Robbin' Vos on socialism

Assembly Speaker Robin Vos retweeted this yesterday. This is the same Robbin' Vos who got Wisconsin taxpayers to send hundreds of millions of dollars of infrastructure to his district as part of the Foxconn boondoggle.

This is the same Robbin' Vos who took between $150,000 and $350,000 from Uncle Sam under the PPP program, which was set up to defray the results of a recession.

This is the same Robbin' Vos who has headed up schemes to give hundreds of millions a year to private schools, as a taxpayer-funded kickback for Betsy DeVos's campaign contributions.

I suppose Robbin' Vos can speak a lot about socialism, because he sure believes in using government resources and olicy to improve outcomes for himself and his donors. But unlike real socialism, the everyday person doesn't get helped one bit from Vos-style redistribution, and I suppose that's the difference, isn't it?
