Hi to Hank and all; No ideal form of government exists anywhere.

Capitalism is not a political doctrine or a form of government to adopt; it is only and only a macro and micro economic doctrine.

We appreciate your concerns but I doubt you have studied Haiti yet. Most Haitians are unemployed and paid no income taxes, a few still pay property taxes; there exist few corporates in Haiti; if you mean the major businesses that have been around for decades or even a century, well they rarely pay their taxes so I do not see how you can eliminate what has not been paid for decades.

Marxism is not socialism; the USA, although not branded a socialist nation does have a huge socialist underpinning since the days of the Anti-trust laws of 1889 and foward.

FDR had to put in place a socialist safety net to assure the great depression does not repeat itself.

"Sell the nationalized industries"...you mean privatize government owned agencies.

I am all for privatization that is beneficial to my beloved Haiti but keep in mind that the Haitian government did not force-nationalized any businesses; the nationalization was embedded in the concession contracts that were signed by the capitalist investors decades ago.
I could go on several pages but I am stopping here...

GOOD LUCK HAITI, If you do not agree that a democratically elected government that is functioning in a dictatorial manner should be allowed to complete its term, you should then chase President Bush out of the White House. In many ways, since > >

Democracy must also be accompanied by free market capitalism. Free markets are necessary for true liberty. > >

A large percentage of Haitian's people stay uninformed; they have no clue about what's going on around them on every social level you can imagine. The elite just takes advantage of their stupidy. Imagine that more than 3/4 of the population are buyi > >

Democratic Socialism: A form of government where individual liberties are respected and the laws, decrees, and regulations facilitate a fair and an equitable distribution of the nation's wealth through private enterprises and public money transfers. > >

She is a federation off course. She is a democracy no brainer. She is a republic with an elected president. She is also a socialist nation for nearly a century; she wasn't always so. The laissez-faire capitalism reached its abyss in 1929. American S > >
