[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous] But... basic forms of socialism are a good thing. It brought you Medicaid and Medicare and unemployment benefits and some semblance of parental leave and sick leave. it brought you workers' rights, fair wages, paid days off, weekends. Does this just boil down to lack of historical knowledge, and no appreciation of how far we've come from 19th century working conditions? The USA is the worst wealthy country in the world when it comes to social safety nets. Social safety nets bring up everyone's standards of living, not just the poor's standards of living. Please don't keep us at the bottom. [/quote] "Social safety nets bring up everyone's standards of living, not just the poor's" I don't understand this. Can you explain it?[/quote]
