Hello Bob,

 GH>> For reasons unknown to us Lee Lofaso said thus to All:

 LL>>> May we all live in a land of idiots.

 GH>>  I'm sure we already do. :)
 GH>> "Socialism is a philosophy of failure, the creed of
 GH>> ignorance, and the gospel of envy, it's inherent virtue is
 GH>> the equal sharing of misery"

 GH>> Winston Churchill

 BK> Capitalism is poverty shared among all but the top 1%.

Capitalism is a modern-day variant of feudalism.
The same is true of socialism and fascism.

 BK> Socialism and capitalism are both failures, as far as bringing
 BK> prosperity to the mass. Only a mix of both has ever provided
 BK> real prosperity for the great mass of people.

A mix of different variants of feudalism?  What a silly concept!
Any such mix would be called something new!  Karl Marx thought he
had a great new idea.  A handful of Germans bought into it, but
the idea failed to catch on.  It was not until a few decades later
when a young lad by the name of Vladimir Lenin liked the idea
so much that Germans put him on a train to Russia where he toppled
the Czar and built an Evil Empire ...
