RE: Taking back control? From what or who exactly?
I think it was Milton Friedman who said "If communists/socialists really understood economics, they would not be communists/socialists".

Indeed, it would be nice if things could be fair and equal for everyone but I think it was Churchill that described socialism/communism as something aka to the equal sharing of misery. Although the UK is still a capitalist western country, I feel that some parts of the north especially have long had a ridiculously socialist mindset where they seem to just love to blame wealthier people down south for all their problems. Then again, some of those wealthier people down south also demand socialism whilst not understanding what such a mindset can do to the communities that I have just mentioned.
my people - the indigenous of pacific northwest (Native Indians) have been getting socialism/communism for 150 years from the Canadian State and it's created an economic wasteland and destroyed any prosperity or incentives. It's awful.. just plain awful.
May I ask, was this done possibly with the honourable intention of helping out those that they feel are disadvantaged, yet only serving to hold them back?
