No, bravo's description is much more akin to what happened.
I enjoyed, however, your plug for "Let's model Socialist Canada".
I'm curious to know how business taxes are structured up there. Do you know?

Here's what focus groups had to say about multimillionaire Mittzie recently:
They gave him kudos for being a businessman, saying that would be a good attribute for a president in creating jobs, but they also underscored what they had heard in the ads that had been running in their hometowns.
They used phrases like "I heard that while he was the head of a company, many workers lost their jobs ..." "That scares me."
When asked to use one word or phrase to describe Romney, the words or phrases they used included "Don't know that much about him," "selfish, "businessman who is concerned with making himself some money," "concerned about the wealthy," "can't be trusted," "scares me," and "lackluster"...

It speaks of his core principles and says that the knobs do not work, in other words you can't draw a picture on that Etch-a-Sketch...

It would be if 119% of the screen were covered...
Otherwise the imagery seems to say that the voter was pissed because he couldn't write on the page of the candidate's core principles.

There are northern European countries which have government benefits just a prolific as Greece. The difference is corruption.
It's unfortunate those who use the words "Socialism", "Socialist", etc. do not understand what composes Socialism. It is far more than social policies.
I'm not conversant with business taxes.

Northern European countries collect considerably higher taxes from their citizens and prosper as a result.
Yet, miracle of miracles, these seven countries collect higher taxes as a share of GDP than does the U.S.
Total government revenues in the U.S. (adding federal, state, and local taxes) totaled 31.6 percent of GDP in 2010.
This compares with 56.5, 34.2, 39.5, 45.9, 52.7, 43.4, and 55.3 percent of GDP in Norway, Switzerland, Luxembourg, Netherlands, Sweden, Germany, and Denmark, respectively.
These much higher levels of taxation are raised through a combination of personal, corporate, payroll, and value-added taxes.
The Northern European countries earn their prosperity not through low taxation but through high taxation sufficient to pay for government.
In five of the seven countries, Denmark, Germany, Norway, Netherlands, and Sweden, government spending as a share of GDP is much higher than in the U.S.
These countries enjoy much better public services, better educational outcomes, more gainful employment, higher trade balances, lower poverty, and smaller budget deficits. High-quality government services reach all parts of the society.
The U.S., stuck with its politically induced "low-tax trap," ends up with crummy public services, poor educational outcomes, high and rising poverty, and a huge budget deficit to boot.

stopping corruption, especially in this country, is impossible until the people educate themselvse and wake up. something most establishment politicos do not want and will not tolerate.

How would you suggest we begin?

'we', as in 'me', don't need to begin since we are already there. The fault lies with the partisan hacks who claim to be 'aware' but still vote for the lesser of two evils.
