America is the greatest country on the planet and they did not get there by embracing socialism. They got there by embracing capitalism and that eats at the left. Capitalist are evil money grubbers. I agree there are some but not all, and those good ones are the reason America is as great as it is.

It's more accurate to say it got there by "embracing" slave and cheap immigrant labor. The South provided most of the fuel that ran America's engine for a good long while...and then we had the Irish, Italian, and Eastern European immigrants later on. Don't forget who built the railroads, either. Something tells me it would have been quite a bit harder to rise to greatest-country-on-Earth status were it not for these developments. Profits are always higher when you don't have to pay the help.

Kind of ironic that the same people who help make it possible for you to eat a .49 ear of corn are the same ones you're begrudging driver's licenses. Spend a day picking vegetables along I-5 and let me know if your position has changed at all...
