The Trouble Is With Socialism, Which Resembles A Form Of Mental Illness More Than It Does A Philosophy. Socialists Get Bees In Their Bonnets. And Because They Chronically Lack Any Critical Faculty To Examine And Evaluate Their Ideas, And Because They Are Pathologically Unwilling To Consider The Opinions Of Others, And Most Of All, Because Socialism Is A Mindset That Regards The Individual And His Rights As Insignificant, Compared To Whatever The Socialist Believes The Group Needs, Terrible, Terrible Things Happen When Socialists Acquire Power.

To Politicians, Solved Problems Represent A Dire Threat - Of Unemployment And Poverty. That's Why No Problem Ever Tackled By The Government Has Ever Been Solved.

And That's Saying A Lot.
