Of, course. The Democrats have to dumb the population down to get what they want. It is socialism-by-stealth, or, incremental liberty-rot.
There is no difference between communism and socialism, in effect, except, perhaps the speed at which things break-down. Or, one is murder and the other is suicide.
They are both soul-crushing “ideals” when put into practice.
The “redistribution of wealth” fast becomes the redistribution of sacrifices. “Brotherly love” fast becomes brotherly suspicion. To work/sacrifice “For the common good” fast becomes: What the hell for? why bother?
Contrast this with what capitalism/freedom (inseperable, btw) has brought us here in America.
Senator Barack Obama is a socialist—he won’t ever admit to it. Just like your average thug won’t admit he’s a liar and a thief.
It is plain-as-day to a free man.
If you think your taxes are high now—if you think the government is too much in your business and life now, you haven’t seen anything.
You have been free—your family and loved-ones have been free. You have no concept, really, of what it will be like when you freedom is trully diminished.
Imagine looking at your paycheck and seeing that the bulk of it is sucked-up by a new, higher income tax; a new health-care tax, etc.
Imagine keeping maybe 40% of what you earn?
And you haven’t even paid sales tax, property tax, vehicle registration, utility taxes, the new global warming tax (payable to the UN), and on, and on, and on...
OK, so you have 20%, or so, left—enjoy it! Don’t spend it all in ONE PLACE.
Send you kids to college? You will have to fill-out the government forms proving your child is “worthy” of an education sponsored by the people. Private schools, home-schooling?—You must be joking.
Need surgery at 65? There are many younger people who have not lived as long as you (and who still bring in revenue), so please fill-out this request for immediate care and we will get back to you. Afer all, what makes YOU so important?
Think it isn’t possible?
We poor saps in California with already high cost-of-living, and if Scwarzenegger’s budget passes, will be paying taxes equal to the European socialists—this is not an exageration.
Freedom is sick in America—sicker than it has ever been since her inception.
If free people don’t act now then the formerly-free will witness their children as full-on slaves of the state.
