Fight America, fight against the communist cancer in the White House and in the Democrat party. We cannot allow them to make us slaves of the state.

Critics say that greed is the driving force of capitalism

In the 1990s, one of the cheif arguments against impeachment of Bill Clinton was that it would hurt the stock market. And then the internet stock bubble burst anyway and hurt the market.

IBD has had a great series called “Perspectives of a Russion Immigrant”. Very pointed, very revealing.

And any leftist that reads it will ignore the lessons with the thought “we’ll do it right, here”.

The short version: socialism is planned poverty.

Some years past, my friend visited the USSR. His cabbie said: “I will be outside your hotel daily until you leave and take you wherever you want. You don't have to pay me. But, before you leave, just go to the ‘western’ store and I will give you a list of the things I want.”

Apparently, average Ivan's could not shop except at the state run stores and the best goods were available only to visitors and state officials. Nice.

"There is no perfect society. There are no perfect people. Critics say that greed is the driving force of capitalism. My answer is that envy is the driving force of socialism. Change to socialism is not an improvement on the imperfections of the current system. "

That is exactly right...so long as there is human nature, will will never be a perfect system. The entire population would need to be programmed robots for any system to be perfect.

But, of all the possible types of governmental systems every created, communism/socialism are the absolute worst.

These systems operate like giant labor unions, only those at the top prosper...the "union bosses", while the rank and file have absolute equality...in being poor and powerless.

After 64 years of observation, it occurs to me that the people who are the unhappiest with capitalism, are those too lazy to get off their asses and takes advantage of the opportunity it offers.

Looking around, the only ones I see that are supporting socialism and communism, are those who sit with their hands out wanting to suck off the government teat from cradle to grave.

Able bodied citizens should be told, "get off your ass, or starve". A bit harse, yes, but you'd be totally surprised at how many would get off their asses if they were told that.

Capitalism is the only system in which the people have a stake in their own fate. And, a government which stays out of micro-managing commerce, and keeps taxes and regulations that are pro-business, are enabling an economy to create jobs, creating prosperity for us all. THAT is the meaning of "promoting the General Welfare", and NOT passing obamacare.

Socialism/communism are totalitarian dictatorships...you, the people, don't matter in those systems.

Businessese and consumers makes everyone a vital part of the system, as you can't have one without the other...a fact that completely escapes obamabot progressives. They think that if they need money, the government just has to go and print it. This also illustrates the stupidity of those who promote socialism, and the ones who buy into it.

We've been versed on the horrors of communism all our lives, and we only have to look at the shape Europe is in to see that socialism doesn't work either...so why are we headed down that slippery slope?

What no one asks about communism... if communism is so grand, why do people get punished for wanting to leave? Hell, why would they want to leave anyway?

[Buckeye McFrog]

Spread the word. It has been 20 years since the USSR collapsed. That means we have one whole generation that is utterly clueless.

“In the USSR, economic equality was achieved by redistributing wealth, ensuring that everyone remained poor, with the exception of those doing the redistributing. Only the ruling class of communist leaders had access to special stores, medicine and accommodations that could compare to those in the West.”

Those two sentences say it all.

Great article, thanks for posting.

Who is John Galt?

[Taxman]

Good find, good post. Thanks.

What we MUST remember is that Obozo and his LIEberal/Marxist/Socialist/Fascist camp followers will “achieve economic equality” by redistributing our wealth and ensuring that everyone, except those doing the redistributing, remains poor.

Only the Obozo ruling class will have access to special stores, medicine and accommodations — the rest of us are shit out of luck!

WE MUST STOP THEM NOW!
