    This would backfire drastically for republicans…

    Pretty sure the US military is the biggest socialist organization on the planet.

    I know it’s what made me progressive.

      Yeah, it’s going to be really hard to call anything a “handout” if you’re forced to give the government your labor.

        I mean, what you’re describing FDRs “New Deal” something modern progressives are tying to bring back but republicans and “moderates” won’t let happen…

        Our infrastructure is crumbling because after FDR built it from the New Deal, we just stopped doing all that scary socialism.
