You Don't WANT Socialism!

“Denmark has the highest total tax obligation in the world, towering far above the European average. It also has the smallest private sector in Europe, to support one of the biggest public sectors. Add to that a generous entitlement system allowing unemployed and unemployable citizens an income well above that achieved by full-time employees in the private sector in many European countries, and tax revenues nearly unmatched anywhere else in the world are required. While the majority of Danish politicians may intuitively understand this malady – many of them still view capitalists as an unpleasant necessity to generate the necessary revenues to fund a social welfare state and its myriad of responsibilities. They continue to spend more money, hire more public servants, regulate, supervise and monitor even the most insignificant activities. Sound at all familiar?” Yes, it does. It sounds like the very thing Obama is working hard to impose on the United States.

Socialism is COLLECTIVISM; a system that has NEVER WORKED, wherever it has been tried. Liberals try and convince you it succeeded in Cuba, even though Cuba has been SUFFERING under it for years and is soon itself to collapse. The only thing holding it together was the money sent it by Soviet Russia, now itself broke. The Soviet Union WAS the big socialist “showcase” for years, until it predictably ran out of “other people’s money,” as ALL socialist regimes will do, eventually. But only after their citizens SUFFER and die for years. They NEED the “private sector” to earn the money they STEAL to finance their “flights of fancy” even while they condemn that “private sector” and the free market. I don’t want ANY kind of collectivism, and neither do you if you examine it carefully. Collectivism (socialism, communism, Fascism, and progressivism), and under any other name it uses, is institutional THEFT. It institutionalizes STEALING from those who EARN and giving that stolen to those who DON’T. It will inevitably collapse when the people from whom they steal realize what’s happening and stop earning money for them to steal. (Heritage Foundation)
