I do write a lot of bleeding heart messages with no solutions. It isn't my place to offer solutions on a board. But as a reasonable person it is possible. Which is why Norway has always been mentioned. Not one thing wrong with that country, they are soooo socialist but soooo much better off than us. So yes, I'm a socialist to you and your terms, but I'm really just another person that can't understand how some of these things are in the world, especially considering we are ("the richest country") in the world.

We take everything else from everyone else, why not take a working business model from another country who's society is living better than us? Norway, everyone's gettin money, everyone has healthcare, nearly ALL have homes that are owned. Oh and the country is still well in the black. I've said the samethings before like 2yrs ago. You can tell how well a country is by how it takes care of it's poor. My heart will continue to bleed, because that could of been me; the one homeless or jobless or in need of care because the country I was born in can't help me with anything but debt.
