Re: Yay opression!
The US is not moving closer to Socialism, we are moving closer and closer to a dictatorship of the Corporations. The poor are getting poorer and the rich richer, and the middle class is vanishing. It's not so much a world of countries with democratic forms of government, and counties with totalitarian forms of government, but rather large bands of corporations making the call. Walmart is dead set against their workers joining a union in the US, but surprise surprise supports it in China where the Union is an offshoot of the Communist government.
If you are one of the rich, lucky you. If you are middle class are lower, look forward to a "retirement" of eating dog food and working greeting visitors at your local "Megalamart"... |

...and I remember when people were saying that General Motors, Ford, and Chrysler were running the company. Now one of them has been sold to the Germans and the other two are rated as "junk" investments.
While it may seem fun to dump on large corporations, they aren't nearly as omnipotent as you seem to think.
