Vertical class movement has never been accomplished by such socialist government intervention and redistribution of weath. The laissez-faire regime, which you seem to be at odds with, is what destroys these social barriers and rewards people for their hard work, innovation and ideas, not the color of their skin, their sociological and religious beliefs, or the size of their bank account.

Ridiculous post.
Why would a government, liberal or not want to create a class dependant on state handouts.
A laissez faire regime doesnt actually help the poor in society whatsoever. It never has and never will. With lack of restrictions on buisness the larger companies would create monopolies reducing competition reducing competion and driving up prices.
Whats more without employment law safeguarding the rights of the workers the large comperations would be free to abuse the working class therefore ubjecting them to low wages and bad conditions.
Laissez faire economics has ben a disaster whenever it has been tried, trust me I have a degree in History. It has pretty much ruined the U.S economy olnce more under Bush.
The fact im seeing Obama being called a communist on the news at the moment shows how far gone the American public is. Posts like yours are so far away from reality its scary.
How normal people vote and actively support something that is so far from their own interests. The U.K isnt that much better but I dread the day we turn into mindless zombies like a good proportian of Americans.
