So, if the states take the funds, is that Socialism?
The use of any state funds to pay for the public good is a form of socialism, yes. We have a hybrid socialist/capitalistic state - that is the superior form of government.
Hmmmm...whoda thunk that TN was such a Socialist state? I bet the Tea Baggers won't have their convention there NEXT year. That would be hypocritical of them. Sorta like fighting against government run healthcare, all the while taking advantage of MediCare and MedicAid. Oh wait....
And all the while you seem to neglect the itty bitty fact that although they are against certain initiatives, they are forced to pay for it, so why is there an issue of hypocrisy when they take advantage of something they are forced to pay for?
For example. If Joe Blow did not want to pay for health insurance and now the law makes him pay for it, is he a hypocrite for making a claim if he had an injury?
You (thoeretically) may be angry that your electricity rates went up, but are you a hypocrite for paying the bill and using electricity?
Sorry VaYank. Yours is nothing but a post trying to make fun of something that, in fact, has absolutely no humor to it.
