Joe for your information I know what socialistic programs are, and we have a lot of them in this country. In my veiw that they are programs that you don't pay premiums into and is paid with tax money. I will agree that Medicare, Roads, SSI, Unemployment are government run and paid for from taxes. Now I payed premiums into a fund from every one of my paychecks and what I'm receiving is from that fund. Now please answer me why you think that is socialism if it is we both get a better dictionary. Now I answered your question you answer mine if you can!
