Please help me to understand here:
I have been reading some pretty .....interesting things about Obama. That he's trying to socialize America. While I admit I had a good laugh reading all these websites and blogs, etc. I wonder: Is he really trying to socialize America? And if so, is his goal temporary socialization to jump start the nation again?
I have a friend who's always complaining about her situation. She can't pay her rent. She can't afford it. Her job pays her too little. She has mounting bills. She's unhappy, etc, etc, etc etc. I used to feel bad hearing her constantly. Then I began avoiding her phone calls. But I do wonder, why doesn't she join one of the many kibbutz in Israel.
There are these places called kibbutz in which everyone lives almost as if in a communist country. Everyone gets same pay. Everyone is assigned a house depending on the size of the family. Everyone has some work to do. The kibbutz usually has a product that its known for. For example there is one kibbutz that produces baby wipes. That kibbutz is very beautiful with winding paths, a hotel, and a water park that attracts people from afar. Everyone can either eat in their homes or come to the common cafeteria -where the hotelers go as well- and eat there.
I think such a place would ease the burden of my friend. Then when she thinks she can tackle the world again, perhaps in the comfort of this kibbutz, she can learn a skill or work outside of the kibbutz to make extra money and then emerge again anew to make her own capital.
Is that what Obama is attempting with nationalized healthcare, buying all the big businesses, etc? Is that so bad, especially for a country that is already in financial trouble?
