I see what you are saying.........

Hmmm... Prepay insurance premiums for 4+ decades -> expect promised insurance benefits after that. What makes that socialism?

FICA: Federal Insurance Contributions Act

I'll add that this is yet another example of the right hanging on their boogey woman's every word.
People PAY INTO SS, and Medicare. Let me keep, and invest that money.

You obviously don't know what socialism means, and neither does Hillary. She proves how stupid she is every time she speaks. That being said, she just telegraphed the Democrat Party is a totalitarian scam, nothing more.

Don't care. If you don't like socialism, don't drive on public roads, drink water from the public pipes, use a public hospital, etc.

You guys sure are obsessed with Hillary lately. Creepy.

Hillary was probably right. The far left has seized control of the Democratic Party, and that fact likely did hurt the Clinton campaign with the party base. I think we all realize that democrats of the past like Bill Clinton, Jimmy Carter, JFK, Truman etc. would not have a chance of winning a modern democratic primary. The socialist, politically correct Antifa, black lives matter modern young democratic crowd demand socialism and social leftism. Democratic presidents of past decades would be seen as way too conservative. I would agree that 41 percent of the Democratic Party members today are indeed socialist. Hillary must have gotten that number from a campaign poll of some type. It very well may be accurate.

None, so long as one is willing to ignore the poverty, immorality and body count that is inherent to it.

Public works paid for by people's taxes isn't socialism. Ever take an economics course? Obviously not.

Are we not free to comment on Hillary's stupidity that she releases to the media almost daily. Guess you like censorship of the opinions you don't like. She continues to blame everyone, and everything for her loss. Now she is blaming the Democrats for being SOCIALISTS!

Blaming others will do nothing to mitigate the damage she is doing.

You also have to ignore one's own support of it. I've pointed that out over and over here.

Q.E. = Socialism

Bail outs = Socialism

Most who condemn Socialism fully support this aspect of it.
