Today's standard: "Socialism is OK when it directly benefits me. I will
justify my suck on the government teat by pointing out that I was
forced, through taxation, to contribute to the government
during my working years and that because I am special I now deserve to
get my money back. Socialism in not OK when it benefits somebody else.
The only good Socialist is a dead socialist, but hands off the
socialist who signs the monthly check for my little piece of the
socialist security system, please."

Are you defining the acceptance of a social security check as 'socialism' now,
Chuck? Or is it 'socialism' when conservatives do it?

Is the acceptance of a social security check any different than the acceptance
of any other annuity check? Are 401k's or 403b's also 'socialist'?

What's the difference?
