Socialism is robbery by proxy. At least a highwayman has the guts to rob you in person and there's a chance the highwayman will have his head blown off for his troubles. A socialist is worse. He hides under the guise of do-gooder and perverts government to become the highwayman. For the citizen being robbed, it leaves few options.
Indeed. The socialist or communist uses the power of the whole government to be its highwayman. There is no bigger or better equipped government than the U.S. gov. One citizen alone doesn’t even amount to a flea on a dog’s back.
