Editor:
Obama’s “hope and change” were socialist policies – and those policies failed and have weakened our nation in the last eight years.
If Sanders or Clinton is elected, it will mean more of the same. Socialists believe economic inequality is bad for society, and the government is responsible for reducing that inequality via programs that benefit the poor – on the surface it looks good, very tempting.
But history has shown socialism does not work. People from socialist countries try to come to America. Why? Because of capitalism – the land of opportunity. So we must remain vigilant and fight against socialism.
We must not allow the Democrats to take the hard-earned money of a taxpayer and redistribute it to the freeloaders for the common good of the society.
Parents need to explain to their voting age children why we can not allow socialism to take hold in the USA. Explain to them your vision for America.
That vision does not include government control over our life. We do not want to be dependent on the government!
We want freedom, we need to be self reliant. Choose freedom: Vote Republican.
