Why is Everyone Against Socialism?

Nobody wants any tyranny, but a single American millennial doesn’t represent the whole.

And what is your evidence that those “social services” are free?

No, they are not paid for, directly, at the time of their use.

But they are paid for through higher taxes.

And where is your evidence that Americans, as a whole, prefer a high-tax/high service society to a low-tax/meager service society? (True, many Americans want “the wealthy” to pay more in taxes–the old soak-the-rich theory–but very few middle-income Americans want to pay more themselves.)

Social services aren’t free, they are financed by the collective. I’m not sure why people keep talking about freebies.

Because as America grew and matured, Americans wanted fire protection and police, running water in their homes, paved roads and safe bridges, libraries and schools to educate their children, hospitals, parks, court houses, airports, interstate transportation, social safety nets like retirement benefits (social security) and healthcare in retirement, food safety services, consumer protections, street sweepers, garbage, landscaping of the commons, clean air and water, a federal emergency management system, military and coastguard, federal prisons, border patrol…

And I have only scratched the surface. All those things weren’t delivered in 1789 when the constitution was adopted, these are things that Americans demanded over the course of time, and OF COURSE taxes increase along the way to finance it all. There’s NO WAY you could provide all those safeties, comforts and benefits to yourself on your salary. It takes a collective.

yet the left wants to lump a bunch of inbred klansman running around supporting Trump and equating all of us right wingers who voted for Trump as white supremacist?

How come you folks wants us to believe not all millenials are alike but you think anyone who voted for Trump is a klansman , white supremacists, white nationalists blah blah blah.

That’s odd, one would think that would be something they’d do real well at…:rofl:

Because if you cannot afford to pay into it but take from those who have? Well, that is free. A freebie.

State-run and major news agencies hire press-stitutes. Only a minor difference.

The $2.24 extra per gallon on regular gas is taxes created by the socialists.

California is considering banning the ICE, may have something to do with that.

This is probably a Bernie supporter! :joy::joy::joy:

Only for the leeches sucking up the social services and certainly not for those forced to pay for them.

What the hell was going on there?

Perfect missed opportunity to demonstrate the use of pepper spray or a stun gun.

Just a guess on my part, but I think the guy on the bike probably thought he has the right of way over a pedestrian.

Which is never the case in a crosswalk.

You mean this?
