Hello Jeff,

 JT>>> There have been no serious Socialist candidates for decades.
 LL>> Except for Bernie Sanders, who won as a socialist, still claims
 LL>> to be a socialist, and remains an elected public official, now as
 LL>> a US Senator from Vermont.

 JT> Bernie describes himself as a "Democratic Socialist." He's a far cry from,
 JT> say, Eugene Debs.

Or Norman Thomas.

 LL>> Conservatives love socialism, as long as the benefits are for
 LL>> the wealthy.

 JT> Proper socialism advocates that the means of production, distribution, and
 JT> exchange should be owned or regulated by the community as a whole. No one
 JT> that I know of supports this.

Are you saying, or suggesting, that Jesus was a socialist?
And what about all those Christians who claim to worship him?
Are they also socialists? Just like Jesus?

 JT> What conservatives mean by "socialism" is a government redistribution of
 JT> wealth, and yes, they support it when it serves their purpose. But few
 JT> realize, or will admit, that tax cuts for the wealthy are also a government
 JT> redistribution of wealth.

So who pays for all the stuff we have today? Who pays for the bridges,
highways, hospitals, schools, everything we enjoy and take for granted?
Certainly none of it is free. Somebody has to pay for it. The poor do
not have any money, so they are forgiven. The rich do not have to pay
anything, so they are also exempt. So what does Congress do? It kicks
the can to the next generation. Let our kids, and grand kids, pay for
everything. As we enjoy now what they will pay for.

Reagan tried to teach us.
So did GWB.
As well as Trump.

If you want to make money, you have to spend money. Preferably
other people's money.

For Life,
Lee
