My Congresswoman isn't on that list. She is finally listening to us.
Other than the minimum wage - Which parts of that platform do you have a problem with?
Most Americans support those goals - which is why Republicans lost the last two nation election cycles, reducing them to whiny, pathetic, losers. I thought Democrats were sore losers - Republicans lately make them look downright stoic.
That's a long list - it will grow.
All of those that wish to live in a socialist country need to realize that this is a free country and they are free to go live in one. For those who wish to turn this country into a socialist one, I consider as enemies of the state and one day more Americans will feel the same as me. Take your socialism and park it where the sun don't shine.
Shark - This has been a socialist country since at least the 1930s, definitely since the 1960s Social Security, Interstate highways, Medicare - all big government programs, all socialism. the government does some things better than the private sector, such as build infrastructure. Health care will be one of those things. If you don't want it you won't have to get it. Some of the same people who bitched about a social security tax in the '30s ended up grateful for it in their old age.
I ask again - of the goals listed in this post, what do you have a problem with?
One day....? If I had a dime for every time I've heard that phrase.
Enemy of the state? I am the state.
Love it or leave it indeed.
