“Socialism: Since the Democratic Party took a turn for the worse toward so-called democratic socialism, the party’s leading lights have laid the promises on pretty thick. Free Medicare for all! Guaranteed income! Guaranteed jobs! Subsidized housing! Free college! Universal pre-school! Wow, and all for free.”

The first question for any politician who promises all that should be, “If I get all that for free, why on Earth would I need or want a job?” No one with everything free and a guaranteed income would be stupid enough to want a job too.

Because if you don't take it we'll declare you a Social Parasite and toss you into the gulag.

That's how the Soviets answered that question anyway.

“Its like were living in Atlas Shrugged.”

Only the names have been changed to protect the guilty.

As Venezuelans, Zimbabweans and Nicaraguans are now discovering, once socialists control things, they never give up power peacefully.

Socialism cannot be imposed without a violent revolutionary act. "Democratic" socialism merely puts that act off for later.

Riedl looked at the 10-year costs of all the various promises made by Bernie Sanders, Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, and other self-described democratic socialists.
