It boggles me why there are so many "anti-socialist" people in society today. I don’t know what it is, but some people think that they are special because they are a ‘conservative’. Do these people think they are rich? Do these people own their own business? Do these people get excellent medical care? Do these people get free prescription drugs? The answer most people in the United States would say is, no!
The fact is, most people are making less than $15 an hour and for some reason they aren’t socialist. This is a crime against logic. I mean, socialism is a political ideology for the people, by the people. Socialism is for taxing the rich and giving to the poor (you). I mean, you probably think you’re high and mighty with your $15 an hour job and Cadillac, but you’re not. You’re just a working class Republican-wannabe.
For example, if all of these working class Republicans voted for Democrats or Socialist candidates, there would be universal prescription drugs and healthcare. Plus, you working class folks would have a lot more money to spend. Why? Because you would have your benefits put into your take-home paycheck; plus you would have dirt cheap healthcare and prescription drug costs. Also, the rich would be taxed a lot more, and you would be taxed a lot less.
For example, your healthcare now is probably mediocre (hospitals/small family doctors). If you voted socialist, you would have the same healthcare, but it would be almost free. Right now you work a job that takes a ton of money out of your paycheck for benefits/healthcare – plus you have to pay a ton for prescription drugs. If you voted socialist, you would have dirt cheap healthcare/drug costs. Still, for odd some reason, working class people still vote for candidates that are not looking out for the working class people’s interests. I have no idea why people actually vote for candidates that are looking out for big corporation’s interests, it makes no sense.
Overall though, I guess what it boils down to is your own life. You’re most likely going to be stuck working for the rest of your life, so why not look out for yourself? You only get one life, so why not use it to help yourself and others? I mean, I’m not preaching communism, just socialism. It will be the same country except that you will have a lot more money in YOUR pocket, and those rich CEOs won’t get their floppidygillion dollar bonus this year.
It’s your life though, if you want to remain a working class pawn for the 1%, go for it. As for me, I’m going to make myself count and try to beat the repression by voting Democrat/Socialist.
Btw, I should be preaching to the choir, but I probably won't be for some reason.
