I said so in a post on Facebook. Everyone cried Socialism. So I always throw Socialism back at them:

Give up your Social Security
Give up your Medicare
Stop driving on the interstate
Don't call 911
Don't watch an over the air TV channel
Don't listen to the Radio

Give up your socialism right now!!
