How To Sell Socialism To Rural America

[rightwinger]

I'm responding via my genny power tonight to inform you that 'rural Americans who live in rural America' like myself are fairly self sufficient, sustainable, and have zero f*cks to give about 'socialism' R'winger

You got it ALL backwards

Don’t get more socialism than farm subsidies

The government controls what you grow, prices , protects you from losses and natural disasters

The U.S. government heavily influences what farmers grow and consumers eat through various policies to subsidize the production of certain crops.

They stuck a gun to your head or what?

Is there a penalty for not enrolling in Medicare Part A at age 65?


You will NOT pay a penalty for delaying Medicare, as long as you enroll within 8 months of losing your coverage or stopping work (whichever happens first). You'll want to plan ahead and enroll in Part B at least a month before you stop working or your employer coverage ends, so you don't have a gap in coverage.

Don't want Medicare? Simples. Never sign up.

co-ops aren’t socialism either. In fact just the opposite, private individuals own the business

do any of you clowns actually know what socialism is?

[Grumblenuts]

So? Men like barley. They should try dating women like their more urban counterparts.

Rural farms only bow to the Feds FDA stamp to be able to retail

Many of us simply fly under their radar, because we don't

[Grumblenuts]

Good. Now make your own ladders, process your own lumber, and extrude your own nails.
