. We need more of it in the good ol' USA. There's nothing wrong with democratic socialism. All industrialized nations except the United States have universal health care. We don't have it yet because we're a backward nation. But we are starting to wake up. We'll get with it some day. --Jim
