Face it: America has always already embraced socialism. No nation on earth can function without socialism. Without it, you have places like Somalia. I don't understand why RWs struggle with this so much. Socialism in an economic system does not necessarily mean the absence of a private market. The US is a mixed economy. Anything funded by tax payers is socialism. Period.
Did you know that France keeps actors on the Government payroll, and several years ago they went on strike for more pay. Did you also know that France brags about a 15% unemployment rate?
SOCIALISM 101
1. You cannot legislate the poor into prosperity by legislating the wealthy out of prosperity.
2. What one person receives without working for, another person must work for without receiving.
3. The government cannot give to anybody anything that the government does not first take from somebody else.
4. You cannot multiply wealth by dividing it!
5. When half of the people get the idea that they do not have to work because the other half is going to take care of them, and when the other half gets the idea that it does no good to work because somebody else is going to get what they work for, that is the beginning of the end of any nation.
"Socialism is a philosophy of failure, the creed of ignorance, and the gospel of envy, its inherent virtue is the equal sharing of misery."Winston Churchill
