    The cream rises to the top, but it always seems unpalatable in this nation. Still the people get what they deserve. If they don't want to demand a change in the way their representatives are elected and don't want to require the accountability of elected and unelected officials, then they…

    They are not socialist as they do not involve state ownership of enterprises nor centralized planning of the economy.
