Everyone thinks that having no “poor” people is just dandy, when in reality EVERYONE is equally poor.

There is nothing appealing about Socialism. Those who want it need to move out of this country.

Good call, Its the Tax rate (you liberal ninnies).
Excellent judgement call.

NO innovation.

I’m still trying to figure that out myself. The only ones I can see that want socialism are the poor(they want handouts), the elitist politicians(they have god complexes and are out for the vote of the poor) and hippies high on LSD!

Liberals like the idea of socialism. They want the whole country to be as lazy as they are.

and what are the odds that we can re-claim freedom from the clutches of socialism, radical environmentalism and the onslaught of the one-world-order? What are our chances of convincing the masses that the path they have chosen, leads to enslavement and that they are already there? How is it possible to change a mindset that exists in the majority of the population, created by government promises of a “free lunch”, or saving the environment at any cost, including our very freedom? If our children are being indoctrinated and brainwashed in our schools and colleges, do we have any chance of getting the next generation to see the light? If a person or a family gets a check every month from the all-benevolent government, what is the likelihood that we can convince that person or family that what they are receiving is not only not free, but is making them a dependent (ward) of government and sapping their individual strength and independence? If we continue to allow the hordes of illegal aliens that flood into this country with a socialist mindset and grant them amnesty, how will we offset their votes to stop the socialism they will bring. How do we overcome a strong and powerful media bias that opposes freedom and endorses government control and abuse?

I think some people promote the idea in order to control others. The typical reason for accepting the idea is ignorance, because as you said, it doesn’t work. Ultimately it kills the golden egg laying goose and destroys the self respect of people who come to expect something for nothing.
