There is only one word for people like these: drones. They are drones because they don't realize they're echoing the same class warfare rhetoric endemic to failed revolutions throughout history. The French Revolution. Russia in 1917. Peron in Argentina. The game-plan is always the same: demonize the rich, attack private industry, segregate political constituencies by race, gender, creed or religion in order to prey upon the weak-willed.
Such is the populist recipe of one Barack Obama, who has attacked industry after industry: coal miners, oil companies, health insurers, pharmaceutical manufacturers, medical professionals, and "millionaires and billionaires", among others.
The following are the kinds of messages I often receive on social networks:• Maybe we should just hand over country to REpub/CorpAmerica
• I found that Laws are about controlling WallSt,but we suffer too. Loopholes/oxymoron clauses have brought #us to the brink.
• UR to smart NOT to believe CorpAmerica wants to pay any Taxes
Unfortunately, we've bankrupted the Treasury with the alternative: the collectivist roadmap. And it's failed like it's failed every other time in history. Central planning by masterminds in some far-off capital has a perfect track record: zero-for-Eternity.
Remember that "Stimulus" program? How's that working out? Or the Department of Education? Helping out low-income students? And that solar technology in which Presidents Carter and Obama have sunk billions? Remember how that revolutionized our energy infrastructure?
Spewing Marxist class warfare rhetoric is simply indicative of a lack of education.
To paraphrase Milton Friedman: who are these angels on Earth that can redistribute everyone's wealth?
There isn't a corporation on Earth that can force you to pay it whether you want to or not.
There isn't a corporation on the planet that can throw you in jail for failure to adhere to its millions of pages of laws, regulations and dictates.
There isn't a corporation anywhere that can make you buy a one-size-fits-all health care plan, or a certain kind of light bulb, or a low-flow toilet, or a certain kind of car, and so on and on.
There isn't a corporation anywhere that can command you -- the citizen -- to participate in multi-trillion dollar Ponzi schemes like Medicare, set to collapse in only ten short years.
No, there isn't any corporation powerful enough to do these things.
Only a giant, enormous, bloated federal government can ruin our economy in these ways. And, then, only because a certain group of power-hungry, easily corrupted politicians, lawyers and judges have ignored our highest law: the Constitution.
Our Framers created the Constitution to prevent the rise of an all-powerful, autocratic, authoritarian central government.
It wasn't the corporations or "the rich" that have ruined the economy: it's the politicians who violate their oath of office every day of the week. That's what the Tea Party is all about. And that is why every one concerned with the future of America should support Constitutional conservatism.
To begin putting lawful restraints on our federal leviathan.
Great summation.
ReplyDeleteI do NOT understand how libs refuse to look at history, when it shows nothing but failure.
The closest socialism came to working, that I know of, was in the kibbutzim in Israel. Even there, the hard core socialism of yesteryear is hard to find. And, the ONLY reason it worked there was because it was voluntary. Anyone on a kibbutz could leave if they hated it. There were social pressures to stay, but no physical force, no "at the point of a gun", as is present in socialist-run nations.
Too, the kibbutzim never had more than a small percentage of Israelis living on them at the height of their popularity. That peak has passed.
Socialism is just not in sync with human nature. I really think, as some say, that liberalism is a mental disease. There is something wrong with people that refuse so consistently to face facts.
Actually, in some jurisdictions, an occupied residence can be compelled to have an electricity connection and pay an electricity bill.
ReplyDeleteSince most electricity in the US arrives via private corporations, there is this little exception.
I didn't say I agreed with it but there it is - there can be a case made for it.
The parts are being assembled and with greater urgency as the polls for Obama sink.
