Socializing all the costs and privatizing the profits is the philosophy. A one party state is coming soon. Other one party states are: China, Iraq, North Korea, Viet Nam, Nazi Germany. That's okay we still have free press so let's hear how the one party state has effected you personally:

Phatmonky,
At least we were given "other" as a choice, that makes it a lot better than an Australian poll, where you only get to choose who is worse, Adolf Hitler, Stalin, Satan, or ___________________(insert American here).
 
Who lost an arm and/or a leg? !
