Tez, I think I found it. The "it" being the post where you think I said Margaret Thatcher was a socialist...

Right, you do know that Maggie Thatcher was a Conservative? and she hasn't been around for a long time?
And over here, socialism is different from communism and the national socialism that was Hitler's pet project was actually fascism?​

This is the thing, I was quoting Thatcher's observation on socialism, and you didn't catch that. I was thanking Prime Minister Thatcher for the quote, not accusing her of being a socialist. Finally, I think I found why you incorrectly accuse me of thinking Thatcher was a socialist. It wasn't quoted properly, I wasn't familiar with how to work the quotes back then.

This is from wikipedia on Margaret thatcher's quote:

The problem with socialismA quote attributed to Margaret Thatcher goes along the lines of
"The problem with socialism is that eventually you run out of other people's money [to spend]."or
"Eventually, Socialists run out of other peoples' money [to spend]."There are a number of similar almost-quotes to be found on the Web, but I haven't found any authoritative sources. She may, in fact, have made the statement in various forms at different times. Quicksilver[SUP]T @[/SUP] 15:44, 9 December 2008 (UTC)
Update: Margaret Thatcher, in a TV interview for Thames TV This Week [[1]]on Feb. 5, 1976, Prime Minister Thatcher said, "...and Socialist governments traditionally do make a financial mess. They [socialists] always run out of other people's money. It's quite a characteristic of them."
The popular version seems to be a reasonable contraction

I even used the "quote" button this time...

Honey, I am no expert, but you need a life.
I know for a fact that people who hang on the computer on a Friday night have none.....

(and while you used the quote button, you screwed it up)
