   No that's communism.  I am currently living in a socialist country   
   called Australia and I have never had a higher standard of living.  I   
   actually have more rights here than at home except the current right   
   wing government is trying to disarm union members and the great gun   
   grab is on...  but the great rush to Bunnings and Home Depot is also   
   on to buy plastic tubing with sealed screw top ends is also on.  :-)
