Redistribution of Wealth- Socialist Myth

Redistribution of Wealth

“Redistribution of Wealth” is hallmark propaganda espoused by socialist and progressives and directed at lower- to moderate socio-economic people.  A Universal Health Care System and environmentalism are used to bait potential converts to their movement.  In the U.S. this takes the form of the current proposed Health Care Reform including its “Public Option” and Cap and Trade fueled by “Climate Change” propaganda.  Capitalism and the Constitution are frowned upon and are objects of their derisive rhetoric.  Although socialism and its ilk have failed each and every time to create a Utopian state, radicals leftist use it to attract those they believe are exploited and excluded from society.

It is understandable how Obama and Rahm Emanuel have cavalier disdain for American values.  The procrastination in aiding our troops in Afghanistan and socialist agenda are telling signs.   One generation of existence here can never provide the same richness of history, the same sacrifice, and the same sense of community that course through the veins of Americans whose families have been here for countless generations.  You do not value something if you haven’t earned it.   The Pilgrims came to the New World seeking religious freedom.  England stretched its arm across the ocean and tried to limit freedoms and impose unfair taxes on the Colonists.  The Colonists responded by rejecting and defeating  England and establishing the United States of America.  We have a Constitution for necessary reasons- to ensure our freedoms and prevent oppressive behavior by those that would subjugate us.   

Obama himself stated that he would “fundamentally change” America.  One of Merriam-Webster’s definitions for revolution is “fundamental change” in political organization.   Aristotle described two types of political revolution:  Complete change from one constitution to another and Modification of an existing constitution.  It appears that his goal is the second of Aristotle’s descriptions.  This would give rise to a Demo-Socialist (my term) state which allows its citizen to vote and select leaders in an effort to appease the populace’s need for political   illusory self-governance.  At the same time, the state nationalizes most institutions and bottle feeds its citizens universal health care, meaningless jobs, and self-serving propaganda.  Sounds like Obama has a leg up on this as the bank bailouts and automobile buyouts give the government major control of these industries.  This control was pronounced with the government’s decision to limit salaries of top bank executives.  The Health Care bill if passed will eventually lead to a single-payer health care system.  Revocation of coal mining permits is another instance of socialist strong-arm tactics.  But this happened before in Europe.

Over 200 years ago a peoples sailed to the U.S. from England.  Christians searching for a place to practice their religion free from prejudice and discrimination arrived in the New World.  Tyranny in the form of the English monarchy followed them here.  The people here in the Colonies had something in common- search for religious tolerance.  That common denominator and the reluctance to pay unfair taxes to a greedy monarch led to a revolt.   Most Socialist schemes are diametrically opposed to values and principles held by generations of Americans.  Don’t Tread On Me.

Oh, and redistribution of wealth is a lie-a fairy tale.  Raising the taxes on the wealthy only causes them to sell their products and services for higher prices.  They still make the same profit.  However everyone else pays more for goods and services which now generate more tax revenues for governments at all levels.  That's why it never works.  But it sounds good, gets votes, creates big government all at the expense of the "non-wealthy".
