Most of the time I have to put the IV in myself, those nurses like bed pan missed college when they were there. I guess they thought just attending classes was good enough.

The village idiot expels gas from his intelligence orifice ***!!!!!

According to his cult member heritage, they give the definition of economic freedom, so pay close attention to their propaganda lies.

What is economic freedom?
Economic freedom is the fundamental right of every human to control his or her own labor and property. In an economically free society, individuals are free to work, produce, consume, and invest in any way they please. In economically free societies, governments allow labor, capital and goods to move freely, and refrain from coercion or constraint of liberty beyond the extent necessary to protect and maintain liberty itself. http://www.heritage.org/index/about

Now lets look at reality, something assboy is unable to do on his drugs.

Fear of Authority
A survey by NUS in 2001 showed that 88% of the undergraduates had felt there were barriers that prevented them from entering politics, including the fear of authorities. One had remarked that ‘Politics in Singapore is a taboo topic’.
The government in Singapore has broad powers to limit citizens' rights and to inhibit political opposition. In 2014, Singapore was ranked 150th out of 175 nations by Reporters Without Borders in the Worldwide Press Freedom Index. Freedom in the World 2014 ranked Singapore 4 out of 7 for political freedom, and 4 out of 7 for civil liberties (where 1 is the most free), with an overall ranking of "partly free".

So much for assboy having and credibility along with the lying Heritage link!!!

Crushing business activity and making felons out of people doing business in what they think is a legal manner.

Further, Big Business uses its influence to crush competitors, to rig the game in its favor, to immunize itself against prosecution.

Was John Corzine ever indicted for illegally diverting 100's of millions of dollars of client funds into his private money losing schemes? No, of course not.

But anti-Obama Gibson Guitar was raided at gunpoint over a paperwork dispute and apparent legal business practice.

Wake the f*** up.

Laws are made after the fact, not before the fact, and they must cover every harm, hence so many regulations. It is what makes a socialist system superior to Capitalism.

Only in the sense of the means of production, resources and equipment that create wealth. dumb ****. Personal property like homes, cars, etc. belong to you, even more so than they do in America. You never own you home in America, you only rent it with taxes. Don't pay the rent (taxes) and your *** is out and a new renter moves in who will pay the taxes.

Yeah pig boy, A market economy based on supply and demand with no government control. A completely free market is an idealized form of a market economy where buyers and sellers are allowed to transact freely based on a mutual agreement on price without state intervention in the form of taxes, subsidies or regulation. America is NOT free market, you never seen a free market, so shut your **** face!!!!!!!!!

Socialism is a social and economic system characterised by social ownership of the means of production and co-operative management of the economy,[
1][
2] as well as a political theory and movement that aims at the establishment of such a system.[
3][
4] "Social ownership" may refer to cooperative enterprises, common ownership, state ownership, citizen ownership of equity, or any combination of these.[
5] There are many varieties of socialism and there is no single definition encapsulating all of them.[
6] They differ in the type of social ownership they advocate, the degree to which they rely on markets or planning, how management is to be organised within productive institutions, and the role of the state in constructing socialism.[
7]
A socialist economic system is based on the organisational precept of production for use, meaning the production of goods and services to directly satisfy economic demand and human needs where objects are valued based on their use-value or utility, as opposed to being structured upon the accumulation of capital and production for profit.[
8] In the traditional conception of a socialist economy, coordination, accounting and valuation would be performed in kind (using physical quantities), by a common physical magnitude, or by a direct measure of labour-time in place of financial calculation.[
9][
10] On distribution of output there have been two proposals, one which is based on the principle of to each according to his contribution and another on the principle of from each according to his ability, to each according to his need. The advisability, feasibility and exact methods of resource allocation and valuation are the subject of the socialist calculation debate.
The socialist political movement includes a diverse array of political philosophies. Core dichotomies within the socialist movement include the distinction between reformism and revolutionary socialism and between state socialism and libertarian socialism. State socialism calls for the nationalisation of the means of production as a strategy for implementing socialism, while libertarian socialists generally place their hopes in decentralized means of direct democracy such as libertarian municipalism, citizens' assemblies, trade unions, and workers' councils[
11] coming from a general anti-authoritarian stance.[
12][
13][
14][
15][
16][
17][
18] Democratic socialism highlights the central role of democratic processes and political systems and is usually contrasted with non-democratic political movements that advocate socialism.[
19] Some socialists have adopted the causes of other social movements, such as environmentalism, feminism and liberalism.[
20]
Modern socialism originated from an 18th-century intellectual and working class political movement that criticised the effects of industrialisation and private property on society. The revival of republicanism in the American Revolution of 1776 and the egalitarian values introduced by the French Revolution of 1789 gave rise to socialism as a distinct political movement. In the early 19th century, "socialism" referred to any concern for the social problems of capitalism irrespective of the solutions to those problems. However, by the late 19th century, "socialism" had come to signify opposition to capitalism and advocacy for an alternative post-capitalist system based on some form of social ownership.[
21] During this time, German philosopher Karl Marx and his collaborator Friedrich Engels published works criticizing the utopian aspects of contemporary socialist trends and applied a materialist understanding of socialism as a phase of development which will come about through social revolution instigated by escalating and conflicting class relationships within capitalism.[
22] Alongside this there appeared other tendencies such as anarchism, revolutionary syndicalism, social-democracy, Marxism–Leninism and democratic socialism as well as the confluence of socialism with anti-imperialist and anti-racist struggles around the world. The socialist movement came to be the most influential worldwide movement and political-economic worldview of the 20th century.[
23] Today, socialist parties and ideas remain a political force with varying degrees of power and influence in all continents leading national governments in many countries. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Socialism

But luckily for Carter, no one calls him the Worst President Ever anymore. Not since Obama.
