One of my favorite economic talking points is that of socialism. I find it interesting to hear other people’s thoughts and opinions on it. In doing so over the years, I’ve come to hear several variations of it and how socialism works. In one of my newest talks with a believer in socialism, I am told I don’t understand socialism. I am told that I am just a puppet of the media and am regurgitating what was told to me. That’s a fair point and I’m willing to admit it is possible, so I asked for clarification. Needless to say, this person never said the quiet part out loud, but they got close… let’s talk about it.
