    I guess I'll never understand why people think socialism is a good idea. History (and common sense) has proven that socialism doesn't work, yet we insist on instituting it here in America. All it does is make everybody poorer and less self sufficient.

    Girlscouts? Hmmm, I don't know... I think it's kinda dangerous to teach young girls self esteem and leadership skills.

    Who doesnt want free food? Who doesn't want free housing? Who doesnt want free healthcare? Who doesn't want free transportation?

    The government will pay for it.

    Its free stuff.

    They dont realize it comes from their taxes. Someone has to pay for this stuff.

    What's the alternative for the current situation? Let those kids starve? I'd like for my taxes not to have to go to pay for welfare, just like the rest of you, but I'm not willing to do so if kids have to go hungry.

    I believe it was Ben Franklin who said that poverty should be painful. Reason being, there should be incentive to work hard and improve your lot in life.

    I'm not one to let children starve, but when people who use welfare as a way of life because they're too lazy to work keep having kids because they have nothing better to do, something big needs to change.

    Libs always come up with the darnest thing. They hold up their 'starving' kids while demanding free cell phones.

    Local communities will come up with it. Neighbors take care of their neighbors. Communities take care of their less fortunate.

    Nobody denies their is a need for the less fortunate.

    We can take care of them without the government.

    They might not have cellphones and flatpanels but they will be taken care of.
