Halloween - the day all Americans embrace socialism.

Everyone buys candy to share with people who ask. Do tea baggers just buy candy and give it to their own kids while the stay at home with the lights off?

1. *Snicker*

They probably stick their heads out the door and scream, "Go get a job, you bums!" As the kids come up with their cute little costumes and big, hopeful smiles.

Okay, not really. My mostly Republican family always puts out goodies. But should we really tell our kids 364 days of the year to never take candy from strangers, and then on Halloween, send them out begging for it?

2. Tea Baggers pretend they're not Republican, so on Halloween they take off THAT mask...

and show the world they really are Republicans.

3. I don't think so. Not everyone participates, just as not everyone celebrates

Christmas.

And, it doesn't fit the definitions of socialism, at least, not the way I read the definitions at this link http://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/socialism

5. My experience.

Each year after the local kids get candy they come to the community hall where I (and a few others) take the candy, separate it and give all the kids an equal amount...even those who didn't go out and try to get candy.

Last year some of the little punks starts complaining about how the kids who didn't work still got candy. We just told them it was for the common good and they said, "If they didn't work for candy, why should we work for candy if we'll still get it anyway?"

Hoping all works well this year, but it appears fewer kids are planning on going out to get candy this time around. (We'll give them some anyway)

6. Sounds like those kids have some growing to do

But they're just kids, so it's okay. But when adults still have that attitude, you have to wonder why a selfish kid is walking around in an adult body.
