Socialism to me is finding things with our tax dollars to others for their pet needs, poor choices and lazy behaviors. No, I am simply stating that the more you get among others, the more it is like being in an elevator.

In a public elevator, would it be right to scream, smoke, cuss, get naked and so forth?
When you live close to others, you have your rights restricted due to proximity, that is the point I made.

I DON’T LIKE SOCIALISM, COMMUNISM or PERMANENT SAFTEY NETS IN GOVERNMENT.
Welfare, food stamps and such should be for a few months, after that, at least have them clean up roads or something to earn their way.

The difference begin, in my philosophy... no one will put a government gun to your head if you do those things while the elevator is otherwise EMPTY.

Further, social strictures used to have more force than law. Ostracism was one of the worst things that could happen to a person. Now, under the protection of the laws of the government you are trying to excuse... these freaks and morons are a protected species. People are ACTIVELY prevented from protecting themselves or their property by those laws.

This is not a system that can last long without it truly decaying into violence and chaos.
