President Borack Obama has a heart of gold in my opinion wanting to help so many of us that need the help yet are others paying the price? Our country as we see it today has its fundamental principles based on Capitalism with a thread of socialism finding its way in.
The economic practice "Capitalism" was derived from a word called "mercantilism" originated in Rome, the Middle East, and early middle ages. Mercantilism simply means a distribution of goods in order to realize a profit. Goods are moved from one site as a dollar amount and then moved to another to sell at a higher price. As time went on in Europe the name "Capitalism" replaced "mercantilism".
The capitalistic nature is simply having productive labor necessary to produce and distribute the goods for a wage. What is nice about this structure is that we have the economic freedom to decide where we will work and what we will do. This gives individuals the right to earn lots of money if they choose and dream and own whatever they can imagine.
Socialism is a system that advocates the vesting of the ownership and control of the means of production and distribution of capital, land, etc. in the community as a whole. So instead of the individual having their rights of complete ownership of businesses and properties the government and state have their hand in it. This means that they will distribute evenly within a society rather than the ones that work the hardest for the capital.
In 1949 Albert Einstein penciled the need for socialist economy to eliminate the evils of unemployment, competitive economy, and the educational system. New Harmony was a community that helped with free libraries and public schools. There are some very positive sides to a socialistic approach to help others who need help.
President Obama has great ideas for healthcare across the board and helping the average business person get started. While the taxes are still in line with Social Security, Medicare, and state programs we continue to keep plugging away. I believe giving a piece of the pie is better than having it all because we never know in life whether our life could take a turn and we may need government help.
In conclusion, Sweden may have something on us as they do have a blend of both Capitalism and Socialism and their country works, not perfectly but it works. Although we need to keep our American rights as citizens and not let this socialistic mind set prevent ourselves from working hard and fulfilling our dreams. We are in such a good Country and have a lot to be grateful for with our "free enterprise" and ability to create and design businesses of our choice. We have so much here and many resources and sometimes it just takes some time! When I am rich and if my taxes help another that is fine. We just need to balance out and be aware of what is going on here. In my opinion we have the best president yet and I look forward to his changes that incorporate the threads of mild socialism to get this economy moving again.

More political articles: - The Fall Of Madero (Robert Nickel)
In November 1911, after working to incite the Mexican Revolution and oust the corrupt president Porfirio Diaz, the leader of the revolt, Francisco Madero, was made President of Mexico. Unfortunately, despite having done so much to create sudden change, the man was, at heart, a moderate. Thrust into a role that required much more political expertise than he had, he was doomed to fail. - Francisco Madero's Path to Revolution (Robert Nickel)
In 1911, after thirty-five years of dictatorial rule by president Porfirio Diaz, the Mexican people had had enough. Angry, fed up and bitter at the administration's corruption, they were incited to rise up and revolt after that year's election, when popular newcomer Francisco Madero "lost" the presidential race in a stunningly obvious case of electoral fraud. This was the beginning of the Mexican Revolution... - Gift Giving: The Pet Lover (Claire Dimmit)
If you are being frustrated by trying to find the perfect gift for the animal lover in your life, you should not give up. Here are a few ideas that can spur your imagination enabling you to find the perfect gift. - The Battle Of Puebla And Cinco De Mayo (Robert Nickel)
Why does the United States celebrate every May 5, or Cinco de Mayo? It's only a regional holiday in Mexico, and is often mistaken to be the commemoration of their Independence Day (which is actually in September). The roots of these festivities go back to the French invasion in 1862, and a decisive initial victory against Napoleon III's forces. - Agustin I: The First Mexican Emperor (Robert Nickel)
The First Emperor of Mexico's regime was the first attempt at a Spain-free governing structure, and it failed fairly quickly. His reign had lasted roughly ten months before collapsing, and while it didn't accomplish a great deal in terms of infrastructure, it marked the true start of the divide between the centrist conservative and the democratic liberal political parties. - The Incredible Work of Benito Juarez (Robert Nickel)
A great deal of Mexico's liberal reforms in the 19th century - the separation of church and state, the proclamation of all citizens as equal in the eyes of the law and the establishment of a market-driven social system, among other things, would not have been possible without the leadership of Benito Juarez. Once an illiterate shepherd, this Zapotec native rose to become a lawyer and eventually ended up involved in some of the most important...
