[QUOTE="FtcdatSAPoD, post: 61152497, member: 311828"] I always have two choices when I wake up at the start of my day. I can have coffee or I can read one of your responses. Either one will get my blood going.:wave: Of course there was socialism in France. There were government-run poorhouses and hospitals and orphanages. The church which represented a third of the government and received tax money ran schools and gave free education to the poor. The French Revolution was brought in to strengthen the role of government in people's lives and those revolutionaries such as Robespierre and Saint-Just felt very much that all children were the property of the state. The issues we talking about on this forum are the same ones they talked about. The leftists felt the government should do everything for them and the government did try after the French Revolution but it ran out of money. When the founding fathers of America talked about "life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness" they were talking about independence from the government, not dependence. As for my "radical" views, everyone I work with has the same views. Like I said, there are two worlds we can live in - that of the government or that of private enterprise. Socialism has been around in one form or another for hundreds of years. Read history. [/QUOTE]
