1. Social Security is something I paid into for many years and is not even close to socialism.

2. I find it interesting that you admit "I will be honest. I haven't looked that hard to find out why either." [B]YET, you badmouth an entire political party who just might KNOW what it is and are opposed The Pros of Socialism

Pros of Socialism:
Economic Equality - In the field of economic equality, public housing, social security, food stamps and minimum wage are considered as the excellent ways to easily reduce poverty.

Socialism attempts to instill economic equality. This is done by offering social security, public housing programs ensure that homes remain affordable and that there are enough homes to house every citizen of the country, food stamps are issued for those living in poverty so they get fed and survive without the helplessness of not having even the basic resources, and minimum wages are determined so no one is exploited to an extent that one doesn’t get to live a dignified life

Thank you listing the pros and cons of Socialism. I think that you might want to pull back your comment on social security, since it is listed in pros from two different sources.

The Republicans might not know what is also, as evidenced by your comment on social security. My I offer a suggestion don't start very post with an attack on someone of an opposing party, because your own words can and will be used against you.
