We’re not on FR to discuss welfare payments and other socialist programs and this thread is about something else entirely.

Wow, I've never seen anyone so dense. I was talking about the roots of socialism, and this is absolutely the place for conservatives to discuss the roots of socialism and the best way to combat them.

This is what you posted to me. Now you want to talk about socialist solutions to your socialist definition of the problem. Do it on a liberal site, not on conservative FR.

"We have these programs, because family and church failed. The New Deal resonated with the public when it was first conceived because the voluntary and charitable solutions were already failing. It’s a political fact in any system that when private solutions fail, the people will indeed demand that government step in. It’s played out countless times in countless nations."
