Second-I do not have a deep seeded hatred for capitalism. I have a deep seeded hatred for conservatives who take away any means of help for the poor and tell them to "get a job." Sometimes that's just not possible. Have you ever had to stand in an unemployment line? It's not a party down there. Those people aren't happy to be sucking off of the government's tit. They've been forced to, because there's no other way. You conservatives make it sound like everyone on unemployment and disability are cheating this "socialist" system. Need I remind you of the capitalists at Enron and Worldcom that destroyed more lives than al-Quaeda, all in the name of capitalism?

Third-Jesus was a socialist. How does that float your boat?

Fourth-Who cares what Allende was? His government was working, and his countrymen loved him. The fear of the "Communist Threat" destroyed what WAS a working socialist system.

Fifth- I, in no way, have a deep seated hatred for America. But I DO sense that you have a deep seated hatred for anyone that does not agree with you. That is sad to me, because you obviously are an intelligent person. You are just misguided, and put your fingers in your ears so you can't hear an intelligent counter-argument. Your last desperate act when you're losing an argument is to call someone un-American. What a typical conservative tactic.
People who collect unemployment get it because it is their right. Their employers paid the state a percentage of their salaries for that insurance. But it doesn't last forever and it shouldn't.

You failed to mention welfare recipients. Most are deatbeats who never look for a job. Taxpayers pay the cost of housing and healthcare for them. The taxpayers today are even paying the healthcare costs for illegals and such. All this is wrong and should never happen. You are a communist/socialist and believe in redistribution of wealth through confiscatory taxation. That is wrong. That is not what America is all about and certainly is not how we became the world's financial leader. Everyone should stand on their own feet. In America that is more than possible if you are not lazy. Any type of government assistance should only be a short term temporary measure. Not the family business like it is all over America's inner cities. Illegal immigrants shouldn't even be here so they should get nothing from the taxpayers. Maybe we might have more money for the deserving Americans on disability.

Enron and Worldcom never killed anyone or strapped bomb belts to their waists. Comparing them to terrorists is pure leftist idiocy and bullshit. These companies are a poor example of capitalism. They are examples of corrupt individuals. There are tens of thousands of businesses and thousands of public corporations in America that are honest and run by honest people. Their are corrupt individuals in all types of economic and political systems. A corrupt capitalist make take your money. Corrupt socialists and communists take your life. Over 100 million died at the hands of communism and socialism in the 20th century alone. That is the system you love.

Jesus was a socialist? How do you know? Did you ask him? Somehow I am willing to bet you don't even believe in Jesus.. but I'm sure you have no problem exploiting him for the sake of your spin.

You commies love that dirtbag Allende. How many more lies will you tell about him? Allende was elected president with 36.2 percent of the vote. He was not that popular. His military especially hated him. He was in power about 3 years. The last two years was a total disaster. He nationalized the mines and a lot of factories. Foriegn investment dropped to almost nothing. The currency was nearly worthless. Inflation was out of control. The mines he nationalized became almost worthless and the factories he handed over to the workers were a total disaster. So much for your socialist/communist workers state run paradise.

I stand by my assertion that you hate this country.... at least in it's present form. All you communists do.
