The only people that are scared of socialism, are the rich (and too bad for you money hungry bastards, your sooo greedy you are now such a minority
that your vote/voice isn't gonna mean a thing when it hits the fan), and the ignorant people who confuse socialism with communism.
Personally I grew up with a father who worked his butt off as a plumber and through his sweat and blood made many a company rich, then he got his own
company and did very well for himself, but kept only one truck. Me or a family friend as a helper, and he lived well. He was not greedy, did not hit
people over the head when he could have and become rich. But he raised 4 kids with no government help.
Growing up I wanted to emulate him, I was a plumbing mechanic, until I lost a leg(when i was " bumped" onto the LIRR tracks), while not on the job,
and at the time I was working for a guy who was the "out to get rich type",had no medical as I was off the books. I had worked several plumbing jobs
, honeing my skills as a mechanic, most on the books, some off the books when times were tough. During this time, times were tough I had a 5 year old
daughter.
Now I live in FL, Do you know what the governament pays me a month? a little over $600/per month, yep thats $150 a week. I have 1 leg. They are not
gonna pay for my schooling. They do not give me low income housing since I'm not 55+, I'm only in my 30's. My daughter is now 11, if not for her
amazing grandmother, on her mothers side, she'd be living under the states system, well no she'd come live with me and my parents, and we'd make it
work somehow.
I live with my parents, since I could not afford my single bedroom apartment when I got out of the hospital.
My old man has basically lost his mind due to a breakdown some years ago, although thankfully he had a good on the books union job when he was
declared mentaly disabled. so he brings home a "whopping" $1100 a month. Whoopy!
My mother being a stay at home Mom her whole life has no job skills, shes in here 60's and cannot learn new job skills, her hands barely work. So she
works at the local food mart and makes like $375 a week, and gives the government almost 1/3 of that. Thank you America!
So as a family of 3, we are trying to pay our mortgage/home owners insurance, feed ourselves,cloth ourselves, cover medical bills, and keep 1 car on
the road all with about $2500-2700 a month. Wanna go out to a restaurant? or to the Cinema? haha. Buy gifts for eachother on B-days/ Holidays? hahaha.
These things now are luxuries for us.
Don't get me wrong I'm grateful for what I do have, I'm alive, I have my daughter, although I can only visit her about twice a year for a couple
weeks,as I live very far from her.
But when I see our goverment throwing millions/billions of dollars at other countries, to house, and feed people...well it makes me frigging sick.
Also when I hear a rich bastard complain about chipping in a couple hunded more a month out of his 6 figures, I wanna shoot them in the face. Or
"accidently" bump them on the nearest railroad tracks.
But I don't do it, I'd never do it. Cause I believe in the great universal equilizer. Karma-
I am just one case out of hundreds of thousands. So all of you rich people outta be scared, because...
