Socialism

[Valentina327]

Imagine a work party, everyone brings a dish to the potluck. 1, 2, maybe 3 people forget. Not a big deal, there's still enough food to go around right? everyone gets a little less, but there's enough to survive right because you have enough people who did their part and brought something.

Now imagine all of the employees from surrounding business show up bring nothing but help themselves to everyone else's dishes, you quickly run out of food.

this is what would happen with socialism + open borders.

BERNIE KNOWS THIS, HE SAID IT 5 YEARS AGO!!!

That is exactly what happens. The Canadian welfare system is very good, making Canada a wonderful place to live for free if you are coming from a country in destitute, dirt poverty. While I could not live on welfare, to people coming from say Syria or Somalia, on the Canadian welfare system they live better than they could dream to in their home countries.

While I support immigration, and I think to a point we have a moral and ethical responsibility to take in refugees, we need to put limits and better screening for those who wish to enter. On the domestic side, when a family with no income and five kids can get up to $3,000 per month in cash, plus another $1,000 to $2,000 in benefits, free healthcare and an entire bunch of other benefits, some just decide not to work. I actually don't blame them!

Who pays for all of this? Us tax payers. Canada is only slightly socialist where many working people pay over 50% of their earned incomes in various taxes. That is what a socialist orientated system causes.

We have the same system. People here are always bitching about paying for food stamps, paying for welfare, etc. No different. Canada just has more money because their military budget is a fraction of what the US is.

And a lot of those Syrians and others wouldn't have dreamed living in a snow covered country. They would still be in Syria if it was a peaceful place.

And our military budget has to be larger, because we're the big brother to the world and supplement others who don't have the appropriate power on their own to defend themselves.

Even if Bernie becomes president. Even if we have health care coverage for everyone. Even if college tuition becomes affordable. That doesn't mean socialism and that doesn't mean capitalism and property ownership will disappear. Ya'll need to pull that tin foil had off your heads and let your brains breath.
