The clowns at FOX shovel LOTS of crap to the sheep, but the scare word SOCIALISM, is one of their favorites, always equating it with Venezuela or Cuba.

The truth is we have LOTS a socialism in our own country, incl Medicare and Social Security, which most of us old farts really like, plus the Post Office, interstate highways, airports etc, BUT, don’t try to tell this to the ignorant, gullible FOXSheep for whom this is just ONE of the Dog Whistles that fires up their their tiny brains. Good ‘Letter to the Editor’ in today’s Denver Post.

The recently-released World Happiness Report ranks happiness of populations of 156 countries, and as usual, Finland and Denmark were at the top of the list with Norway, Iceland, Netherlands, Switzerland, Sweden, New Zealand, Canada, and Austria filling out the top 10. The United States dropped to 18th on the list.

All of the top 10 countries have socialized health insurance, along with various combinations of socialized childcare, old age pensions, higher education while maintaining robust capitalist economies that provide high living standards. I don’t really think there’s much left to prove.
