Don't vote for socialism

I hope a lot of people vote. But I also hope they know for what they are voting.

In reading letters, columns, articles and listening to TV commentators, it seems that many intend to vote for socialism. Too many think the federal government should provide all kinds of entitlements. For example, many want socialized medicine. There are those who think the government should be more involved in our children's education. Another bad idea. Many want government interference in climate control, energy production, auto manufacturing. The list goes on. Hillary Clinton has a goal to limit "talk radio." The other major Democratic candidates have the same kind of ideas in their heads.
