Not at all. That's why I gave my perspective---and asked for the reason why you voted the way you did.My parents and I must have socialism all wrong as we both bought our children starter cars so they (me) could drive straight to work. I guess one of them quitting their job to chauffeur me to work instead of spoiling me with a $400.00 1979 Ford Fairmont was a better choice. I guess I should of just turned them down, stayed home and lived off them…but wouldn’t that be socialism? I’m confused…
Your parents and everyone else on here that bought a beater has a really good reason to do so from the entries so far. There was a contract [not written down obviously] between you and your parents---you weren't given a car just to have one. You were given one so you could get to a job which makes perfect sense.
If you had immediately quit work or refused to find a job just to have fun would you have still gotten or been able to keep the car?
Socialism is the impossible dream. "Equality" across the board even though people have totally different abilities and motivations to do their part. But the dream is "so important" that those in charge are willing to take from those that have [steal what isn't theirs] in order to produce "equality". Note that Socialist countries, operate just like our Congress, the rules those in power make never seem to apply to them.
