And now, the President of the United Socialist States of America!
“Socialism refers to a broad array of ideologies and political movements with the goal of a socio-economic system in which property and the distribution of wealth are subject to control by the community. This control may be either direct-exercised through popular collectives such as workers’ councils-or indirect-exercised on behalf of the people by the state. As an economic system, socialism is often characterized by state, worker, or community ownership of the means of production, goals which have been attributed to, and claimed by, a number of political parties and governments throughout history.” - *gasp* Wikipedia
I know I hate the Wik, but it was easiest to reach and defines it well. Why do I define...15 days from now we make a choice to ruin the USA. Usless vs. Dangerous. What a choice...atleast its not evil vs eviler?
I digress again...I define socialism so I can take a look at NObama's plan and hopefully give you an eyeful...Here's the things I lifted from his presidential campaign website...
1. Give an immediate $250 to ‘workers and their families’.
2. Give an immediate $250 to seniors for whatever reason.
3. Give another $250 to ‘workers and seniors’ if the economy worsens.
4. Give money to (aka Provide relief for) homeowners hit by the housing crisis.
5. Create a $10 billion foreclosure fund for irresponsible homeowners.
6. Create an mortgage interest credit (negative tax) only for ‘low-income’ workers.
7. Ensure freedom to unionize (form unions)
8. Provide UNIVERSAL HEALTH CARE COVERAGE by providing the ‘average’ family a $2500 reduction in premiums.
9. Make college ‘affordable’ by providing $4000 tax credit (read ‘tax redistribution’...and who gets that money? Last time I was affected by a Democratic president, it was Clinton penalizing me for being White! by giving my SCHOLASTIC based grants to the "more deserving")
10. Tackle ‘concentrated poverty’ in America.
11. Increase the supply of affordable housing (read Government housing)
12. Give every American a $1000 personal check for his/her vote in November. How? By REDISTRIBUTING THE HARD EARNED MONEY OF ANYONE OR BUSINESS MAKING OVER $250,000/year.
So you read all the above and decide if its a socialist approach. Thats the purpose. When you are done read the following quote and think again on those proposals...
"Tyrants would distribute largess, a bushel of wheat, a gallon of wine, and a sesterce (Roman coin): and then everybody would shamelessly cry, ‘Long live the King!’ The fools did not realize that they were merely recovering a portion of their own property, and that their ruler could not have given them what they were receiving without having first taken it from them."
