That economic aberration that allows private businesses, usually big corporations, to reap the profits of their financial successes while ensuring that the losses of their failures will be born by The People in the form of taxpayer-funded handouts.
Usually considered as an outgrowth of “Reaganomics,” Republican Socialism came into its own during the economic crisis of 2008-09, which was spawned by the anti-regulatory fervor of the George W. Bush administration.

Get the Republican Socialism mug.Criollo Mexican kids who come from priviledged economic backgrounds (rich & upper-middle class). Because of their parents money, they think they are better than everyone else. They tend to dress in metrosexual fashions, wearing such clothing brands as Abercrombie, Hollister, American Eagle, Calvin Klein, Nautica, Ralph Lauren, Roxy, Express, Aeropostale, Gap, Banana Republic, etc. They love to drive around in German cars, preferabily Volkswagen Golf's or Jetta's. The make every effort to look down upon other Mexicans as ignorant peasants who lack any education whatsoever. Ironically, they hate to study and work hard, so mommy & daddy buy them their grades while they party & fuck around. They make fun of Americans, yet they pretend to be edgy punk rock skaters or valley girls. These pricks will begin enjoying the discotheque lifestyles at 13 years of age because their parents get them fake IDs and enjoy going to such places like Tangaloo or Monte Picacho. These creatures tend to reside in such geographical regions such as the Eastside of Chula Vista (Bonita, Eastlake, Otay Ranch), maybe La Jolla, and any other place you would find snobbish Mexican brats who look down at you like you are scum.

Get the Democratic Socialism mug.A very centric form of government and economics run on K.S.Lukas’s “On the Theory of Equalist Idealism”. It outlaws inheritance and practically almost eradicated welfare, instead creating a government work program for all homeless of jobless individuals. This work program would see that their laborers are put into housing and farming industries in order to provide better infrastructure and to lower the cost of living. It is a combination of extreme capitalistic beliefs mixed with social healthcare benefits. Universal healthcare is provided, in order to have younger workers take over for the older individuals, who seek only to work in order to preserve their health. Equalist Socialism uses the main principals of Equalist Idealism to enforce that all monetary and property assets of an individual are requisitioned by the government in exchange for little to no taxes.
What is Equalist Socialism?
It is a government ideological-economical form of reshaping society in which many key aspects of the conflicting socialist and capitalist ideals meet in the “middle ground”

Get the Equalist Socialism mug.A very tight group of people who do everything in High School as a large group. Most of them have stayed together since Middle School, so any outsiders are not welcome.
While this group focuses a lot on the art of meaningless conversation, most of their social lives and daily planning revolves around Facebook or Myspace. That is where their stupid little fads or inside jokes start, and where they eventually are laid down to rest a week later, only to be revived by some dumbass during a lunch period 4 months later.
Also, over 2/3 of the group are usually girls, and will often back out of normal conversations with guys to have side conversations with their "girl friends". Don't worry if you observe this behavior, it is perfectly normal". They also claim to hate dating and boys, but they facebook fish on their statuses about a mysterious infatuation.
Despite all of this, not all of them are pompous assholes, and are more sociable and talkative as individuals rather than a large group. If you are lucky, they will accept you for who you are. But if you don't fit into their cookie cutter, they will cast you out, and you will join the rest of the kids who dislike them.
It's one of the most irritating High School groups, but it keeps the other annoying groups in check.
