2. That's an impossible question. |

There is a political spectrum that runs from capitalism to socialism. Pure socialism is state ownership of the means of production. Pure capitalism is unbridled, laissez faire capitalism.
99.9% of the world is somewhere in between. Most of us a bunched right in the middle. People might call me a socialist because I believe that monopolies should be either regulated or broken up. IMO, I'm not a socialist.
I believe in free enterprise as a rule, but I also realize that greed isn't always good, and that sometimes govt has to step in for the good of society.

5. I'll tell you. I Iong for the days when public utilities were monopolies |
|
and they were heavily regulated. Even better yet, would be for those same utilities to be operated as a branch of government.
