Socialism 1

Rgarding Loerke's review: The biggest lie involved with the clever fiction called socialism is that someone gets something for "free". Nothing is free- someone pays for it. Penalizing success (as Obama wants to do) stifles success. I have never understood the entitlement mentality. So people are entitled to "free" healthcare? People are entitled to a "free" education? Then why the hell do we have to pay for water? How about food? How about clothing? How about shleter? Are these needs less important than health insurance/ healthcare? I have asked this before and never seem to get an answer. I wonder why.

I notice that even the genius who rated this "funny" cannot answer the question. Typical.

Well, actually, you are much more likely to get free water and food in America than healthcare or education. Public assistance isn't dead. As for education, under socialist regimes not everyone gets it. You actually have to work hard to get into college, unlike the U.S. Just as with health care, education should not be a commodity.

If we all get a "free" education (to take one example), who pays for it?

Well put Victor83. Health care, like many other things in this world, is not a right.
