It is a mental illness. We have people dying to get here from Socialist Cuba. People coming in droves from Mexico. People coming here from Canada to obtain needed healthcare. People leaving Europe and Asia for a chance of prosperity here in the US. etc., etc., etc. .....and they want all that changed. Instead of conforming to and adopting a proven model of success and excellence (Free market Capitalism), they want to bring us all down to their level.
Socialism isn't about pulling people up and out of despair; it's about making everyone else suffer the same fate.
