Short Quiz: COMMUNISM IS CREEPING IN ONE STEP AT A TIME, EXACTLY AS PLANNED. I don't know about communism but socialism sure is. here are a few highlights from the socialists' platform from 100 years ago... ___________________ Socialists in 1912 had a strong platform upon which to base a campaign. Here are some of the highlights from the Socialist Party Convention that took place in Indianapolis- Tax Reform-The adoption of a graduated income tax, the increase of the rates of the present corporation tax and the extension of inheritance taxes.. (Of course, an income tax won't affect YOU, just a few of the rich) Minimum Wage-By establishing minimum wage scales. (That did a lot of good, didn't it? An end to poverty...) Direct Election of President-The Election of the President and Vice-President by direct vote of the people. Social Insurance- ..a general system of insurance by the State of all its members against unemployment and invalidism and a system of compulsory insurance of their workers, without cost to the latter, against industrial diseases, accidents and death. (Hell, why limit it to "industrial"?) Also in the platform was woman's suffrage, public ownership of utilities and a shortened work day. Much of this came to pass. Other aspects of this platform may still someday be enacted.* ________________ * probably and unfortunately -- dadiOH ____________________________ Winters getting colder? Tired of the rat race?
