This is an accurate picture of life in America today. The public memory is beginning to fade from a time when a guy with a half-way decent job could support a wife and 3 kids and still be able to afford a house and car. That was when America was truly at her greatest heights. Today we have the specter of both parents working full time with any kids being shooed off into a day care center to just barely keep up with the standard of living their parents had and most can't even keep up. They just have fewer kids and take on more debt. This is what socialism was wrought. And the GOP, instead of fighting the democrats every inch of the way, have been busy splitting the difference with the democrat’s new and expanded social programs. All the meanwhile both parties were allowing a new class of welfare seekers to pour into the country by the many millions to keep the productive citizens of America on the treadmill forever. On that the GOP is and was REALLY STUPID. At least the democrats got a new political base out of their treason. It is really disgusting what our 2 parties have done to this country.
I found the recent flag-waiving bittersweet. At first I thought it was refreshing to witness some patriotism. Then, though I love my flag and the ideas that made my country great, I found myself getting annoyed by it. All I saw were patriotic bromides. Sheep, only half-conscious.
The left is winning. Half of your productive life will be sacrificed for "the common good." Your children are next in line at this alter.
How much more will Americans stand. How much more will a people spoiled with freedom sacrifice for the illusion of security?
Government is inherently evil. Whenever men have great power over men you will find corruption, stagnation, and injustice. Do you suppose the Founding Fathers thought differently?
So just sit by while your political "leaders" deliver your livelihood and your life into the power of an omnipotent government--it's "for your own good." Pick your slogan by which your rulers delude you--the enslaved subject.
Join in the chant. Submit I to thou. Sacrifice for the "common good." Sacrifice is a virtue.
Observe that any social movement which begins by "redistributing" income, ends up distributing sacrifices.
If a man proposes to redistribute wealth, he means that the wealth is his to distribute. If he proposes it in the name of government, then the wealth belongs to the government; if in the name of society, then it belongs to society. No one, did or could define a difference between this proposal and the basic principle of communism.
They're rounding up the chattel--busily creating one neck for one leash.
