Socialism - "It's for the Seniors!"
« on: February 08, 2019, 12:13:14 PM »
Oregon Democrat explaining socialism. I guess in the way gun bans are "For the children!", socialism is "For the seniors!"

Except I think seniors are historically probably one of the groups hardest hit in all the failed socialism experiments. Especially since socialism always bans guns, so they don't have a way to defend themselves from the 200lb bully in the inevitable bread line.

Socialized medicine did start for seniors (medicare).  Social security is a socialized pension scheme.

And in socialist nations, even Great Britain, seniors end up with poorer care if they are deemed by the system “ready to go” or “have run their course”.

No thank you.
For the invisible things of him since the creation of the world are clearly seen, being perceived through the things that are made, even his everlasting power and divinity, that they may be without excuse. Because knowing God, they didn’t glorify him as God, and didn’t give thanks, but became vain in their reasoning, and their senseless heart was darkened. Professing themselves to be wise, they became fools.

Speaking of Socialist nations, how about that Sweden?

Or, as I just learned, a free-market nation.  Who knew?  Here's the John Stossel video I just watched where I learned that.  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0lxD-gikpMs
