George Will Acknowledges US Is Actually Sort of Socialist Already

[Brassmask]

I don't know if anybody saw it or not but I was watching ABC on Sunday, This Week With Geo Stephonopolous and in the round table segment, there was a short discussion of "socialism" and, of all people, GEORGE WILL explained socialism in America in the exact same way that I have described it here in this forum.

I will continue to look for the transcript but he used the example of sugar subsidies and how though they are very low, we do support the sugar industry socially.

Also, he flat out stated the the US government has socialism for corporations.

I wish I could find the exact phrasing he used but I was totally taken aback.

And most of them concurred that what we've always acknowledged as "capitalism" in America is gone forever.

It's been gone for a really, really long time. The cane sugar industry and the corn ethanol industry would likely not exist at all without serious subsidies.
