Economics #1

First of all, Socialism is when the government owns everything. Our founding fathers did not intend for the government to be run like a business, where the president made all of the executive decisions. He states that socialism is a democracy. That is false. Socialism is a means to control the population and appeal to the majority. It is also a progression into communism. Another problem with his statement is that all religions point to socialism. This is not true. Monotheistic religions point to monarchy. The old testament has Israel being lead by a king or a prophet. This is how governments should be. However, the regions of the world make it imperative to stamp out laziness and provide for yourself and those in need.This video was very short so there wasn't very many points to argue over. Overall though, the only argument that should be made is that he is wrong and needs to be shown the true meanings to socialism and religion.
