Your Economy (No Politics)

Socialism is all about big government controlling more and more of our lives. The socialist government claims they are representing the working class but in reality it is much more about politicians and bureaucrats empowering themselves while redistributing wealth through entitlements and taxation.
Obamacare is a great example of the socialization of health insurance. When Obamacare became law, I lost my private insurance plan I was happy with to a government controlled plan that initially cost more than double and continued to get much more expensive every year. It was also a crappier plan with larger deductibles and yes, I had to find a new doctor too.

As for Social Security, I said many times over the years that I would opt out of it if I could and do my own retirement plan. For many years I had to pay 15% of my income into SS as I was self employed. I was never given that option to opt out as it was mandated by the government. Same goes with Medicare.

I'm all for taking care of our Veterans but for too many years that was another poorly run and wasteful government program.

This multi- trillion dollar democratic reconciliation bill is nothing but socialism on steroids. It is not what most people want and we can simply not afford it.
