Do people realize that the Democratic party platform is Socialist?

[eraser]

Socialism refers to the goal of a socio-economic system in which property and the distribution of wealth are subject to control by the community.[1] This control may be either direct—exercised through popular collectives such as workers' councils—or indirect—exercised on behalf of the people by the state. As an economic system, socialism is often characterized by state, worker, or community ownership of the means of production, goals which have been attributed to, and claimed by, a number of political parties and governments throughout history.

Is this what people in America really want?

“Socialism is a philosophy of failure, the creed of ignorance, and the gospel of envy, its inherent virtue is the equal sharing of misery."
Winston Churchill

Taxes are not socialism, so please the Democrats are not after your property or your personal wealth. Get over yourselves.

[Ericson578]

The ignorant masses seem happy to send us that way.

In a democracy we get the government that we deserve

[Think 1st]

Only some who are uninformed believe that.

Voodoo economics, or supply side economics if you prefer, is a means of redistribution of wealth, upwards to the already wealthy.

I like this Churchill quote more:

"The power of the Executive to cast a man into prison without formulating any charge known to the law, and particularly to deny him the judgment of his peers, is in the highest degree odious and is the foundation of all totalitarian government whether Nazi or Communist."
Sir Winston Churchill
