You use "socialism" a lot, and I thought I knew what it was. I don't see the dreaded "socialism" here, frankly.

I see the government of a democracy funnelling money from taxes back into it's campaign contributors. Sort of like tariffs, only more direct. Same principle.

Now campaign contributions are "free speech", and not to be impeded according to some folks. Part of "democracy". Remember cussing McCain? The Senator from Arizona would try to limit those contributions, but there are those who jealously guard their "free speech".

And there's a tit-for-tat, of course. You can speak freely, and I can give you money. The American way.

The money is going to private corporations, not a government held or run organization. The money can be used for dividends and executive stock options. No problem.

What's the "socialism"?
