This not Europe...or some other country who has socialism government....I know his parents where from Europe so was my grandmother.We have been to Spain to see how their government works,we had a foreign Exchange student for whole year staying with us we learn the difference.
I truly don't think it will work here,or his ideas...just my opinion though...


Socialism is a socioeconomic philosophy which has failed everywhere it has been tried, yet for decades has been slowly and steadily creeping into American society. Many contemporary Americans, including some prominent and high-level politicians, hold socialist views and continually press for the implementation of socialist principals and programs in the United States. Socialism is bad for America because it results in large, intrusive and controlling government that diminishes the role and value of individual citizens; it is largely based on “false compassion” that promotes victimhood and big government solutions; and it offers a false hope of utopian brotherhood and equality, resulting in the loss of freedom and the rise of governmental tyranny.
