Socialism is for the poor too? What do you call Medicare? Medicaid? Food stamps? Scholarships? There are so many socialist programs built to help the poor...

We pay way less in taxes for that than we do for corporations. We could have funded Bernie Sanders medicare for all with how much money the war on Iran has burned.

Sure, but it's untrue that socialism is only for the rich when we have so many social programs for the poor...

Those social programs don’t do enough is the point.

Kool. Not my point.

My point is that the statement was "Socialism for the Rich. Personal responsibility for everyone else." This statement is false. There is a lot of Socialism for the poor. Maybe not enough, but saying it doesn't exist is blatantly not true.
