I think I'd walk a slightly different line than you, re: the line between capitalism and socialism, but it's all good.

I'm not sure I'm for socialized healthcare. I had an intriguing conversation with a friend of mine, who's a nurse in Buffalo about Canada's healthcare system and there ARE advantages.. and disadvantages. I'm definitely for universal healthcare, however. And I agree that transportation should be government-owned, not privately owned.

And I also agree Reagan's Policies, and W. interpretation of said policies helped put us where we are right now.
