    The state legislature of Florida approved a non-binding resolution HR 145 condemning Democratic Socialism. Multiple members of Congress were endorsed in 2020 by the Democratic Socialists of America.

    HR 145's language is extremely clear in its' condemnation,

    "WHEREAS, in contrast to the foundational American values of individual liberty, private property, and constitutional democracy, democratic socialism is a political and economic theory of social organization which advocates the ownership or regulation of production, distribution, and exchange by the community as a whole, and

    WHEREAS, in many nations that have relied upon democratic socialism to improve the lives of their citizens, the result has been economic and social chaos, an extraordinarily low standard of living for the vast majority, and the absence of individual liberty for all, NOW, THEREFORE,

    Be it Resolved by the House of Representatives of the State of Florida: That democratic socialism is denounced in favor of the true American values of individual liberty, private property, and constitutional democracy."

    I doubt we'll see the socialist Bernie Sanders who had his honeymoon in the former Soviet Union with his commie buddies ever vacation in the state of Florida. But lo and behold we just saw the democrat socialist AOC go maskless down in Miami, and Eric Swalwell also go maskless in sunny Florida. Interesting to see those two leaving their crime ridden blue states to vacation in Florida--a state and Republican governor that they both so despise. Word is that nancy pelosi very shortly will be retiring in Florida.

    Pretty much, save for our military and one or two others than are embedded in our Constitution. I'll take Capitalism and private ownership any day over your cradle to grave government-run socialist programs. We need less mama's boys sucking off the govt teat, and more hard working people who seek the American dream for themselves and their families by striving to be the best they can without relying on getting freebie handouts.

    What private property exactly since real estate is owned by the state tax coffers along with your automobile and other annually taxed items you really do not own.

    MY property and or other taxed items like my auto aren't owned by the state. MY house title and auto title have my name on it, not that of the state. We all have a problem with being taxed on everything under the sky, but for heavens sake, don't get confused by thinking anyone but me owns my house and auto.

    Try not to paying the tax on real estate and see how long you keep it. Not paying the tax on your vehicle and you can't use it on public roads.

    Rather then waste my time explaining it to you, perhaps you could tell me/us how you come up with this incredible assertion that corporations are socialist?

    Ill be paying my taxes, so I'll remain the owner of both my house and home. I will say that it was a great thing having Trump as president as he reduced taxes across the board for most all Americans. Now, we have a bunch of radical socialists in our government that want to pass trillions of dollars to help support their left wing wish list, that will increase our taxes through the roof.

    Republicans:spend money then cut taxes so there's not enough money to pay for what was spent.

    Democrats:spend money then raise taxes so there's enough money to pay for what was spent.

    Democrats are more fiscally responsible than republicans.
