One thing that is funny about some conservatives who claim to hate socialism, they all support the military and the police and the firefighters, and they all support the defense corporations, etc, they all support socialist programs.
One old Republican I know worked for the government his whole life, and he claims to hate socialism. I told him that we cannot all work for the government, there has to be people who generate money to pay for the government, and he told me that yes we could all work for the government. And he claims to be a Republican.
Guys like me making movies and writing books and paying taxes is what pays for the government. Henry Ford exporting cars to Europe helped to pay for our government.
Sucking on the government tit, while claiming to hate socialism, is total hypocrisy.
And the government jobs made him a millionaire, and he has great health insurance for his whole family, and Corvettes, and a beautiful house with a swimming pool.
I am not perfect, and I have never been successful nor wealthy yet, my book has not been published yet, and my movie still needs to be made, but I do not go around kicking people when they are down, and I support fair pay and good treatment for workers, and I support helping the homeless, and I support feeding people who are hungry.
Yes, I support our military too, and police and firefighters and paramedics, and I support our defense companies and I know that we must have the best technology and best military in the world. And I support NASA. But, I never claimed to hate socialist programs.
And I support social programs such as the city of Anaheim owning the electric company and using some of the money from the bill payments of Disneyland and others to help the homeless, etc.
I believe that we are one big human family and that we all need to work together to help each other like the Bible says.
Salute,
