How much Socialism should be given to Florida?

[BULLDOG]

if you want me to speak on government policy please be specific with current or suggested legislation,,

my views vary from case to case,,

The choice is yours. You often speak about socialism. What specific socialist government program do you consider when you say you oppose socialism?

 

[BULLDOG]

do you have this same opinion on poor people that collect more than they put into the system and the rich pay the majority of the tax bill??

And what opinion would that be? I never proffered an opinion on Florida's budget funding. I only pointed out the facts. It is an interesting question though. Is it OK for Florida to regularly depend on the federal government to pay their bills, but not for poor people to do so?

That link says nothing about Florida’ intake of federal funds compared to the taxes Floridians pay to the federal government.

Can’t even say “nice try.”

Socialism is often depicted as evil and is claimed to harm its recipients more than it helps them.

Recipients??

I am not in favor of more support one over the other but I understand it happens. In a 100 percent Socialist economy, who gets the support first and most? The masses or the locked in 1 percent elite dear leaders? On paper, socialism will tell you everyone is equal. Reality is a different story.

So, like dictatorships based on fascist ideology.

Sorry, but I'm unaware of any government program listed below the definition. Help me out and name it. Isn't this better to actually discuss differences instead of calling each other poopy heads? I think it is.

I didn't complain. I pointed out that fact in response to a poster who said Florida could take care of their own recovery if not for amounts sent to the federal government. Actually, Florida does receive much more than they contribute.
