(53,410 posts)Let them use the word then go after them with all our socialist benefits
Do they or their parents get Social Security?
Did they get an education up to the 12th grade that the government paid for?
Do their parents get Medicare or Medicaid?
Do they know who pays for their streets, street signs, street lights, sidewalks, electrical infrastructure, water mains, drainage systems?
Do theyre know who pays their fire departments, police, Army, Navy, and Marines?
Do they know who pays for all the intelligence agencies that keep us safe?
Do they know who pays for the weapons, including nuclear ones that keep us a Superpower?
Do they know who pays for our wars and our police actions?
Why the hell should we keep pretending socialism isnt the only answer to every one of those questions? Fuck them!
