We've gone from "Ask not what your country can do for you, but what you can do for your country" to: "Ask not what you can do for your country, just demand your country give you: free healthcare, free college, free assistance, and tax the rich to pay for it." What's worse is some Dems (lunatics like Michael Moorse) are embracing her types as the new face of the Democratic party. She herself claims to be a Democratic Socialist. It's just lipstick on a pig called Socialism. It does not work, will never work, and especially not in this country.
Occasional Cortex envisions something like the Scandinavian countries when it comes to socialism stuff in this country. What she refuses to see or acknowledge is that the population there is relatively homogeneous with a desire to work and contribute to society, and that everyone pays their share of taxes (even on the lower side), and that the country is relatively small with lower population that is CONTROLLED with strict immigration. Not open borders, nor do they have the illegal problems we have here. Someone has to pay for that too. What they have there will not work here. We have too many different races and classes of people, each with different backgrounds and work ethics, and far too many will have no incentive to work hard or strive for the greater good when they are guaranteed healthcare, guaranteed college education, etc.
