"Social Security is "socialism"."

IT IS SOCIALISM, targeted socialism and I fully support it. Actually I want the $184K cap removed---upscale professionals who think they are so hot--need to pay more. I think people with advanced degrees should have retirement age bumped, while manual laborers should have there's lower -- AGREE? Or are you MAGA

"Medicare is "socialism"."

IT IS, targeted Socialism and I am 100% on record - for it. Raise my taxes a bit to increase pay rates to doctors and hospitals. PRESERVE the private sector choice and competition and pilot test a public option and MediCare for all.
********

"Medicaid is "socialism""

IT IS and targeted socialism for poor Americans to see a doctor - fine by me. BUT I want a culture that churns out less poverty. The other side WANTS more property so they turn a blind eye to things like 34% of births out of wedlock. I want health care for poor - - SOME --want more poor people to own.
*******

"The 40 hour work week is "socialism"."

Nope, it's not. That is a reactionary comment.
******

"A decent minimum wage is "socialism"."

It's a bumper sticker for Liberal Professionals who want to shout "$15 an hour" ---rather then demand an education system and culture ---where more Americans don't make minimum wage jobs---a career
*******

"Paid holidays and sick leave and family leave are "socialism"."

Yes. They are. You are asking business owners to subsidize someone's life choices. If YOU are willing to pay more tax--- not just for the leave but for the upheaval that some positions being 'absent" will cost -- let's talk, you have a worthy position.
************

"The right of workers to unionize is "socialism"."

I support right to unionize. But I don't support FORCED unionization. Workers aren't my slaves. I can't tell them what to do ---but *ahem* someone else might like to do that.

"A progressive tax system is "socialism"."

It is. BUT --- how about AMT tax comes back fully? End 401K and IRA tax benefits and deferrals. End all favorable capital gains and dividend taxes---- and demand citizens reimburse the government for past benefits ---- are you for that or are you MAGA?

"The Civil Rights Act is "socialism"."

No, it isn't. Europeans and their sons have raped and stolen and enslaved right up to today. They have to be slapped. BUT -- it's not me telling poor blakc families they can't choose where their kids go to school. People who oppose me want the plantation. Great White Fathers with Co-exist stickers.

"Public schools are "socialism"."

Possibly and I 100% support educating our people. We all benefit from that but - -it's White Liberals running Big Academia and making it out of reach for many. And it's White Liberals who have poor blacks trapped in shit schools for 50 years plus. These racists will shout "fund education" ---but they dont care that this problem is now structural and generational---they want that.

"The federal highway system is "socialism"."

Yes, it is. As someone who has loudly shouted for MORE infrastructure spending - I'm all for it.

"The Veterans Administration is "socialism"."

In the purest definition- sure. Just because someone is anti Socialism doesn't mean they can't pick and choose - extremists. don't understand that.

"Clean energy is "socialism"."

No, it's not.

"Clean air and water are "socialism"."

No, it's not. But having America make tons of sacrifices so Liberals can tell us all how to live--while giving India and China leniency? Blatantly anti Americanism

"The FDA and CDC and vaccination programs are "socialism"."

Okay -- but I've always said, I'm happy to know my food is ok to eat -- again, targeted.

"Consumer protection is "socialism"."

No it isn't.

"Banking and financial regulation are "socialism"."

No, it isn't. Banking is RE-gressive. The White Liberals from the Ivy League run this cartel. And the poor blacks in the city that White Liberals made slaves? Guess who pays higher interest rates and late fees-- to subsidize nicer finance terms for White Liberals...yeah make sure to shout down any criticism of pop culture. Any mention as to why a Korean strip mall has math tutoring offices, while certain other strip malls have $200 hair braiding stores--that would help the slaves be free. .

"Antitrust enforcement is "socialism".

No, it isn't .

"Childcare and maternity care are "socialism"."

Having a baby and wanting taxpayers to pay the babysitter is socialism. Too bad 34% of families have one parent -- that's a small part of the need.

"Affordable housing is "socialism".

Yes it is. Make sure that ever affluent White Liberal enclave demands such housing in their backyard. Or go to America's 20 wealthiest zip codes and tithe their home equity to pay housing for Lower incomes. Hey - Boston, La, Miami, San Fran---are you with me.

"The national parks are "socialism".

Pur definiation? Perhaps yes.

"The National Weather Service is "socialism"."

Yes, we all pay for it for the collective.

"FEMA is "socialism"."

technically yes ---I wish it was better funded and more competent.

BUT the fact that you see ALL of this - even competent things as "Socialism" means you are a socialist ---not into targets. socialism -- but a proud socialist and that's ok. Sadly for your, our American Democracy isn't Socialist, it's Capitalist though I feel abuses of capitalism PLUS bad culture is leading to more socialism needs - not just targeted socialism.

France and Germany will need austerity to cure their socialism

Don't worry, you'll get that Utopia here soon.
