This 73-year-old is proof that socialism works!

[Elwood P Dowd]

He was born in a socialist government-run hospital and has enjoyed free socialized health care his entire life.

At age 18, he was given a free college education with all expenses paid by the socialist national government through a socialist government-run elite university.

After graduation from the socialist government university, the socialist government for 23 years until his retirement employed him.

His socialist government retirement income afforded him a comfortable middle class lifestyle that was made even better with an extra socialist government disability check and free socialist government-run healthcare for life.

Retirement was boring for Mr. Socialism, so he embarked on a second socialist government career - a six-figure job making speeches, telling lies, spending money, and rubbing elbows with the rich an famous. For the next 27 years, he enjoyed the good life of a true socialist with 4 socialist government checks and more free socialist government healthcare.

This is living proof that socialism works. Just ask John McCain.

3. It's different though for him: he's a Republican and it doesn't apply to him.

Besides, he pulled himself up with his socialist bootstraps.

7. Yep, all republican politicians are $ocialists and benefit from $ocialism.

They just don't want you and me to benefit from $ocialism. As George Carlin said, "It's a big club, and you ain't in it".
