Where do Conservatives get the impression that socialism means not having money or the government paying people not to work?

Conservative politicians know what socialism is. It's paying their salaries...out of the same pool of tax money that welfare checks are cut from. But they also know the word "socialism" has been turned into a trigger word by FOX and other sites that love to sow discord and division in America. So even though GOP politicians are entirely supported by socialism....from free healthcare, to free cars, to free housing allowances, to free travel and even free vacation homes.........they know if they say the word the less educated that the GOP depends on for votes will suddenly be triggered and outraged and they will never for a second think.........OMFG my own politician gets all of that free stuff too. It's like waving the Nazi flag or beating down blacks or blaming Jews for everything wrong...or blaming Mexicans or Muslims for whatever. GOP voters love hating those things........and the word "socialsim" fits right into the category that triggers hate from their base..............and gets votes.
