Bring on free healthcare for everyone. Bring on free education for everyone. Steal from the rich and give to the poor. Have the government take over and dictate to large employers. It's called a Utopian society and this is what a Utopian society looks like:

Not the Utopia I envision.
Yeah, I've lived in Europe where healthcare and education is subsidized, and it's quiet lovely and encouraging that you can see that the community is supporting the elderly and investing in their kids' future ... err, I mean 'hellish landscape' filled with progressive marxist socialist communists (ghoulish screaming).
According to the Register, a total of 2,500 Londoners have been arrested over the past five years for allegedly sending “offensive” messages via social media. In 2015, 857 people were detained, up 37 per cent increase since 2010.
Considering EVERY universal healthcare system in the world, literally dozens and dozens of countries, is dramatically cheaper than our system, how can you defend saying we should pay more and more to get less and less? There is no example on earth of a healthcare system like the Republicans want that isn't a third-world ****hole. Not one.
And people are arrested for simply saying something that someone finds offensive on Facebook or Twitter.
Arrests for offensive Facebook and Twitter posts soar in London
Here they just get infractions..........

None work worth a crap, and none service a nation of our size.

High taxes + govt health care + free education = Denmark, Finland, Sweden, Belgium, the Netherlands, etc. Not Venezuela.

Most of them are on much smaller scale than would be required for this country. European countries have much smaller populations.
It is the equivalent of a misdemeanor
We have similar laws in the US
There is no law in the US that gets someone arrested simply for saying something offensive on Facebook or Twitter. None.
Getting arrested for threatening to blow up an airport, or kill refugees, or slaughter a group of people?
Works for me. Sounds like they're a bit ahead of us.
Nor is there one in the UK
They have a law prohibiting such things, and don't have the same constitutional protections we do. In Germany, Nazi type paraphernalia is prohibited, I'm told. They also have government health care. No swastikas is a small price to pay for health care.
what's your point? I have Medicare and could fly a Nazi flag if I wanted, so health care doesn't mean no bill of rights for us old people... or poor, or vets. Or do you fear, say, that a Medicare for all bill will have Facebook and Twitter amendments to the constitution attached to it since we lefties love Europe so much?
