A Little Politics For You - Updated

A couple days ago my front doorbell rang. I opened the door to find a semi-attractive college girl standing on my front step.

(CG=College Girl, not Call Girl you sickos.)

CG: Hi, I’m from the Citizen Action of Wisconsin. That’s a cute dog you have there.

Me: Thank you. Name’s Killer.

CG: As you probably already know the cost of health insurance premiums and deductibles are skyrocketing from year to year. We’re asking you to sign a petition for affordable health insurance premiums so everyone can get health insurance for the same price that our legislators do.

Me: Everyone?

CG: Yes.

Me: Don’t the legislators work for a living to get those benefits?

CG: (silence)

Me: Yeah, no thank you. Sounds like that would end up costing me more money.

CG takes the clipboard back and turns to leave.

Me: Let me guess, you voted for the socialist like everyone else, right?

She turned and looked back at me with a baffled expression. I don’t think she knew what socialism is.

Update in response to a couple comments I received.

Straight from Wikipedia: Socialism refers to a broad set of economic theories of social organization advocating public or state ownership and administration of the means of production and distribution of goods, and a society characterized by equality for all individuals, with a fair or egalitarian method of compensation.

"Equality for all individuals?" Wouldn't that be like affordable health care for all? And all the money sent out in the bailout package? You don't think the government now has a stake in these companies? Wake up people.
