I think a lot of these celebrities travel around the world and look at the fake systems in place in other countries, and assume that they are actually possible because they never bother to work out the costs with this thing called "math."
Canada is running a socialist medical system, and at first glance it looks like a success. So do many European countries who are more "socialist".
Celebrities see this stuff, and never look any deeper. They see the illusion that this stuff is working, so they assume we're just mean and backwards because we don't implement this same socialist crap that they think works so well in Europe and Canada.
Except for the fact that it doesn't. Europe and Canada both rely on us to defend them. (This is how they pay for their medical system.) Their tax rates are crazy, but they're still running out of money.
They are slowly circling the drain as a nation.
But celebrities only see the surface. They are too shallow and naive to look deeper. Especially because they want to believe in socialism.
The Celebudweebs like Sean Penn love the "peoples paradises" like Cuba because when they visit they're treated like royalty. They aren't shown the suffering of the average joe. They don't want to.
I agree with everything you have said. :)
