text: My friend and business man, Joseph, has his facts correct. However, he assumes that the "conservatives" will acknowledge that most of the examples of "socialsim" in the USA are really needed. Except for those public works that benefit big business, including the big pot called the Pentagon, the true conservatives could care less about and would abolish public parks, prisons and, NPR and PBS, the CDC, USDA, FEMA, public transit and even street lights? They do not believe in sharing expenses and even less in sharing benefits.
