RE: FDR and the New Deal: Saving Capitalism from Itself

Socialism has just become a scare word. The rich already get it and no one sees anything wrong with that (As MLK once said: In America, it's "socialism for the rich and rugged free enterprise capitalism for the poor"), nor does the working class see much wrong with it when it comes in the form of social security or medicare/medicade. Nor even do people see much wrong with socialized medicine when you phrase the questions in a way that avoids labeling it as socialism. It is only when it becomes a talking point set to the tune of "owning the libs", then everyone who follows that team comes out against it.
