Pell grants, public libraries, unemployment payments, the GI Bill and disaster relief do not count towards socialism, not in the least little bit. There are times that people need help and I am all for that. When the government takes my money and forces me to use their system that is socialism. I can attempt to pay for college myself (actually I still am), I can but a book at a bookstore or borrow a book from a friend (I dont have to go to the library), I can find another job instead of filing for unemployment (I have never filed for unemployment nor have I ever been out of work for more than two weeks at a time), the GI Bill is a benefit to say thanks to those who served in the military that comes out of an invested fund (it is not completely paid by my fellow tax payers), disaster relief is a one time hand-out for a hand-up (it is not a forced continious system).
