Dem Socialism: all pay for safety net - GOP Socialism: all pay for rich getting richer

GOP Socialism means pennies for the little guy so the corporate shareholders pay less while getting more and the local taxpayers foot the bill for Dotard's ego fests and golf outings.

watching reverse learning in process, and this time it's Sanders, not Limbaugh or any of that crowd.

No, just a real-life lesson in how politics got such a terrible reputation.
