Socialism

Socialism does not work

Leave a comment

Socialism is extortion from the producers.   The extortion is by government.  Socialist government remains in power by rewarding useful idiot voters with false “something for nothing” promises.  The voters think they will be taken care of but only with scraps while Socialist leadership skims rewards and riches off the top for themselves to live like kings while everyone else lives in squalor.

Since the producers work for less and less the diminished rewards do not justify their efforts.  So Socialist leadership thinks the wealthy can never run dry they turn up the screws of regulations and taxes to increase their tax revenue.  Producers find ways to do things cheaper but at some point they cannot so they go out of business or leave the state or country to survive.  This vicious cycle continues which eventually destroys the economy.

This is what Karl Marx predicted for Capitalism.  But it is not Capitalism which fails, it is the Socialist policies which disease Capitalism which cause economic destruction.  Capitalism does not devolve into Socialism.  Socialism must destroy Capitalism from within.  Each time a Capitalist policy is upended by a Socialist policy Capitalism decays.  Capitalism is only created by free people, thinking people, productive people unfettered by government. Socialism is oppression of people, no freedom, no choice, simply drones to obey government or die.

Speech Commentary

President Obama apologizes, or does he?

Leave a comment

President Barack Hussein Obama told the American people, “If you like your plan you can keep your plan, if you like your doctor you can keep your doctor.”  “The average family will save $2500 per year in health insurance cost.” Yet people can’t keep their plan, doctor, and premiums are increasing.

President Obama apologizes, or does he?

“Even though its affecting a small percentage of folks who may be disadvantaged, it means a lot to them, it’s scary for them.  I am sorry they are finding themselves in this situation based on assurances from me.”

First thing he does is marginalize the people affected by saying, “a small percentage of folks who may be disadvantaged”  This small percentage does not really matter to me in accomplishing Socialized Medicine.  Yet only the 15% who did not have health care was enough to overturn healthcare coverage for the other 85%.

Then Barack throws up a smokescreen by identifying emotionally with us by saying, “, it means a lot to them, it’s scary for them.”  Yet if he really means it, he would do something about it, he would back it up with corrective action to take away the reason why people fear this situation.

In his apology he is sorry to people who, “are finding themselves in this situation.”  Is that an apology, NO!  He uses the word sorry but it is not connected to the backend of the sentence.  He is not sorry for what he did.  When you say you are sorry, it is for what you did.  For example this is a real apology which he would never say.  I am sorry for deceiving the American people to help me pass this healthcare package.  This is an apology.  Yet that is not enough.

An apology to have meaning and to show character the apology must be accompanied with corrective action or compensation.  President Obama should say for example, ObamaCare will  be rescinded so you can purchase insurance based on actuarial tables that apply to your individual situation.

When I was a kid in Jr. High School I was tossing the Frisbee with a friend in the street.  I threw the frisbee to hard without much control and it drifted to the second story window of a neighbor breaking his window.  The neighbor was not home so I put a note on his door that I broke it and to contact me so I would fix it.  When he got home he called me.  I came over and measured for the piece of glass, went and bought it, cleaned out the broken window, and installed the new window.  He was so impressed he offered me other work to do he would pay me for.  The apology was insignificant, compared to my corrective actions.  That meant everything to my neighbor.  Fixing it demonstrated an apology with integrity.

Barack Obama’s apology demonstrates immaturity on the childish end or deceit on the political end.  Either way he is not fixing the situation so it is a meaningless apology.  Another way to put his apology is, Even though I lied to you I am not going to fix the hardship I put you in.  This is how a dictator deals with his subjects.  The subjects are a means to the dictators end, like it or not, whether they live or die.   How Barack handled this situation demonstrates he does not care how people are affected by his oppressive policies.
