Also, I think plenty of things there MUST effect you, No roads wouldn't effect you? or bridges? the justice system? sewage treatment? having internet available? the postal service?
And you just admitted you are for socialism when it is something YOU stand for, like police or the military...but not when you are not directly effected or interested? That's not an opposition to socialism, that is selfishness...you like socialism if you agree with funding the military, you like it if you agree with education, you like it if it funds the police or fire services, or if it gives you roads to drive on, sidewalks, the internet, etc. You can't pick and choose what you like and claim it isn't socialism, it IS socialism and your definition is incorrect.

cool lets argue semantics
i know socialism as the government basically owning everything including your earnings, and redistributing wealth amongst everyone. people who make more, get more taken, people who make less get more given
thats nonsense.
i'm all for roads and bridges. i use those. and guess what. my tax money goes towards paying that. as well as the police, fire fighters, teachers, military and everything else.
i already feel i pay too much. the roads are shit. i live in ohio. by the time they are patched efficiently its winter again and the cycle renews.
when a candidate is deemed socialist in america it basically means they want to tax people who are more fortunate to help those less fortunate.
thats nonsense.
and people always try and say shit, like uhoh you are someone who would benefit from these programs, but i've never benefitted from shit, i've never received any form of help from the government, and i don't wish too. unless you count my dogshit education or the fact i use public roads. got me! socialism!
