Demo-Rats

The Demo-Rats, over the decades, have wandered farther and farther from capitalism and individual independence.  They want all of us citizens to be subjects to government control. I find it appalling that so many citizens actually favor socialism.  Don't they know that it hampers the economy and basically enslaves people?  All one needs to do is look around the world today and back through history.  Socialism is an evil system. I don't see anything positive.
