At it’s root concept, socialism is a good thing. People will be taken care of and can afford to eat etc.
The problem with the way many runs socialism is that it takes away innovation and creates two classes the very rich and the poor. Then you have the other aspect of socialism is that people just stop producing and you end up with crap. Why would a person go out of their way to make a better product when the person next to them is putting out junk and both are getting the same pay and it does not matter what you do because you will always be treated the same.
This is what Bernie Sanders and that whole part of the Democratic party want. They want everyone to be the same everywhere and this is not reality. They also want to steal from the rich and give to the poor. They make the rich out to be these evil people who care nothing for humanity. This is as far from the truth as you can possibly be.
There are a lot of rich philanthropist who like to help in their own way without being forced to give everything they have worked for to the government.
Before you disagree with me about innovation, people may initially set out to help others or solve a problem with some product or what have you, but in the end the real compensation they want is money. This was the American Dream. You could come to America and do something and make a lot of money with a lot of hard work.
So why then, do the socialists in this country want to give you everything? Because they think you are too stupid to achieve the American Dream and they are afraid you will become as powerful as them with a little hard work. Also, with socialism you will not get everything you want, there will be many sacrifices like the right to own a gun, freedom of speech, freedom of religion, right to vote, etc. I can imagine you are scratching your head and going how is this possible.
Well with this plan, more and more socialist will be voted into office and eventually, they will have complete control. Once this happens, the Constitution is gone and when that happens, we will all be slaves just like we were when the mining companies ruled with an iron fist. At this point in time, we will be like Russia, China, and North Korea.
The question you have to ask yourself is this what you really want? The Jews wants a king and they got Saul and accepted him. They also wanted the messiah who is Christ and they rejected him. So it may seem like a good idea, but in the end it will lead to our destruction.
