I'm not the one that called socialistic. Larry did.

BTW, who is the sourcing on that. It's just a chart - I'm probably
missing it but no data that I see. No explanation of how the chart was
arrived at and by what/whose yardstick.

But for proof about European socialism just google it. There's all
kinds of sources from all over the world. Some right, some left.

Where are the majority Socialist Governments, then? I hate to break
this to ya, but Socism has been irrelevant for years. Just a buncha
impotent guilt-ridden yuppies. And you quake in fear.

Because, as the European countries are finding out, eventually you run
out of other people's money. And that's the direction we're heading in
here. I'm not quaking in fear. But why go down that road when we know
what awaits us at the end of it?

Well, the tea partiers are saying that the elderly and the poor should
die rather than allow taxes to be spent helping them. Many of the tea
partiers are particularly offended that we sometimes help people who are
not of northern European heritage and few other tea partiers call them
out for their racism.
