    Still as socialist as ever.

    And you're forgetting the two other things I didn't mention; that of the rule of law, and respecting the minority and opposition. I am not in any way proposing a tyranny of the majority. In fact, I'm doing the opposite.

    And I was genuinely asking that last question, I really do not know the answer to that...
    There is no "government vs. the people". The government should be the people. That's what democracy means to me. And I want a democratic economy as well, I see no reason why the economy should be left as a dictatorship, ruled by those with money.
