I'm so tired of endless, meaningless debates. Mao Tse-tung said "All Power proceeds from the barrel of a gun", or something very similar. That sums up the Epitome of Socialism, whether Fascist or Communist. Other Thuggary, depending upon allegience to a Dictator and their Aparachiks, morphs into All the Best for "the Best/Most Loyal, a form of socialist poverty for the masses will emerge.

"The Point" being, All Authority depends upon Force. John Adams said our Constitutional Gov was suited Only for a Moral People, and was wholly inadequate for any other (people).

Moral People require little enforcement from a government authority..... Also a Moral people will not Tolerate an Immoral Gov......

I am a Self Made Man, not rich, but walked away from Corporate Work early on, became self-employed for 30+ years living by my wits to support my family, ups & downs, but Free!!! Never, ever regretted removing the yoke of being owned by others.

I Wanted to Create More than I did, it wasn't about greed or amassing wealth, It was about the Pursuit of Happiness, and I'm satisfied with my life's journey at the end of every day. The gub-Mint did very little to assist me, mostly setting up barriers and expenses to lessen the chances of success.
