We've probably discussed this before, but most of the pro-socialist persons
I know do not understand this.  They seem to believe that they will still
be able to pursue their dreams of being able-bodied and having a liberal
arts major while doing nothing.  I suspect that some of them hope to gain
favor from, or even a cushy government position from, those who would be in
charge.

I believe that a vast majority of them would be in for a rude awakening.
