In response to the letter, “U.S. hardly home to socialist party”: A socialist believes a persons body, health, soul, property and money belong to the state. Let’s take care of the easy ones first — property and money. Right now there is a war being waged by Democrats against people who own property and/or money. I don’t believe that you should be able to take away something from somebody else who has worked hard to earn it, to give it to somebody that can’t or won’t.
If you want people to have more, stop giving Congress their wage for the rest of their life even when they are not in office. Set term limits so we can get people in there that are not stuck in the ‘80s. Next, body and health. Obamacare, and it doesn’t work. Enough said. Only thing left that Democrats and socialists don’t have in common by the letter is control of the soul. Well, since it would not be going out on a limb to say that most Democrats are not religious or at the very least not devout, there is no soul to worry about. Isn’t there a war on certain religions right now? A business has to bake a cake for gay people even though it’s against their religious beliefs or they will be fined. You may not think it’s right for them to do so but they are offended by it. Yet you are punishing them for their beliefs. Sounds to me like the only difference between a Democrat and a socialist is the name.
