Socialism is what they called public power.
Socialism is what they called social security.
Socialism is what they called the growth of free and independent labor organizations.
Socialism is their name for almost anything that helps all the people.

Why the rabid opposition to HB2632, which cuts $0?

“For those interested in data-informed decisions about the responsible use of tax revenue, there is no down side in HB 2632. For those who would like to operate with plenty of public dollars but no public scrutiny, the bill is a threat.”
