By 1940, you're referring to the new deal and the development of social security?
Okay, I'll agree with that, that they were proposed from a liberal platform.

You mean the same way "conservatives" co-opted that word to hide their totalitarian/fascist leanings, and their desire to "conserve" those facets of society?

It's adorable when people try to compare liberalism and socialism in that way. If there is a quicker way to find out that someone has no knowledge of political philosophy, I haven't heard it!

So, under socialism will everyone get a pony? Cause that would be cool. Either that, or a mini-bike. You should have your choice, a pony or a mini-bike.

Under capitalism, one person in North America gets both while a starving child in a Third World country who built the mini-bike gets nothing and no choice!

Exactly. It's time for a change.

You'd have to feed a pony. But the mini-bike would require gasoline. I'm leaning toward a pony.

Ponies require a stable, cleaning, food, etc.
the upkeep costs are surprisingly high

Ok, we'd have to make sure everyone got food and stuff for their ponies. And gas for their mini-bikes. And parts and stuff if it breaks down.
