How Much Does Socialism Cost?
By Anna L. Stark

A favorable view of socialism is rising among certain demographic groups in the United States.  In a recent Gallup poll, 57% of Democrats surveyed said they now have a more favorable or positive view of socialism, compared to 16% their Republican counterparts.  Not surprisingly, 51% of people under the age of 30 view socialism favorably, while 45% of the same age group believe that capitalism is still a good idea.  It's important to note that those responding favorably to the idea of a socialist economic system don't necessarily advocate, nor do they endorse, the U.S. government nationalizing (that is, seizing ownership of) big corporations and small private businesses. They lean more toward the government providing basic needs, such as free health care, guaranteed employment, and "free" college education.

The cost of socialism is a very good question...and one that will never be discussed in liberal rags or CNN, MSLSD, Daily Kook, Huffington Pest, or Dummy Underground.
The cost is basically incalculable.   It's not just the many millions of ruined lives, deaths, wealth destroyed, etc.
It's an ongoing tragedy with many people still unable to grasp the obvious....socialism is the worst man-made disaster to ever befall the planet.

The cost of Socialism and all the other 'ism's that stem from it: is life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness.

In short - the cost is EVERYTHING.

Unless you manage to get yourself into the politburo and are part of the caste of elites.

Fart for freedom, fart for liberty and fart proudly.  - Benjamin Franklin

...Obsta principiis—Nip the shoots of arbitrary power in the bud, is the only maxim which can ever preserve the liberties of any people. When the people give way, their deceivers, betrayers and destroyers press upon them so fast that there is no resisting afterwards. The nature of the encroachment upon [the] American constitution is such, as to grow every day more and more encroaching. Like a cancer, it eats faster and faster every hour." - John Adams, February 6, 1775
