Apparently 36% of Americans having a positive view of Socialism. Yet, the same poll shows that Americans react positively to the terms: "small business" & "free enterprise". Capitalism: 2:1 in favor! Socialism has the lowest positive rating and the highest negative rating. This has already been reflected in Scott Brown's win in Taxichussetts and will continue to sweep re-elections over the next few years.....we pray!
Listen to Margaret Thatcher on Socialism!
These brief exchanges took place during Margaret Thatcher's last speech in the House of Commons on 22 November 1990. The Prime Minister:
I think that the hon. Gentleman knows that I have the same contempt for his socialist policies as the people of east Europe, who have experienced them, have for theirs. I think that I must have hit the right nail on the head when I pointed out that the logic of those policies is that they would rather the poor were poorer. Once they start to talk about the gap, they would rather that the gap were that—[indicating[—down here, not this—[indicating[—but—[indicating.] So long as the gap is smaller, they would rather have the poor poorer. One does not create wealth and opportunity that way. One does not create a property-owning democracy that way.
