We are paying for it, already.


Whether it's the loss of productivity, the lowering standards of enlightenment and personal growth, the lack of competitiveness against other countries in a global marketplace, the poorer health the less educated have on a whole, etc.


This is no different that every other system we have, whether the word 'socialism' is used as a negativism. Show me one industry that does not partake in community-based, commonwealth-based initiatives to one degree or another. The funny things is that most of the billionaires tap into these services more than the regular citizens do. Health care, it's socialism to put someone into a health plan, but then as employees or private insurers, we pay over $1,000 in extra costs, higher charges or incidentals in the hospital to cover the uninsured.


While the ploy to use 'socialism' as a negativism might seem worthy, it shows a need for you to take college level PoliSci courses.
