Only about 25% of Americans would see net financial benefits if all Clinton’s class warfare measures were enacted, and that’s leaving out the likely damage they would cause to the economy.

"...some must pay so that others may benefit." The most successful argument I've had against this argument is to simply state, which would feed more people, taking the seeds away from the farmer and feeding the people the seeds, or letting the farmer plant the seeds and produce more crop..

An argument I use against wealth redistribution is simply: Does the system still work if nobody is productive?

Great article with lots of common-sense points.
Trouble is, the top priorities of the GOP/RNC is to:
1) Nominate McCain for President in '08
2) Ram this shamnesty bill through to quick passage with NO discussion
3) Move to the left to show dhimmocrats that grass-roots conservatives are irrelevant, and
4) Solicit donation$....

Hillary “I want to take that money” Clinton just doesn’t get it.

"...which would feed more people, taking the seeds away from the farmer and feeding the people the seeds, or letting the farmer plant the seeds and produce more crop... Exactly, so why aren't our representatives saying that in a loud and angry voice on our behalf?

the left often like to use the Robin Hood analogy, but it can be rebuted quite easily. The rich, the nobles back then were the government

I’ve always wondered why we don’t have some good marketing people on our side.

In a recent Democrat debate aired on CNN, Hillary made a comment to the effect that: “...some must pay so that others may benefit.” This is the cornerstone of most Democrat policies and has been for years.
This was Karl Marx’ socialist philosophy and musing long before the U.S.Dems latched onto it.

I read her book many years ago and it changed my politics quite a lot. I have the name of the book on the tip of my tongue but cannot spit it out.

didnt Robin Hood steal from the over-taxing government to give to the poor? Yes. But the government put a spin on it. He stole from the tax collectors and most of the money the collectors had came from the rich. So, Robbin Hood stole from the people and they all had to pay the tax again. The government is only collecting the money to spend for them in this case.

Ive always wondered why we dont have some good marketing people on our side. I agree. After all, this isn't rocket science. The Republicans have done a miserable job of pointing out the benefits of tax cuts and reduced entitlements. I find it amazing that the Republicans couldn't even sell (without a major fight) the extension of the Bush tax cuts. Reagan was so effective because he could communicate such things. No one has stepped forward and even made an attempt to fill those shoes.

WE have some real successes to point to and they are better than theoretical arguments. Both welfare reform and Katrina relocation have measurably improved people’s lives a lot more than a piddly government benefit ever will.
On a theoretical level it is just one opinion vs another. But when you evaluate the results, free enterprise beats welfare every time.
