Not using any social programs so not a socialist.

The VA provides socialized healthcare. I’m from a family of veterans and I can tell you firsthand that the socialized healthcare the VA provides is eons better than dealing with predatory insurance companies.

You earn the VA Healthcare benefit. It isn’t given to anyone. You serve then you qualify.

Sure but most of the working class earn their benefits from hard work yet they can’t access those benefits because of predatory insurance companies. I’ve seen the stark contrast as I have taken care of aging family. The point is socialized healthcare is much better and the VA provides that for now.

do you have a business that is incorporated? You enjoy socialist policies favorable to business.

Earned benefits from military service. I only live off my earned benefits.
