Too many people I have talked to aren’t opposed to communism because they are spoiled by rights. When I explain that with being taken care of takes away rights as in China, Russia, Cuba, they all express that it’s only that THOSE countries were stupid. America wouldn’t be so dumb and would make it work.

YES! You are absolutely right! These morons don't realize that rights aren't supposed to take care of people. The purpose of rights is to prevent government from butting in and oppressing you. Whenever you are taken care of by someone, that person has power over you. When the government takes care of us the way Democrats want, they end up abusing that power and begin to exploit and control them for their own advantage.

The greater the freedom, the greater the prosperity.

The greater the government, the greater the poverty.

Well, and when you are dependant on government for basic necessaties of life, you are reluctant to let that government go as they will like a typical abuser use that fear of failure or being neglected as a lure to keep them in power.

Just like many were reluctant to let Saddam go because it was a twisted version of Stockholm Syndrome and they were afraid of the big meany not providing for them. They were willing to accept the abuse to avoid the risk of failure of providing for themselves.
