Socialism's goal is equality; the equality of being impoverished.

Unless of course, you're in the govt; then you've got it made.

Gee, I can't seem to find any evidence that Milton Friedman ever said this. Second, I find this article about him as a colossal failure much more interesting than your pretty little poster: https://www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/2006/nov/16/post650

What is socialism?

Is the $2.2 trillion economic relief bill passed last Friday and signed by Trump (the "CARES Act") a socialist policy?

Stop it KF. You're a paid shill, right? You should have a disclaimer at the end of everything you post.

Indeed, that's what I said

Do you believe me?

Relief for the needy is different than leveling out everyone's economic situation, regardless of contribution to the nation.

The CARES Act includes relief for the needy but also relief for those who may not need it.

What about welfare payments for low-income folks (and food stamps, etc.): Is that "socialism"? It's relief for the needy.

You had just said it was a relief bill, now you're saying it's not.

Relax everyone, just shut up...sit down while the government installs full 5g surveillance, depletes the 401k system, switches to digital currency, and does a couple dozen gun grabs.
As you know, these things take time. With a little patience and teamwork we can be out of lockdown in as little as 6 more months.
Thank you for your cooperation
