Socialism plain and simple sucks.
Okay Tie, let's get rid of our socialized police department. If you cannot afford private security, I am sure you'll enjoy the extremely high crime rate that comes as a result.
Also, let's get rid of our socialized park system. Who needs parks anyway? They are a total waste of space.
Oh, and that socialized fire department? Seems like such a waste of tax dollars to provide a service that saves properties and keeps fires from engulfing entire cities.
So many people are so quick to bash "socialism" while failing to understand what it actually means for them.
There are plenty of things that it just makes sense for them to be provided for everyone by the government, with tax dollars, because they serve the common good. Health care is one of those things, IMO.
Some of the highest life expectancies of the world, as well as some of the best quality of life, is found in democratic socialist countries, such as Sweden.
If you truly think socialism is bad, just imagine what the US would be like without it. It would not be pretty, I assure you. Socialism is what separates us from the third world, plain and simple.
You don't want socialism? Somalia is a perfect example of a country with no socialism whatsoever. Feel free to move there.
