[quote user="henry6"][quote user="Bucyrus"]   I don't see socialism and capitalism working together as you hope for.  How can they work together?  They are in direct opposition, and mutually exclusive.  How can both sides in a tug-of-war work together?   [/quote] Only have time to comment on this at the moment.  Aren't most European countries a mix of capitalism and socialism unde the banner of democracy?  We are but just not to the extent that they are.  Yet.  I believe, for instance, that universal health care should not be made available because the so called lowley poor can't afford it but because big business needs a healthy, non distracted work force for consistancy and quality.  If that's socialism, than so be it![/quote]Well that would be socialism, but there is a way to fix healthcare without socializing it.  The problem is that it is not in the interest of the insurance industry, the medical industry, or the government to go down the proper road to fix healthcare.  So it will either remain overpriced under the current system or we will socialize it and it will need to be rationed because it will be in short supply.  I am surprised at the reason you give for wanting socialized healthcare.  Yes many countries, including this one, are governed by a mix of socialism and capitalism.  My point is that the two philosophies, although they can coexist, compete with each other rather than working together.
