That would depend on many things, but in the correct situation, I suspect most people would.
 
The only "correct situation" I can think of would be a gun to my head and vice grips on my nether regions.

But yet you support Socialism of the worst kind. Corporate Socialism. Having our tax dollars prop up big business at the expense of the taxpayer and the workforce. All for some ridiculous notion that the wealthy aren't to be questioned no matter what.

Actually, that's generally called capitalist socialization.
 
There's a substantial difference between socialism and socialization.

Do tell...please though... just the basics, please...8-10 paragraph posts reciting the histrionics of such things are better left to a link or suggested reading than something I have to respond to....scrolling up and down a quoted post is frustrating..... gotta remember, I'm on a smartphone here.

I'll just limit it to definitions to make it easier.

Socialist socialization: A shift of power to the lower classes. Done through democratization.
Capitalist socialization: A shift of political power to the upper classes. Done by opening doors for money to influence public decisions - hegemony, or vetting, for instance.
Socialism: The democratization of the workplace.
 
I agree. There must be a cap on high salaries, but more importantly on bonuses and 'directors remuneration'. No one wants to stop them earning money and providing services and employment but once a man has a few million anything over and above is simply greed and is removing cash from the society on which they depend.
In America there are more than 100 people whose personal fortune is over 2.6 BILLION!!! That is taking the piss and any government that sits idly by and allows this much cash to be taken out of society and put into the bulging pockets of the few is working AGAINST the people who voted it in.

And yet China has 95; which is higher per population, then anywhere else in the world (1 per 0.9 million); except for India.
and
Honk Kong has 38, just by themselves.
 
So if Hitler was running against a very "conservative" socialist... you would sit it out?
Yes, I would sit it out. I don't want any part of a 124 year old dictator still in good enough shape to run for president. Sounds like a job for Captain America.
