I know this has been driven home before, but the idea that socialism is just spending other's money is absurd.
Overhere, there was a proposal that you get a device in your car that registers where you drive. Then charges you by kilometer and type of road, instead of the fixed tax. The howl of protest was deafening and everybody suddenly was in favor of taxes.
Sure, but socialism has little to do with taxes directly. That's my point.
