Finally it's over! And grats to Obama and all the Americans, you're going in the right direction here.
Also did Mass really decriminalize mj?
Wow... You really do not know what you're talking about. It's nearly impossible to turn a huge country like America into a socialistic state like DDR or The Sovjetunion these days. I would say it IS impossible. The difference between a red and a blue partie these days are small. Really small. So when you say that he is a socialist it doesn't really say that much.. Just that he is more of a humanist then you seems to be.
I live in Sweden and we have the highest taxes IN THE WHOLE WORLD (and we don't even hav a socialistic partie "in charge" anymore) and I guarantee you that we have it for a reason and that it's worth it. I mean we have free health care, free school all the way, even college (though we don't really call it that) and we are one of the richest countries in the world. Yes it sucks that i have to pay 30 percent of my salary in taxes, but in the end it's worth it. And because of our taxes and what it gives us we are problaby more free then the majority of the americans are. Yes, there is problably more rich people in the US, but there is problably A LOT more poor people too. The welfare here in Sweden is one of the highest in the world and would have to say that have to do with the taxes. And in my opinion that is a word that America should focus on, welfare.
"there is a reason the US is succseful and why we are the leaders of the world....capitalism." Seriously? America is the leaders in the world in what exactly? Yes you are the leaders in many things, but not by yourself and certainly not because of capitalism. Capitilism exist and every well developed country, and will not stop to exist when Obama is president. You really think that America will turn into a modern form of DDR? The country is to big, and the world is depending on you way to much for that to happend, which also leads me in to why America truly are, as you said, the leaders of the world (still not knowing in which department though). It's because you have the biggest country in the world, which means that you have access to almost everything and it also means that you have a lot more money then say, Denmark. That is why problaby 75% percent of the not-american inventions, and other things that can be consider as something "leading", is presented to american investors or buyers and in the end is seen as a american invention. I don't mean it as a bad thing, it is truly necessary, but to say that America is leading because of capitilism is incorrect, stupid and ignorant.
Sorry if the english isn't always as understandable or correct as I want it to be, but if you have read this far i guess you know why.
