You can’t judge Socialism by what it says to you. While it says “the good of society” its real goal is total control of “the Masses”.
It’s the old thing of the front of the package in the grocery store proclaiming miracles in color and dazzling visual effects, while the ingredient list on the back reveals the same old emasculated white flour and hydrogenated (carcinogenic) fat.
As with Obama and every other leftist, commie and socialist, they use code-speak and what they say is at best only part of what they mean.
When socialists like Obama and FDR say something is "for the good of society" what they really mean is "for the good of society as I perceive it."
They all believe they have superior wisdom and insight that gives them the right govern every aspect of our lives. It is their altruistic duty to share their superior wisdom, to tell others how to live their lives down to the smallest detail - buckle up - wear a helmet, don't smoke, don't eat meat, no dodge ball for kids, what kind of car to drive.
(Remember Obama said he hoped the controversy surrounding the arrest of Harvard Professor Henry Louis Gates, Jr. would become a "teaching moment"? Of course, he is the teacher and the dim witted whites are the pupils.)
They are puzzled and frustrated that we are seemingly too dense to understand - everything they do, they do for us. Instead of resisting them why aren't we on our knees thanking them?
