When the majority of a nation's citizenry votes for candidates who promise the most government benefits, while requiring the least individual responsibility, then that country becomes a socialist nation. Socialists will win every election if the majority vote is based on receiving government handouts.

Socialism is defined as government ownership or control of the major means of finance, production, distribution, transportation and education. It's also called "spreading the wealth."

This nation is on a steep, slippery slope toward socialism. Citizens, please wake up and get informed. Vote for freedom, individual responsibility, opportunity and prosperity for all who try. A rising tide raises all boats. Please, do your part by voting honestly and responsibly.
