You are right. But I wouldn’t say Americans want “Socialism.” They want transfer payments so that they can live the good life and have the “rich” pay for it. They believe that they can have free health care and free housing and Obamaphones and a whole bunch of other benefits if the “rich” would just pay their “fair share.” They don’t understand that the Dems’ agenda is simply a means to control. Give the Middle Class all kinds of benefits but tax the life out of them to provide them. Then the Middle Class become serfs — wards of the state who give their money to the state in exchange for being “taken care of.” With, of course, the Dems in control. Its evil and totalitarian but a lot of people are willing to live in a state of serfdom to have the illusion of safety.
It seems that those deadbeats don’t understand that wealthy people can vacate this Nation upon a whim. There would be no suckers to pay for their easy life.
