Yo, read and learn, ENJOY!!! Yes, this is what your "Socialist Democrat Party" is headed!!!
Brutal Truth About “Democratic-Socialism” and “Free” Stuff
By Steve Straub
Sierra Marlee via The Examiner reports what life in socialist Europe is really like:
Americans are talking about the pros and cons of a Socialist society fueled by the extreme economic views of many Democratic Presidential candidates. Very few people, however, have actually lived under the system they are advocating for or against. So what does someone who has the experience of living under Socialism think?
Robert Moon wrote an article for The Examiner in which he goes into excruciating detail of life under the Socialism that so many Americans idolize.
After spending years living in socialist Germany and exploring all over Europe, what is striking is that, even in one of the wealthiest non-U.S. places on Earth, it is all about learning to do without.
Let’s examine the facts:
There is a crushing 20% sales tax on everything. There is also a TV tax, a radio tax, a dog tax, a death tax of up to 50%, and every other kind of tax you could possibly imagine…for a grand total of about 60-65% of your income (unless you have already been brutalized into poverty by this system, in which case you get welfare).
“Government’s view of the economy could be summed up in a few short phrases: If it moves, tax it. If it keeps moving, regulate it. And if it stops moving, subsidize it.” –Ronald Reagan
-There is no such thing as Central Air…people just suffer through the heat, and freeze in the Winter with these dinky little radiator-heaters (which is all most people can afford, due to staggering government utility costs).
-Gasoline is usually $7-10 per gallon (about 1.50 Euros per liter as I write this), due to the government’s insanely aggressive taxes on fuel.
