According to the American Heritage Dictionary, the word socialism means: “A social system in which the producers possess both political power and the means of producing and distributing goods.”

Can Ms. Avila think of a “producer” that possesses both “political power and the means of producing and distributing goods”? I can think of many wealthy (billionaires) republicans who come close to the definition. Do you think that Trump has political power (yep) and the means of producing and distributing goods (somewhat – if you visit his golf courses and hotels)?

It’s more than a little amusing that Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (AOC) calls herself a democratic socialist (maybe she’s stopped using that term). Does she have political power (maybe a little). Does she have the means of producing and distributing goods? Not in the slightest. She a person of very modest means, she is certainly not a producer of any goods nor of the means of distribution. (She was a waitress and a bartender before coming to congress, honorable jobs, but if you consider making and distributing a plate of scrambled eggs and toast or a beer to be “distributing goods” then the dictionary definition needs to be updated.)

So by the definition of the word, AOC and the other liberal members of congress, can’t be socialists. They can claim to be democrats (I hope that is all of us). But everyone should understand that using the term “socialist” to disparage suggests that the speaker knows what they are talking about, and in this case the speakers don’t.

Mine tripled under Obama, after getting cut 40% under Bush.

FCC, now why in the world would I want you to leave California……with all that extra money your 401K is earning you will have that much more of your paycheck to buy more stuff and pay taxes on it (and Californians sure will put your tax money to good use). Since I personally am not a socialist it would never cross my mind to pay you to do anything……you want it fella you work for it. Actually it is kind of refreshing that a Trumpster like you is actually upfront about loving what’s in their wallet more than the integrity, honor, and safety of this country……most just give those BS lines about needing the wall and how everything wrong in this country is Obama’s or Hillary’s fault and on and on and on….but not you FCC you say it like it is….just like Trump….it’s all about the Benjamin’s baby! You and Trump fit real good together….. bromance right?!

You poor soul, you think that Trump is running against Obama! Got news for you kiddo Obama isn’t running for office. How can you possibly even know about debunking anything when you think Obama is still President and Trump is running against him. lol Michele….you really drank a bad batch of the Kool Aid! 🙂

There are Americans who are fighting for you even if you don’t know it. You don’t have to worry, we will never lock you in cages nor will we build a wall around all the Trumpsters once everything is said and done. I for one would never condone such a thing but it is fair to say that if that ever did happen I might be kind of tempted to become as complacent as you Trumpsters are right now and look the other way.
