Every good ever created in the US -- from Medicare to Social Security, from wage and hour laws, to school integration, from environmental protection to the weekend, was opposed by Republicans who said it was the slippery slope to "socialism".
“Socialism is a scare word they've hurled at every advance the people have made. Socialism is what they called public power, social security, deposit insurance, & independent labor organizations. Socialism is their name for anything that helps all people.” -- Harry Truman, 1952
