Socialism

"When the people fear the government, there is tyranny.  When the

government fears the people, there is liberty."

~~ Thomas Jefferson

"Socialism in general has a record of failure so blatant that only an

intellectual could ignore or evade it."

~~Thomas Sowell

"Socialism is not a fancy term for hanging out with your friends. It's

government sanctioned theft. The government cannot produce anything. It

can only take from those who produce and give it to those who do not.

Once the government has consumed all of the producer's resources,

however, it will starve and collapse. Nobody wins. Socialism sounds

great on paper. Until you run out of other people's money!"
