Teabagging? I object to the misuse of my user name. For the record I have never been a member of the Teaparty... and to 'teabag' is not a verb!

BTW - What a flame war. Those on the extreme left and extreme right are often not willing to listen to anything that differs from their narrowly defined world view. 'I know what I like and I like what I know'.

I'm not stepping into this name-calling marathon - other than to say, that based on world history and societies that are successful, the answer lies in the middle - a mix of capitalism and socialism. Extremes on either side are either poverty stricken police states or basketcase nanny states.. and sometimes both!

Just be glad we live in a free society where differing opinions are tolerated..
