You said it; but only a very small percentage is printed. It's actually created out of thin air at interest from the Fed.

Wait, that sounds like our current system....Wasn't this a criticism of socialism?

Any country who's citizens pay tax could be considered socialist.

What socialism? In America or Venezuela? To outside observers, there is not a shred of evidence that America is in danger of becoming a socialist country. If anything, it's become less socialist since Obama was elected.

The healthcare bill? The largest increase in government size and spending ever?

How could anyone interpret the US as becoming less socialist???
