Trump to Ocasio-Cortez: 'America will never be a socialist country'

President Trump declared in his State of the Union speech that America will "never be a socialist country," a clear rebuke of a new generation of Democrats and socialists like Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, D-N.Y.

“Here, in the United States, we are alarmed by new calls to adopt socialism in our country,” Trump told Congress Tuesday night. “We are born free, and we will stay free. Tonight, we renew our resolve that America will never be a socialist country.”

That warning came minutes after Trump brought Ocasio-Cortez — one of the most prominent young proponents of socialism to take office this year — and other Democratic women in the chamber to their feet by noting the record number of female lawmakers serving in Congress this year. But he turned promptly to a rebuke of the insurgent ideologues, who have gained influence in the party since self-described socialist Sen. Bernie Sanders mounted a stiff challenge for the Democratic residential nomination in 2016.

Republicans who are against socialism should submit bills to end subsidizing farmers. $4 billion in sugar subsidies for around 4,500 farmers is criminal especially for a resource that is being injected into foods at levels causing obesity and thus a strain on our healthcare industry. Just one example of truly ridding America of socialism. Perhaps too we stop paying into medicaid, social security and just keep our hard earned money earned by pulling ourselves up by our boot straps.
