There is “nothing more American” than socialism, and it has proven to deliver life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness, Colorado congressional candidate Melat Kiros asserted during a recent interview.
Kiros, who believes there should be a Trans Bill of Rights, made the declaration during a recent interview on PBS’s Firing Line with Margaret Hoover . The candidate staunchly defended socialism, asserting that it has delivered on the ideas outlined in the founding documents of the United States.
“I don’t think there’s anything more American than subscribing to an economic philosophy that, as the evidence shows, is the only one that’s actually capable of delivering things like life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness,” Kiros said. “I really can’t.”
“Socialism has proven to deliver on the values of the Declaration of Independence more than capitalism has?” Hoover asked.
“Yeah,” Kiros declared. “You know, when we talk about capitalism, you know, one of the things that folks talk about with capitalism as a theory is that it’s responsible for you know delivering people out of poverty here in the U.S.,” which she said “isn’t the entire story.”
Instead, she credited the pull out of poverty to “social safety programs.”

Liberty.
is not something the government collects according to ability and gives according to need.
LMAO. Jamestown tried it...nearly wiped them all out. So maybe they mean it is so bad...it woke the idiots up to become capitalists.
All America's “social safety programs” have accomplished is to create a permanent welfare class.
Neither is life or pursuit of happiness, so Kiros is 0 for 3.
Thanksgiving is a celebration of the End of Socialism in America, see William Bradfords Diary.
Of course, PBS is not going to to call her out on such a ridiculous assertion - born in Ethiopia, mis-educated in American schools to believe all problems can be solved by the government.
She obviously doesn’t know the meaning of the word “liberty” - which means freedom from government.
Unfortunately, those mis-educated in American public school are taught to believe same - and that’s why she has so much support.
That’s absolutely true.
The pilgrims already tried socialism and it didn’t work one bit.
This guy was clearly absent during History class. He missed the part about the Soviet Union, Mao’s China, post war easter-Europe being a barrel of chuckles everyday with store shelves bursting and being shot for speaking out was non-existent.
Rush would broadcast that lesson every year around Thanksgiving. I made my kids listen to it.
“The foreign born running for office, lying about what America is, and trying to enslave Americans.”
I have seen this movie before.
The Kenyan.
Done several times, none successfully!
Brooke Farm,Oneida Settlement*
Turned into Oneida tableware company. Only became successful when it gave up radical economic and social notions!
And in New York. And in Michigan...
Bernie the Vermont Burn Bot failed socialism or it failed him. He got tossed out of a commune because he refused to work. He thought his contribution was constant “workers education” sessions. Of course with him doing the lecturing!
If there was ever a reason to repeal the 17th Amendment it’s Bernie!
Born in Ethiopia gets into a competitive college here, goes to notre dame u law school
WTF while our kids are breaking that lives to get into school. Who gets into ND law school like it’s routine?
People born in other countries
Americans who work, pay taxes can’t run for office
This woman doesn’t know the constitution Certainly not better that Amy coney barret who went to ND law
PURSUIT of happiness. As the Will Smith movie made clear, it is the PURSUIT that the Constitution guarantees. Socialism wants to GIVE you HAPPINESS with no PURSUIT.
LIBERTY is when an adult has the FREEDOM to CHOOSE and experience the results of that choice. LIBERTY is not the absence of consequences for bad choices.
LIFE ....
I’ve been saying for years the 17th needs to go.
