[QUOTE="chaz345, post: 41581741, member: 134045"] The fact that cases of elected officials sacrificing their political future to do what's right or necessary are very few and far between. Any significant move in a more socialist direction is a significant move away from the principles and ideals of the founders. The founders, as evidenced by their own words in the founding documents and their private writings were primarily about individual rights and freedom and about having government be as small and weak as possible and still fill it's necessary functions. Nothing about a more socialist system , as applied to the real world, fit's that ideal. In theory socialism fits that ideal very well, but in reality it ends up with a government that has an ever increasing influence and control over the citizens and a growing limitation of personal freedoms. I absolutely do not buy the idea that the reason that this is so is because it has never been done the right way. It's been done too many times in to many varied circumstances with the same results to say that. [/QUOTE]
