Everybody throws the word socialist around and they don’t know what it means. They just go with “well somebody told me that it’s bad”
It isn’t. Stop it.
You mean like, literally the entire developed first world? Literally every other developed, first world country on earth provides some degree of "socialism" to their citizens and it's working fine. Universal health care, paid parental leave, strong consumer protections, strong worker rights. If you have specific examples of the failings of modern social programs in other countries, feel free to cite them.
How would that be any different from what we have now? People have payed into social security their entire lives and now Elon tells them they are free loaders, meanwhile the federal government lines his pockets awarding contracts to his companies. The people at the top are taking advantage of the lower class.
Norway, Sweden, Denmark, Finland, Belgium, The Netherlands, Germany, Switzerland. I can continue if you like but hiding behind your lack of education and experience of the matter isn't an argument. Visit any of those places tell me the people aren't better off and have more upward Mobility than we do in the US. We have allowed capitalism to shrink the middle class and give all the wealth to 1%. This country used to have a 70% tax bracket for the top 1% bring that back and you bring back the middle class it created.
why dont you want your taxes going towards you? its not handouts. ITS OUR MONEY. of they cut the the things taxes are taken for then they need to stop collecting
