That may sound cliché, but even some of the founders didn’t fully comprehend how different America could be and should be when compared to other societies of the past.

Socialism demands more government, less freedom. Socialism has but one purpose: to fool people into giving up their liberty to the state. Socialism is, therefore, a foreign ideology and singularly un-American.<br /><br />It is sheer idiocy to think that we require government to “level the field” of power and wealth; our founding fathers sought to instill equal opportunity —not equal result. It does not take a village to raise a child; it takes concerned, dedicated parents. Equal opportunity suggests having choices, and making choices that have consequences: even bad ones.<br /><br />People access power and wealth by preparing themselves for adulthood while in school. Instead, public school has become little more than a wretched drain on the American taxpayer. People access power and wealth by working hard for most of their lifetime —not by standing around feeling sorry about the fact that they had crap for parents, and waiting for government checks to arrive.Sam Huntingtonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14780557316548397352noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4320479736034351430.post-57223871741275036542012-04-04T17:58:05.638-05:002012-04-04T17:58:05.638-05:00Ducky, what do you expect when they get their info...Ducky, what do you expect when they get their information from Fox News?Liberalmannhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04612454539046863752noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4320479736034351430.post-53847094419549945282012-04-04T17:50:47.761-05:002012-04-04T17:50:47.761-05:00The distribution of power is the problem.

All government power has found itself corrupted and it should be clear to anyone paying attention that democracy is incompatible with laissez-faire capitalism.<br /><br />Let Kapital own you, that's working out, right?<br /><br />Trying to move toward democratic socialism and a more level distribution of power and wealth is such a revolting idea to the fringe right who don't have power or a pot to pee in.
