When someone complains about the health reform and rants on about "socialism" remind them that our police are paid for by the government, our teachers are paid for by the government, our roads are paid for by the government, ad nauseam.  A reply of, "oh, that's different" shows ignorance.  If the government pays for one thing it is socialism.  End of discussion. U.S. citizens want things done, but don't want to pay the required fees to get them~TAXES!!!
