TRUMP SOCIALIST TRUMP ACCOUNTS GO LIVE
By: Derek Varsalona
President Trump and his Republican colleagues claim they are against socialism until they are not. Today, the Trump accounts go live. The government is going to give each kid $1,000.
I do not agree with Trump accounts. This is a form of socialism, and it is deviating from free-market capitalism. Let me get this straight: if it is okay to have Trump accounts for all children, which is government-funded, then why was Obamacare so bad for giving everyone health care? I support some form of government health care as long as it covers everyone and does not cover abortion. The abortion issue in Obamacare is why I am against it. I am also against it since if it was so good for Americans, then why did Congress and the President not go on it? Also, I supported the public option, which did not make it. The only problem is that Obamacare is strangling the market, and it will eventually be the only option.
As for the Trump accounts, I am against this. The government should not be handing out free money and free $1,000 to kids. This is rewarding laziness. The government should take a laissez-faire approach, hands off the economy, and no Trump accounts. As always,s comments accepted.
