"Free Stuff for All!"

That’s the message that comes from an outfit calling itself “Democratic Socialists of America.” They’re now calling for free college tuition for everybody who is too lazy to pay for it themselves. They didn’t put it that way, but that’s the way it is. It amuses me that they think “Democratic” and “socialism” actually go together. They do NOT. Socialism cannot exist in a democratic society. Socialism REQUIRES a “top-down” government, where unnamed bureaucrats make all the decisions, and run the lives of everybody. The very system is based on the THEFT of the fruits of production from those capable and willing to produce new wealth, for the benefit of those who just want to “ride the wagon” with others doing all the work of making it move. It NEEDS producers of new wealth, so there will BE something for the government to STEAL for the benefit of the “drones” of society. The very reason so many people buy the BS of socialism (under its many names) is because so many of them have been taught, from birth, that “the world owes them a living,” and they need to “share” what they have with others. They say free tuition will “stimulate the economy.” It will NOT. It will STAGNATE the economy, as more and more people just wait for the government to do what they should be doing for themselves, while leaving the real work to others. (Legal Insurrection)
