Socialism, in all its forms, has failed everywhere it's been tried.....a) because it goes against human nature and b) because ultimately it is unsustainable. And yet it seems that many still cling to the notion, in the mistaken belief that it just hasn't yet been implemented correctly. It's latest incarnation is a form of economic fascism. This too will fail.
I agree entirely - we are not all equal some people work harder than others and deserve more from life.I'm even prepared to admit someone out there maybe as good as me.Do you have to shout?
