Leftists want to build a Utopia. One where everything is 'Fair', whatever that means to them. Everyone makes the same, and all have housing, food, medical care, etc. A benevolent National Government doles out everything and we all live happily ever after. Unfortunately, it NEVER works out that way. It can work for a few years and then it crashes. Why? Human Nature. The mistake so many Leftists make, likely because they weren't taught it in the propaganda mills we call Education, is that Socialism pretty much always fails. Look at the Soviet Union, which was already in trouble by the time Stalin died. For a more recent example, look to Venezuela. It was a wealthy Nation at one time, rich in oil resources, and had a growing and thriving middle class. Things were good. Then, along comes Hugo Chavez, a Socialist, who convinced everyone that he could make it better! That everyone deserved a piece of the pie!

Spot on! And we continue to spiral downward.
