Time to get the message.

Fact of the matter is that we Americans like socialism. Socialized Social Security. And socialized Medicare. And Socialized Medicaid. Seems to me that the opponents of socialism are opposed to the word ‘socialism.’ Because they have been brought up to believe that socialism is bad. Without fully understanding what socialism really is. It’s two of our most coveted social programs. Polls show that a vast majority of Americans are for keeping Social Security and Medicare as government-run programs. Rather than buying into the Republicans’ proposal to privatize both of ‘em. In essence, we Americans are proclaiming, ‘Long Live Socialism.’ Nothing wrong with that. Now it’s time for Republicans to get the message. –Jim Broede
