Which two forms of government are we talking about? I'm assuming you're talking about the Republican/Democrat two party system.

I'm not a learned scholar on the subject, so bear with me on this. Take a country where the national government redistributes wealth for "social justice"? That same country's government administers it's citizens' health care and forces them to buy into the system whether they want to or not? 50% of that country's people depend on the government for some form of basic need? Does the Democrat party in it's current form not openly advocate all these?

Semantics can in fact be an ugly thing, but that last paragraph sounds a lot like like socialism to me. What would you call it?

I believe step one to getting out of this mess is taking the reigns of power away from tax and spend politicians. Barack Obama is the biggest spender in history. Simple, America desperately needs him gone. We need that lying fool, Harry Reid gone just as badly.
