Socialism In America

Editor, Times-Union:
There are many prognosticators who believe America is one vote away from becoming a Socialist Communist nation and November 6th is it.
Now, I'm not bright enough to answer that question. But I know our children have been subjected to a left-leaning philosophy in the upper grades and universities for the past three or so generations. Folks under age 50 don't understand or support the capitalistic society upon which this nation was founded. Our young do not understand there is no free lunch. One has to work for a living.
The result of all of this is an opening for socialists who have been trying to change America for decades. Socialism, of course, means Communism whether you believe that or not.
I worry that the policies upon which Karmala Harris hangs her hat are pure and simple Socialistic. They smack of the kind of government that has brought ruin to places like Venezuela.
You don't have to take my word for it. Just study the true facts. That's difficult enough these days with Russia, China and others flooding social media and news avenues with false information. Tell a falsehood often enough and folks begin to believe it.
They always say "this is an important election.”
This time, maybe it really is.
