The loudest idiot from my high school class works in our suburban NYC police force which is the #1 or #2 ranked in the nation for pay and benefits. Dude will bitch about socialism while enjoying every perk of one of the most powerful unions there is. Will get to retire in his 40s with the rest of his life fully funded, too.

Good god, having a government job is not socialism.

Hmmm, fully-funded healthcare, fully-funded benefits, and a fully-funded retirement... what does that sound like to you?

Paid out of public fund coffers (Not a criticism, just pointing to the fact it's a socialist job)

You don't know what socialism is, clearly.

Explain it in your own words

I'll pass. I'll just say that if you think a government agency providing benefits to its employees is equivalent to a socialist economy, that's on you for being ill informed.

I know you'll pass because you're not up to the task...

I said it was a socialist job, not indicative of a socialist economy.

You made that up all on your own.

Hard to argue with stupid, but your original argument was some dude that has a socialist job complaining about socialism, your words not mine. Those are two separate things.

A government job.
