That entire post has no logic to it. It is just a hateful, and wrong headed, rant.

Every democracy is a welfare state i.e. a mixture of socialism and capitalism.

Most everyone I know who was educated spent plenty of time in the private sector. I came out of a poor town, earned my way through college, was State director of three agencies and spent the last 20 years selling real estate. Made the Hall of Fame for RE/MAX.

Doesn't get more real than that.

I did find the public sector had more educated, honest and hard working people than the private sector.

<<Socialists are primarily divided into three main groups.

1. Idiots who have lived their lives in education establishments, or in public jobs, because they couldn't make it in the private sector. They have degrees, but lack knowledge and a true "education". They live far too much of their lives in havens. Most of them grew up with a silver spoon, were coddled at a young age and went to college in order to party, then were surprised someone gave them a degree after a few years. Eventually mom and dad got sick of them living at home, so they convinced a family member or friend to give them a job in some public university or with the state.

2. Multi-generational dependent Welfare ignoramuses who see themselves as a victim that need government handouts at every turn. They've been raised and taught in the failed school system the first group teaches in. So they look to them for answers to all their problems.

3. Union thugs who desire power and control over other people by extorting money from them via union dues and other favors.
