7. most ignore those benefits, its the direct dollar subsidies that fly "under the radar" these ardent

anti-socialist tend to ignore, I had this same blow up a few years back at a Xmas dinner with several of my right wing nieces and nephews who thought their bullshit was going to fly when they made remarks like "We pay our own way". "we never take govt handouts:, and that typical bilge. Then I carefully wnet one by one to all of them:

- did you get a pell grant? Yep, are you going to pay it back? Blank stares.
- have you claimed EIC? YEp, are you going to pay it back? Blank stares.
- have gotten a Farm Bill subsidy? Yep, are you going to pay it back? Blank stares.

My sister who is a trumper thru and thru started to chime in that they "earned" these benefits? Like wtf. What part of socialism is baffling to you? I then suggest our mother's estate should pay back the $300,000 care she received from Medicare and then all hell broke loose.
