Is the fear of socialism a fear that the government is going to take your money? Over half of your federal taxes go toward war. Billions of dollars for a bomber, but don't you dare give a dollar towards food for another poor person.

People would rather vote for war than healthcare.

I don't get it.

I have healthcare already without flipping the entire industry on it's head, almost certainly making it much less efficient, and spending a lot more in taxes than I do for premiums. Total military dominance by the United States is needed, and there's only one way to get it.

I know that it is a very significant advantage that we could fight a conventional war with just a couple of our aircraft carriers and win against most countries. Do you see this as something other than an advantage?
