As many of the lovely people before me have said, I am not a socialist, Marxist, communist, or any of the other idiotic names the right calls us. I don't want to live in a collective, although there are people who choose to live with extended families. I am the first in my family to go to college thanks to school loans (although thanks to the Re pubs, I have a lot to pay back). I have lived independently, until I developed a health problem that prevents me from working. Thank God and the Dems that I can receive social security disability, food stamps, and Medicaid. Otherwise, I would be dead. I don't think my family and friends would like that. After years of working at a rather upper poverty level, my SSI isn't that much. Why are the poor, sick, disabled, children, and Vets always the ones they look to first when cuts need to be made? Also maybe you could have made your question jmore coherant. And I am curious about the answer that you "know." It might be kind of interesting.
