It's a topsy turvy world.

Are the other Bolsheviks jealous of your castle ?

I don't know any. Any of your fascist friends stop stomping on homosexuals and brown people?

Not really. Good education, good connections and she's smart. My father, now that guy had a great work ethic, as did my father in law. The kids, not so much. We're spoiled and lazy and extremely fortunate.

Edit:

And social security and medicare are STILL socialist programs.

See, there you go stereotyping. Obummer is a facist and he doesn't stomp on homosexuals and brown people! SHEESH!

I know right? How dare I? It was totally uncalled for and not in response to anything whatsoever.

You are defining Authoritarian Socialism which is one step away from Communism. What Social Security and Medicare fall under, and what this country should be moving toward, is Democratic Socialism like many countries in Europe with only our slant of course. Every country has their own particular needs.

Democratic socialism is easy to achieve plus we can balance the budget and pay down the national debt slowly. All we need to do is implement a 15% VAT tax on all consumption and raise all income tax brackets by 5% at the lower end and 15% at the upper end.

I would caution that you need to be careful what you wish for... Europe is a very different place than the USA.
