"For example, imagine if John Kerry started campaigning that he will change our system completely to a socialist system, what would happen to his numbers? Probably go way down. Why? Because most Americans want/appreciate the system we have in place."
It would be more accurate, in my opinion, to say that most Americans are afraid of sweeping change.
"Anyway, utopian dreams aside, there will always be poor, there will always be the "lower class". Some things are just inherent to human beings. Is it good? No. Will it ever change? No."
While I am a pessimist as well, I believe that thinking such as this is what keeps us from eliminating poverty, hunger, inequity, hatred and pain.
