We’re Socialist too!

FFF.org points out a very illuminating difference between the US and Cuba:

Every Cuban fully understands that such things as public schooling, national health care, social security, welfare, income taxation, and coercive redistribution of wealth are socialism. Castro and his minions have long been honest, direct, and forthright in proudly telling Cubans that these programs are the heart of Cuba’s socialist economic system.

Yet here in the United States, nearly every federal, state, and local government official, especially public schoolteachers all across the land, proudly (and incorrectly) teaches Americans that the same programs here in the United States are “free enterprise.”

Ha. Good stuff.
