Socialist Nonsense

The term socialist nonsense is an accusation made in a different post, but the real debate isn’t between capitalism and socialism, but about the appropriate balance between the two. I actually favor having a military, a police force, a fire department, social security, medicare, free and mandatory education to age 16, state universities. I freakin' love the:

- Small Business Administration, - National Science Foundation, - Federal Aviation Administration, - Federal Highway Administration, - Federal Transit Administration, - FCC, - Office of the Assistant Secretary for Research and Technology, - U.S. Department of Energy, - DARPA, - SBIRs, All of which are socialist constructs, all of which help us Americans. Our society could not function or would be much poorer without them. We balance between the two, and the ratios go back and forth depending on which party has more votes. On the other hand, I don't like social spending (government subsidies) for oil and other fossil fuels, and most of the special interest carve-outs in the federal taxation system (that’s socialism too). So we take the good with the bad. We all know the tax code is used to promote or encourage social programs. Otherwise, why would the tax code give a discount to you based on how many children you have? We need children, so we childless taxpayers pay you to have them. And after you have them and they move out, we take the discount away, thank you very much. An example of a social good subsidized by all who will benefit. Socialist nonsense... I don't consider myself a socialist, but you can accurately call me an antifa libtard.
