'Socialism makes people worse'

Dennis Prager strips away the obfuscating rhetoric and exposes the foundation ...

Enough generations of socialist policies have now passed for us to judge their effects. They are bleak. Socialism undermines the character of a nation and of its citizens. In simpler words, socialism makes people worse.

Socialism teaches its citizens to expect everything, even if they contribute nothing.

Socialism teaches its citizens that they have a plethora of rights and few corresponding obligations -- except to be taxed.

And that is why the citizens of less socialist -- and more religious -- America give more charity per capita and per income than do citizens of socialist countries. That is why Americans volunteer time for the needy so much more than citizens of socialist countries do. That is why citizens of conservative states in America give more charity than citizens of liberal states do. The more Left one identifies oneself on the political spectrum, the more that person is likely to believe that the state, not fellow citizens, should take care of the poor and the needy.

Socialism is the ultimate fantasy of a spoiled child. Feed me! Clothe me! Shelter me! Gimme a pony and never fuss when I ride it through the house and let it sh*t all over the floor!

Everytime I get an email from somewhere outside the US aghast that people actually have to make an effort to pay for health insurance I realize that the philosophy of Spoiled Children Rule has truly convinced some people that there is a free lunch.

The rest of us must stop allowing them to continue to fake reality.
