Well I certainly got a wakeup call since I married Irina in Moscow in 1987, prior to the collapse of the Soviet Union. She is very emphatic about distinguishing between Russia and the USSR, which are not interchangeable terms despite what most Americans think. The majority of American agree with you that the U.S. is on the wrong track.
Robin Hood is not a pure analogy of the economic theory of socialism but it works for many. The US was never in a feudalist economic system. Russia went from feudalism to communism blaming capitalism. I guess this is where the Robin Hood lore has it's attraction to Russians.
The US went from a free-market economic system to capitalism with anti-trust laws. Ever since then, free-market proponents criticize the US system as socialism. Socialism has private ownership prohibited. Money can only be used for consumption and not for investment or property like in a capitalist system.
Some republicans still believe the free-market economic system is better than capitalism due to government regulations slowing economic growth.

So you talked to God! Wow! He hates republicans! Wow! Is that all republicans or just the ones that don't go to church and worship him? How about just the straight ones? Does he just love the straight republicans and not the gay republicans? Or maybe he just loves the gay republicans and not the straight! Does he just love the rinos and not the tea party or is it the other way around? Does he only love the rich ones and not the poor ones or is it too the other way around? Does God only love the faithful ones and not the wicked ones? How about someone that is a conservative but doesn't identify with the republicans? Do they get a break? If you truly talk with God then please ask him which ones he hates, also what are the lottery numbers for the next drawing?

Democrats believe in God same as you. Sucking you Know what is a strong statement meant to cause anger. Angry exchanges turn into meaningless name calling matches no one gains from. I am guilty but I am trying very hard.
