“Talk about Republican Socialist in action — – he shoves socialist concepts down our throats like giving the prison system to their cronies”

Based on such statements, it behooves us to look at the definition for Socialism:

“1. political system of communal ownership: a political theory or system in which the means of production and distribution are controlled by the people and operated according to equity and fairness rather than market principles
2. movement based on socialism: a political movement based on principles of socialism, typically advocating an end to private property and to the exploitation of workers
3. stage between capitalism and communism: in Marxist theory, the stage after the proletarian revolution when a society is changing from capitalism to communism, marked by pay distributed according to work done rather than need

Don Gaetz is the biggest.!! Soon he will assure his medical services company will be mal-practice free also. While he shoves socialist concepts down our throats like giving the prison system to their cronies. C'mon who is going to do it for nothing or less than Fla pays for the prisons now. Charging the poor on Medicaid for going to the emergency room for medical care, when the damn bus service doesn't routinely work well on weekends or late at night.
