Don't move to Europe. Socialism is running rampant here...but for some reason people are happy. 19% sales tax and 19% federal tax but my kids will attend a university for next to nothing. Strict as hell laws...but people let their children walk to school alone at 5yo. Not many people own guns, due to strict gun policies, but here in Germany you rarely hear about people shooting other people. Universal, state-run healthcare...but if one of my sons break a bone, it won't break my bank account (the last time I checked the WHO said Germany was ahead of both the US and Canada in terms of healthcare.)

Europe will sucks 4 u, dood. Stay away from the socialism.

15 reasons why socialism sucks

# t’s a system of authoritarian political control
# It’s anti-freedom
# It’s one step away from communism
# Promotes laziness
# You own NOTHING while the government owns EVERYTHING
# It lets the government tell me what I can and can’t do with my money
# Destroys free markets
# It’s tyrannical
# It’s detrimental to individual liberty
# It gives losers/drug addicts/poor/homeless people a free pass
# Does not reward hard working individuals
# Does not define man as “created equally” but instead “deserves everything equally”
# Gives the common man no reason to excel, thrive, succeed at anything.
# Nazi Germany/Stalin/Ottoman Empire/China/North Korea/Cuba..need I say more?
# If it’s so great, why do Canadians, Cubans, and Europeans flock to America when they need immediate specialized health care? ….. Cause when they need help, they’re told to “Get in line!”

This ideology goes directly against what this country was originally founded upon and why we thrived faster than any country in the world in only 200 years. We are free, we take care of our own and we do it the way WE want to do it. We own guns, we keep our own money, we invest, hire, and spend, and ultimately grow exponentially. Capitalism is the greatest thing that could have happened to a young United States 200 years ago. It brought us to the status we have today in this world. A military and economic superpower



another:

Anytime you give to government the responsibility and authority to provide government-made jobs, old-age financial security, “free” health care, and “free” education and indoctrination of children, it will control the lives of the people who live under its jurisdiction, and individual liberty and freedom of choice are sacrificed.

Sure, security is important — but anyone can find security from a prison warden. But, despite socialist promises, bureaucratic programs of the political state cannot guarantee security anyway. Instead the socialist state uses its coercive powers to seize the wealth and properties of those who have earned financial security by their own hands. Socialism does not help poor people; rather, socialism makes people poor so that they have to become dependent on the socialist state and therefore beholden to those in charge of the government.

Socialism is the ultimate exploitative monopoly. No competitors (peaceful market alternatives) are allowed. All major industries, including food, banking, transportation, communication, health care, education, and insurance are owned and operated as state monopolies.

Great, now we get to hear how historic this is "Black President" "Black thiis" "Black that" Bla Bla Bla Bla Bla

I just got home, turned to the news channel and I have heard this stupid shit at least 6 times already.

I don't give a **** if he is Black, only a goddamn moron would. I care that he protect our freedoms and our Constitution....that is what is important you goddamn dumb****ing cocksucking Americans. Not how he looks, his skin color, nor his goddamn party!

I take offense to being called a moron, but I also don't expect you to understand the cultural significance. No knock on you brotha, I know you are a very intelligent person.

Here's the significance for me, my father and grandfather both fought for this country during a tim when blacks couldn't vote. I had the unfortunate pleasure of being told by my 2nd grade teacher that I could not be president because I'm black and maybe I should be a basketball player or football player (she was right, I ended up being a professional football player, lol). BTW, that was in Irwin, Pennsylvania. But now I can look my children in the eyes and tell them without a shred of doubt that they can be WHATEVER they want as long as they work hard!

Again, I don't expect anyone of you to understand the historical significance. But I also know none of you don't have to look into the eyes of black (or half black in my children's case) childrens face and explain how the world works. So with that said, I am full of pride tonight and I am greatful to all the Americans, black, white, hispanic, asian, polynesian, etc., for seeing past race and showing the world that this country is above scare tactics and ready for unity!

I agree with ending all racism...Included in that is Affirmative Action and Equal Opportunity employment...Instutionalized reverse racism...

we can still keep sexism though right?

i mean gzz, we need some fun.

[Doc.Sust]

obama isnt the first democrat ever elected. when any other democrat was elected, did america become a socialist nation? no. why would it be any different now?

[Lozgod]

even though i wanted Mccain, im glad Obama won. I have some weird need for people to learn their lesson lol. i want to rub it in their faces a couple years from now or something lol.

Are you kidding. Look at what Bush did. Now thats something to rub in someones face. People are comparing this time to the Great Depression. Amazing how they are still in denial. How someone could vote republican for a third time is amazing. McCain should of got 0% of the popular vote if anyone in this country watches even 30 seconds of the news once a month.

That's all good, and everything, but I'm living in a country that has and upholds many socialistic ideals. It isn't as bad as you might think. Until you have lived it, don't knock it. Have you ever been to Europe? Come for a month. You probably won't want to leave...

godfather, i answered your question about medicare/cade. it is on page one . not sure if you saw it

because america has gotten stupider, or more stupid I think is how you say it.

sounds good except for 19% sales tax. that sucks

[Bojangles69]

go socialism!!!!!
id pick socialism over communism anyday.

[Ernst]

Congratulations, Senator Obama. Well played. Don't **** it up.

[Mulciber]

big ups for O... woot woot..

[Lozgod]

lol. Obama is going to totally change our government to socialism or communism. lol. lol. lol. lol. lol.

I guess it isn't too far fetched. Bush was working towards a dictatorship with one bill alone. The Patriot Act.

[Amorphic]

oh my god not the dreaded socialism. come on guys, a little government intervention isnt the end of the world. i believe in business and economic development, but damn, every now and then EVERYTHING needs some form of regulation.

im pleased that obama won. its not going to be nearly as dramatic as everyone makes it out to be, but im glad its him over mccain

It's worse in countries like Sweden, but I think Germany has supported socialism (in some form) since before the era of the National Sozialists. The other Western European countries I've been to are pretty similar.

That's the thing I hate the most about Germany. But when I realize how much happier I am here, well, paying those extra taxes doesn't seem all that bad.

No matter who one, he is walking into a disaster...there is a lot of loose ends and a huge mess to clean up. It's not an ideal way to go into a presidency, people are going to hate him, and some are going to love him. It's the way the everything works. We just need to deal with it and hope that our economy can recover and some changes get made in the way things have been done.

Yep, and January is a long way away. So if he gets offed before then, then does he technically count as the first black president if he never serves a day in office?

(And on a side note, I am sick alrady of people calling him the first "black" president. He is less than 10% black. If a guy ran for president and was 50% Japansese, 40.4% Mexican, and 9.6% Irish, would people keep calling him white? I don't get it)

how do u figure he's only 10% black? His father is a black African from Kenya, it doesn't get much blacker than that. Lets keep it real, the guy is black, just like tiger woods, derrick Jeter, etc.!

Both my parents are half white but when I walk into a room, I guarantee no one sees a half black man, they see a rather large BLACK MAN!!

[MuscleScience]

Doc...Should I reconsider med school?? Part of Obamas plan is to reduce the cost of Medicaid/Medicare...This obviously means slashing reimbursements even further=less pay for doctors...Whats your take on this as someone in the profession already...

You will be fine just dont be a GP, you will deal with endless waves of illegal immigrants and pill seekers.

if he was only 10% black he would still be considered black..

Too many people believe only what they hear. Too many people believe in every internet article they read. Too many people buy into the propoganda that the media instigates. Your somment pretty much covered it.

Obama won, all your Republican asshats, you had your savior in Bush for 8 years and look what happened. Before you begin to judge or scrupulate Obama, give him his 4 years, and lets see what he can pull during his term in office.

I'm American, man. I was in the US Army and got stationed in Germany in 2001, right after 9/11. I got out in 2003 and just stayed 'cause they need experienced IT people here.
