Talked with a German cousin last night about how every citizen there gets full healthcare and free education through college or tech school. It’s just their normal. She said “ I don’t understand why people in America say ‘socialism’ like it’s an insult.”

government programs arent socialism
Replying to @marwilliamson
Because we are one of the most propagandized countries. We are taught from kindergarten that we are the best country and the most free society, but far from it!

Because they have spoon-fed nothing but capitalism their whole lives.

That's fine.. But in Germany everyone pays into the system. So no more 40% 50% paying no taxes..maybe take the German tax code too? Might be shocked

Thinking about more ..yes take the whole German system.. Everyone pays.. A lot more in taxes.. Fewer go to college/university only 21%. Trades are a big part.. College is to prep for workplace.. No gender studies.. Accounting.. Engineering.. Teaching.. No b.s. degrees

Indoctrination isn't limited to dictatorships. Too many Americans have been taught that socialism is something it ain't.

1st off, Germany is not a "socialist" country. Our mistake is subsidizing colleges and not subsidizing the students.

If you want things to change, Marianne, maybe consider doing something other than tweeting for a living.
