North Carolina is having this debate – we should be too!

Gee, the Chinese Communist Military runs all kinds of "capitalistic ventures’ as well.  Only point to be made, in that political system, the Government SHOULD own everything, run everything, and profit from anything.  In a democratic system, in which we are always saying that government should be limited, is running a "for profit" enterprise really …
