What RW'ers think Socialism is:
Edited on Mon Apr-20-09 10:50 PM by SHRED

Taking money from working people and giving it to people who do not want to work.

That's about as simple as I can put it.
That is the depth of the RW'ers I come in contact with here in the San Diego area.

4. I think it's more like that amorphous fog of communism that blinded
America in the fifties and sixties. It's so terrible it can't be specifically defined, just feared. It's the monster under the bed.

7. they're so afraid somebody will get something that they don't get too
it especially infuriates them if those people might be some shade of brown

they don't want us all to get by well if someone gets something they didn't get

miserable creeps

8. They bought the big lie
They're worried about the poor people stealing from them, when they should have been watching their bankers, churches and politicians...you know, the well dressed thieves?

9. Isn't that the definition of "corporate welfare"?
Taking money from working people and giving it to "people" who do no want to work?

13. And yet
most of us - wingnuts included - are likely to eventually become elderly and/or disabled, and quite possibly very poor.

Will they hate themselves more or less when it happens to them?
