Yeah, those poor cats and dogs, went from pets to a delicious meal, thanks to socialism. Yikes! Colleges of today are brainwashing the children of today and have for many years, no longer a place for higher education, but more like "re-education camps".

No is is not. Im asking how ANYONE could possibly want this country to turn socialist when you look at what socialism has done to people.

And they are in the minority, just as some want to turn this Nation into a thiocracy, and others would love it if we became a Dictatorship with the Trump's as the rulers. None are going to happen.

It's still an egg, that does not mean I want to eat it. I don't want Marxism, socialism, and communism, either.

I guess you like our capitalist system that keeps the top ten percent, the top ten percent. The average american has about the same odds of winning the lottery as making it into the top ten percent.

Funny how so many folks support a system where one in ten thousand really make it.

Tell us what it has done since we've never had socialism in america? We have drips and drabs which help everyone like roads. If you're going to use countries to prove how horrible socialism is, start with the nordic countries.

They have your "drips and drabs" of socialism. They are NOT a full socialist country.

These days there seems to be far too many people in this country that want to turn the US socialist. Have they read ANY history of countries that were socialist. Are the schools and colleges teaching anything about the failure of socialism.

Do these would be socialist know that in the last century huge government socialist killed approx 100,000,000 people? Have they been taught how in about 30 years Venezuela that turned socialist went from the 4th largest economy in the world to abject poverty? Knowing these facts why would anyone want to turn the US into a socialist country?


BTW cats and dogs in Venezuela have voted 100% AGAINST socialism!!!!!!

Some on the left understand that Government is Socialism. And, I read a book that demonstrated that "capitalism died in 1929" and that socialism has been bailing out capitalism ever since. And, that FDR's brand of socialism turned our relatively third world economy into the first world economy we have now.

Sanctions and trade wars are socialism not the Commerce of Capitalism. Only the right wing doesn't understand the difference. And, dear right wingers, the more Capital government of South Africa fell after only a few years of sanctions. Cuba and Venezuela are still functioning.

I am not in the top 10 percent. And that is not a problem for me.

Yet after WORKING for 47 years I am living the American dream. My wife and I own our home and everything in it and a fairly new car. We have some money in the bank.

Notice that word WORKING!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
