I would like some Democrat, aka, Socialist, to explain to me why, if socialism is such a great idea, you have to wall people in for it to work? I mean, I always hear about how if we just adapted socialism everyone would be better off. How government would take care of the poor and the needy, provide us all with “fair” housing and food and medicine. But anytime socialist get control of government, one of the first things they have to do is put up walls to keep people fleeing their wonderful utopia.<br> <br> Let me approach this another way, if socialism is so wonderful, why do you have to change the meaning of the constitution in order to implement it in this country? I mean, there is nothing in the constitution that prohibits a state from being a socialist state. As long as a State doesn’t violate the constitution, it is free to organize itself any way it wants, and that includes being a socialist state.<br> <br> Our forefathers understood that one size does not fit all, that one absolute form of government was always going to be doomed to failure, whether it was a socialist government, a democracy, a totalitarian regime or a monarchy, that sooner or later, any single form of government would stagnate and fail.<br> <br> So what they came up with, in their infinite wisdom, was a system whereby governments (States) could compete, without resorting to force of arms. Thus the United STATES of America was born. And how our country should operate is right there in the name, a Unity of States. States that agreed to basic set of rules (the constitution) and to support a federal government that was charged with provided the States with a common defense and would handle treaty and trade as a single entity with other countries. But other than the powers expressly given to the federal government by the States agreeing to participate, all other powers were suppose to be left to the State. <br> <br> It was suppose to be up to the States to decide what form of government they wanted to have as long as they worked within the framework of the constitution. If a State wants to be socialist, there is nothing in the constitution that prohibits it. So, that brings us back to the original question, why the walls? All you have to do is look at the more socialist states in this country to find they answer, because without the walls, when socialism gets too burdensome on it’s citizens, and it always does, if they can, the citizens will flee. <br> <br> So please, tell me, what is so wonderful about a system of government that can only survive by building walls to keep people in?
