What is a Socialist? Seems no one who says they are a Socialist can even define the term. Most reasonable thinking humanoids laugh when the young Bernie Sanders followers have been asked basic questions concerning Sanders proposals.
“How is he going to make college free”? “I believe he’s taking taxes from…I cant remember…” one pubescent egg head responded.
Socialism “gives the power back to the people, ” another replied. (actually that’s the opposite of Socialism)
When asked if she thought Socialism would be good for America, a young female said, “Absolutely!” (With enthusiasm!)
But just who are these budding grownups who think Socialism is the greatest thing since free condoms? Why, they are none other than your children! If you are confounded how millions of college aged students could consider voting for a Socialist, you need to look no further than your own mirror!
You see, you are the parents who raised them to believe they could have everything they wanted without having to pay. You didn’t teach them we get things in life because we work for them. They begged, they pleaded, they conned you, they shamed you, and you gave in. You couldn’t let them do without. Their poor little ego might be bruised for life. You wanted them to have it better than you. Well, you accomplished your goal. They have the best clothes, the best cars, the best gadgets, have been educated in the best schools, and it cost them nothing.
They dine out while you eat a can of Sauerkraut. They have Armani, while you wear “Your Mommy’s.” They text on their iPhone, while you are pushing buttons on the Princess phone. You groomed them to be a Socialist and didn’t even realize it, until now.
So while you scoff at the future leaders of our Republic, look in the mirror. You will see Bernie Sanders in the reflection.
As always, your comments are welcome!
