Jul 27 2011: I dont think the Rich and well educated are intersted in Socialism...the rich and well educated are in business and thrive on compitition. The politicians are leaning that way because they get money from donations and government. they dont thrive on the same competition the working class does. they see the benfits from Europe, and how it can work but they have know idea how to implement it.
