Is socialism free or just a vote-seeking ploy? Will our children, grandchildren and great-grandchildren be paying for the debilitating, demeaning benevolence that is destroying many cities as we speak?

Able-bodied adults get no sense of pride and accomplishment from collecting welfare. Bob Woodson, Ben Carson, Shelby Steele and other men and women succeeded without socialism. Benevolence is frequently faulted for destroying two-parent families of recipients. Equal opportunity for education and to work and live anywhere defines a true democratic nation.

The Nazi Partys official name was the National Socialist German Workers Party. Its regime in Germany caused much death. For nearly a century, the Union of Soviet Socialist Republics killed millions of its citizens due to civil war, starvation, gulags and torture. Its legacy continues under Russian President Vladimir Putin. Communist China started with civil war and starvation followed by a 70-year dictatorship resulting in the deaths of millions. Communist/socialist failures are numerous, with many escapees seeking liberty and safety by immigrating to the U.S. and elsewhere.

Our utopia depends on the politicians making spending decisions essential for our survival in a dangerous world of competing communist, socialist dictators with their arsenals. Will foreign policy impact voting, or will we vote based on identity?

The nations recovery from urban destruction requires eliminating unions for teachers and police. Corrupt unions support incompetence in these essential services. Superior policing and education are our best hope of containing our enemies socialist subversion and infiltration of our cities services and politics.
