Offended that Obama has been called a socialist?

"From each according to his abilities to each according to his needs."

Who said this? This is a direct quote from the founder of communism, Karl Marx.

What does it mean? Well it says, "from each according to his ability". This means we take money according to what a person has the ability to earn. Someone who makes nothing gives nothing and someone who makes a lot gives a lot. Now, after the government takes the money, what do they do with it? We have always had a progressive tax code and rich people will pay a bit more than those who have none, but what is done with the money once it has been taken?

Well, this quote from Marx continues, "to each according to his needs". So, we take money from those who have money not to pay down the national debt; not to strengthen our military efforts; not to put in place opportunities to create new jobs. No, we take the money from those who make money (work for a living and create jobs) so that we can then give that money to people who do not have the ability (job) to make that money on their own. We take from one who works hard to build a business or a career and give that to someone that does not work hard to build a business or a career.

Now, who does this sound like? It sounds like Obama's "spreading the wealth around" statement. Obama wants to redistribute wealth from those who work hard to those who hardly work. This is pure communism. This whether the democrats want to admit it is following one of the major tennants of communism. Did we (Ronald Reagan and George H. W. Bush) overcome communism in the world only to bring it home to the United States? I sincerely hope not. That's what Barack Obame, Nancy Pelosi, Harry Reed, Barney Frank and Chris Dodd have in mind if we give them the White House and both houses of congress. There will be no more voice for Capitalism. What will be the incentive to work hard if all of your hard work goes to pay someone else for not working at all? You may say, "this could never happen in the United States". It's already happening under this democratic congress which has controlled the purse strings of our nation for the past two years.

Many blame the President for out present financial condition, but let me remind you that the Constitution charges the congress and the House of Representatives with the duty of controlling the national budget. The President suggests a budget, but it's the congress who passes a budget and let me assure you that it was not the budget the President sent down that got passed these past 2 years. What happened when the Republicans controlled congress during the first 6 years of George Bush's Presidency? Record growth in the stock market. Record job creation. What happened in he past 2 years? All of that growth went away and we find ourselves in the worst economic state since the great depression. Let's not stick our heads in the sand. Who has been in control these past two years? It's a democratic House and a democratic Senate. This is what Nancy Pelosi and Harry Reed have brought you.

What will happen if we add on top of this economy regulations which will drive more small businesses out of business? Where will the middle class and the poor find jobs if their employers go out of business. What will happen if we allow socialism to run unchallenged in the United States Congress and in the White House? Can we afford even 4 years of a Marxist government?

Please God, have mercy on us. Forgive us of our transgressions. God bless America again.

Until later,

Don
