What about skyrocketing economic growth? I’m in the sportfish market and we are projecting 30 to 50% growth year over year the next 10 years if we can just get predictability in the tax code. If the socialists knew how much income would be created by a flat tax or national sales tax they would crawl up a gnats ass to make it happen.

The very idea that someone is successful by their own ingenuity and hard work is anathema to socialists.They will do everything in their power to ruin such people even if they themselves are harmed in the process.

The socialists don’t care about prosperity. They want power. If they wanted prosperity, they’d abandon socialism. Think of the socialists as being just like O’Brien from Nineteen Eighty-Four . . .

The German Nazis and the Russian Communists came very close to us in their methods, but they never had the courage to recognize their own motives. They pretended—perhaps they even believed—that they had seized power unwillingly and for a limited time, and that just around the corner there lay a paradise where human beings would be free and equal. We are not like that. We know that no one ever seizes power with the intention of relinquishing it. Power is not a means; it is an end. One does not establish a dictatorship in order to safeguard a revolution; one makes the revolution in order to establish the dictatorship. The object of persecution is persecution. The object of torture is torture. The object of power is power. Now do you begin to understand me?
