Socialism- take time to learn

Don’t be mislead by false self-serving political rhetoric, especially from a demagogue.

Socialism is not providing, through universal taxation, programs and services needed, even occasionally, by all or some members of a society.

Individuals ranting about socialism in American are uniformed dolts easily manipulated by Trump’s self-serving propaganda.

There is not one socialist country in the world, not even the Scandinavian countries with their strong social support systems.

Do you envision a society with lower taxes and where each individual takes care of themselves for the full cost of healthcare, in the event of unemployment, disability, housing, food, child care, education including college, retirement regardless of income level, education or where they live?

Is this the society you want?

“No man is an Iland, intire of it selfe; every man is a peece of the Continent, a part of the maine; if a Clod bee washed away by the Sea, Europe is the lesse, as well as if a Promontorie were, as well as if a Mannor of thy friends or of thine owne were; any mans death diminishes me, because I am involved in Mankinde; And therefore never send to know for whom the bell tolls; It tolls for thee.” John Donne 1624
