What is Definition of Socialism?

We can at this time be called a socialistic nation. Healthcare Reform will take up 18-20% of the Federal government. That doesn't count the government take over of banks and car companies through TARP. What is definition of socialism-a simple definition is the government take over of business. We have handed it to Obama on a platter. The healthcare bill is a bad bill. Only about 200 pages of the bill are actually good pages we can use. Why has this happened? We have been conditioned to receive it. Many people feel this is ripe, like a piece of fruit, and it's time has come. Like we are out of touch with the rest of the world. I have come to realize people will have to see this for themselves. To see how serious a situation this is, government takeover of our lives. The President and his wife would like to tells us what kind of cars to buy, how to heat our homes, and what to feed our children. This is elitism as I have come to understand the term. We don't know how to live our lives so they must tell us. We are not even able to understand the term reconcilliation. Stating clearly the President said people don't really care how a bill is processed as long as it passes. We aren't really smart enough to understand the process. They look down on us in a condescending manner as he addressed Sen John McCain at the so called Health Care Summit if that is what you could call it. Trying to get our controll back will take a lot of time and a lot of work. We are now in a battle to regain America. Hopefully it will be done in a right and civil way. God Bless our America.
