>If a little socialism is good, then a lot is much better right?

A little chocolate is good, a lot is bad... what kind of statement is that?

Just trying to state again, trying to point out, I bet there is a point for you that someone else's view of socialism would have you at a point of rebelling against it.

>There's too many safety nets now. I never had any money in the first place, did you?

I worked hard, got a couple of breaks... I know that I wouldn't have gotten nearly as far as I have without growing up with a few connections.

I couple of breaks the other way and I wouldn't be living nearly as well.

Only "breaks" I could say is, I stayed at the same place for years going nowhere. When several people left and retired, I was ready to hit the ground running. I don't view my choices as a "break". I didn't have any connections. I started at the bottom and worked my way up.

>You don't get tired of politicians buying votes by telling their voters it's all your fault?

Nobody's saying it's all my fault! You make this stuff up!


None of it is your fault? Then why are you paying for it?

Considering your opinion of our government, I don't see why you would be advocating more govt control of your life.
