What is so wrong with "socialism" that conservatives want to stop health insurance reform at all costs?

Asked by Zuma (5908points) August 21st, 2009

It appears that at the bottom of these deeply emotional outbursts in town hall meetings is a deep-seated aversion to “socialism.” You see it in the placards they carry accusing Obama of being a “socialist” as if that were something terrible and to be resisted at any cost. What is it that these people have in mind when they think of socialism and do they realize that Social Security and public education are socialist programs?
