You might be a socialist if

Posted: Nov 9, 2015

If your taxes go to fund the military. The U.S. Military is the largest socialist funded program in the world. The military operates from taxpayer dollars and protects every citizen from the rich to the homeless. It protects American citizens regardless of whether or not they pay taxes. Members of the armed forces are also paid salaries; in many cases they live rent free, travel the world, and have free meals on the tax payer’s dime. This is socialism.

The military is not a socialist program. It's payback for a service. - It's not dependency on govt.

A military is also constitutional.

What has happened to education in this country? No wonder we are in the state we are in!

Public education is a socialist program - You must be a socialist

Congratulations and welcome to the club. How do you like your Social Security?

Try not paying SS taxes and see what hapens. Socialist schools, - get money from the feds

only if they teach a certain curriculum. Sounds more like indoctrination.

Neither SS nor public school funding are in the Constitution. Military is.

I can see why this country is in the trouble it's in.

Public education and social security - solutions

[ In Reply To ..]
Public education is funded through many taxes, Fed, State, and local. It even funds home schooling and some private schools.

Many senior citizens rely on Social Security to fund their basic needs when they are too old to compete in the workforce.

If you do not like public education and Social Security, what are your solutions?

This has been discussed ad nauseum. Vouchers, privatization, etc. - It never happens because of

unions.

401k plans were started to give people more control over their money.

Do you pay taxes? Do you receive the "benefit". - whether

You are not able to opt out of paying your military tax and receive all those great bennies, are you? It is a socialist program.

You are Not a socialist if-- - you are completely self-sufficient

Perhaps if you live off the land, completely isolated, making no contact with anyone by any publicly structured device (telephone), and when you shoot the animals you eat (if you eat meat) they had better not have been redirected to your land by DNR. Also the water you use had better not be drainage directed by TVA or EPA. No outside goods because those get messed up with socialist programs like highways and fuel and airplanes. Maybe a carrier pigeon will bring you your tax refund!

You didn't build it! - unless you are a beaver

building a dam. Ha. In any society, we humans are all socialists. How would these "anti-socialists" post on this board without their computers and internet structure. Need some highly skilled and educated techs in the military and in private business. Well, perhaps they could go back to writing on cave walls.

Being social about people and a government system - of "socialism" are not the same

Sorry, I don't have time to watch - Can you do a short summary?

I highly doubt the anti-socialists from this board are going to go off the grid and eat whale blubber, though.

I love Alaska the Last Frontier. That is Jewel's (the - singer) family. Apparently

their father came from Switzerland to Alaska years ago thinking Hitler was going to take over the world, and have learned to live off the land since.

President's socialist takeover must be stopped By Jeffrey T. Kuhner The Washington Times President Obama has engaged in numerous high crimes and misdemeanors. The Democratic majority in Congress is in peril as Americans reject his agenda. Yet more must be done: Mr. Obama should be impeached.

Same scenario as the small business lending and tax cut measure they killed yesterday in the Senate. House dems tried to use a procedure that would require 2/3rds rather than simple majority that would not allow GOP “poison pill” amendments aimed at defeating the measure. GOP tried using the argument that the PAID FOR price tag was more than Medicare. Anthony Weiner goes ballistic. http://www.nydailynews.com/news/politics/2010/07/29/2010-07-29_congress_reject ...

Maduro, a socialist who sees himself as the political heir to his predecessor, Hugo Chavez, has long railed against the United States, blaming it for Venezuela's economic crisis and accusing Washington of attempting to topple him ...

Bernie Sanders entered what his supporters must consider the belly of the beast on Monday. He spoke at the conservative evangelical Liberty University in Virginia. Some of those supporters sat in reserved seats, ensuring his remarks would be received with some applause. Liberal and Democratic speakers at Liberty are not as rare as one might think. In 1983, Sen. Ted Kennedy visited and spoke about religious freedom, standing up for the right of conservative evangelicals to be heard in the pub ...

If this is true, it's certainly sad for America. I don't know how our President stays focused knowing people think he is a non-U.S. citizen, racist, etc. Some are even praying for his death. A new poll of more than 2,000 self-identified Republican voters illustrates the incredible paranoia enveloping the party and the intense pressure drawing lawmakers further and further away from political moderation. The numbers speak for themselves -- a large portion of GOP voters think that Presid ...
