Seriously.... Why are Americans so Anti-Socialised? Reading on this forum I am speechless.

They hate government restriction, hate labor law protecting workers, and so pro corporates. Are people brainwashed or whats going on?

Take a look at Germany as an example... Socialized nation with lower unemployment rate than us, higher quality of life, much less or no poverty, and largest economy in Europe. They have 82 million people, still a lot.

We fought for our independance to get away from garbage. There's a reason why we're the most productive nation in the world. There's a reason why we're the wealthiest nation in the world. We can take trillion dollar hits and no one bats an eye except the paranoid. How many socialised nations can do that?

Were there any real labor laws in 1776? I am pretty sure England was working children too at that time.

I get it. Chenika is trying to pretend America's rejection of socialism is based on irrational emotion ("hate"), rather than the real source, a coldly realistic appreciation of the tremendous harm it has done to nearly every country that's ever tried it.

If he can pretend it's all emotional, then he never has to face the truth about it.

Seeing that Socialism wasn't even really around until the 19th Century, I really don't think that was a driving force with independence in the 18th Century.

Because it "sounds scary" and Glenn Beck said we're not suppose to like it.
