Get me some properly programmed Chula nanobots for either situation.

Yes please do static compiles! I have a few old Linux games from Loki that won't work on anything higher than Linux kernel 2.2. With my XP box, I stick in even an old game and 99% of the time it'll work. I've only had problems with one game so far, and it was able to have a third party patch to get it to work.

You can expect your taxes to be higher... if you make more than $200k as an individual, or more than $250k as a couple or business. This lowers taxes on the vast majority of Americans that buy from the various companies in the country. Giving tax breaks to corporations goes to the CEOs and shareholders. Very rarely do rarely do corporations employ more people as a result of having more money. They're in the business of making money, not employing people.

And just like capitalism is great, in theory. In practice you get cutthroat business practices, only looking out for short term self interest, competition crushing monopolies were owning everything isn't enough, consolidation of power into the hands of a very tiny minority, and an almost complete disregard for the general public.

The USA was founded in large part to control corporate interests, and to go against companies like the monopolistic East India Company. In the early days of the US, they strictly controlled or ended any corporation that didn't act in the interest of the general public.

Now we buy the falsehood that what's good for a corporation is good for the US. Even if it includes firing US workers, doing away with pensions, leaving people uninsured or underinsured, manipulating markets so that it takes more and more money to get buy, while the people at top make more and more profit.

People are greedy and inherently flawed, yes. Capitalism is like releasing a bunch of hungry tigers into a room together and telling them to play nice. Unless you keep all the tigers on a very short leash, you end up with a mess.

Obama's not a socialist at all. Check out http://latimesblogs.latimes.com/washington/2008/11/campaign-2008-h.html

As a libertarian socialist (as opposed to an authoritarian socialist), I would be happy if Obama was a socialist. He's not. He's slightly right of center and slightly more authoritarian than libertarian.
