Honey,socialism ISN'T quite the Big Bad Bear that they're telling kids it is!
It's simply the outrageous idea that the needs of the many workers outweigh the needs of the aristocrats who live like kings by taking an unfair share of their workers efforts.
Socialism isn't really "free stuff"-It's the idea that a certain amount of our money should go towards ensuring social stability.
Social Security is the result of "socialism"! And boy our Congressmen aren't shy about benefiting from socialism, which pays all of THEIR bills! They just condemn it for you & me!
