Appeal to reason...

Socialism is wrong. It has been tried, and is proven to fail every time. It may last longer in some areas than others, but it is a broken and poorly thought out economic system. It leaves those who practice it in a worse state than they were before. It deprives the market of implementing its own laws of "natural selection". These selections lead people and companies to make a bigger, better output from the same or even less input. Those economic "natural" laws are deprived of creating a more efficient mode of production for just about everything when the government decides to manipulate the market their own way. In the past, distant and not so distant, we have seen the rise and horrific fall of many a nation who lived under the rule of socialism/communism. The people are impoverished beyond belief. Many starve, and die due to poor health care practices because the government decided it could run things better than the market itself. Perhaps, worst of all, socialism/communism takes away freedom from the people. We lose our ability to choose how to live our lives. The system is wrong for a reason, it is forced upon those who do not want it, and see it's evil, by a small group of people who see the power it can give to them over those very people who put them in a position of great trust and authority.
It is absolute power over people in a country, at least until they decide to rebel, which will corrupt absolutely. I do not see why there are many in this country wish to lose more of their freedom than has already been taken. I make an appeal to reason here. Open your eyes to the evils of socialism people! Adhere to that plain and precious prize of common sense. The light of freedom is being darkened by the shadow of an ever-growing federal government. Do not let it go out! I say "NO!" to totalitarian government. It is tyranny in its most essential state. May our freedoms never be taken; and if they are, I pray that God will grant us the courage and strength to take them back.
