Most Conservatives have for many years tried to make the case that “Liberalism” is synonymous with “Socialism.”
The main point being that liberal politicians can only be elected by ensuring their “constituents” remain dependent on the goodies only liberals can provide.
“The Redistribution of Wealth” therefore has to be a primary plank in their campaign platforms.
(It’s interesting to note that all these programs are designed to give their constituents just enough to survive, yet never enough to escape the trap of Government dependence).
Reagan once said “We should measure welfare’s success by how many people leave welfare, not by how many are added.”
Quite a contrast , don’t you think?
And now, as we head into the last 1/8 of the Obama Presidency, many opine that Obama has failed to produce……..failed to keep his campaign promises of 2008.
But is that really true? I don’t think so.
Take for example Obama’s promise that electric rates would have to increase, or that gasoline should be $5 per gallon. Or that the rich should pay a greater share of taxes (than the 80+% of all taxes they already pay). The examples of his ridiculous campaign promises are legendary if not for their content then for their sheer numbers. Remember: The oceans will stop rising if we just elect Obama.
Well, this video pretty much sums it all up.
