Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton (D-Cuba), speaking at a Democratic party fundraiser in San Francisco yesterday, was remarkably frank about the Democrats' intentions to use socialist redistribution policies if the party gains power after the November elections.
As reported by the Associated Press, Sen. Clinton said, "Many of you are well enough off that ... the tax cuts may have helped you. We're saying that for America to get back on track, we're probably going to cut that short and not give it to you. We're going to take things away from you on behalf of the common good."
With her blunt statement, Sen. Clinton has drawn clear the difference between the two major parties: The Marxist Democratic party will "take things away from you on behalf of the common good" while the Republicans will defend your right to spend your money as you see fit because they know it's your money, not the government's.
Remember this during the long slog to the elections this year. The choice is clear: Marxism or freedom. Vote wisely.
True Colors BUMP!

The Results of Legal Plunder
It is impossible to introduce into society a greater change and a greater evil than this: the conversion of the law into an instrument of plunder.
What are the consequences of such a perversion? It would require volumes to describe them all. Thus we must content ourselves with pointing out the most striking.
In the first place, it erases from everyone's conscience the distinction between justice and injustice.
No society can exist unless the laws are respected to a certain degree. The safest way to make laws respected is to make them respectable. When law and morality contradict each other, the citizen has the cruel alternative of either losing his moral sense or losing his respect for the law. These two evils are of equal consequence, and it would be difficult for a person to choose between them.
The nature of law is to maintain justice. This is so much the case that, in the minds of the people, law and justice are one and the same thing. There is in all of us a strong disposition to believe that anything lawful is also legitimate. This belief is so widespread that many persons have erroneously held that things are "just" because law makes them so. Thus, in order to make plunder appear just and sacred to many consciences, it is only necessary for the law to decree and sanction it. Slavery, restrictions, and monopoly find defenders not only among those who profit from them but also among those who suffer from them.

We need to take her out of politics for the common good of all mankind......
Stay safe !

Anybody get this to Rush L. ?

I don't see that as worse than income tax. Let's face it, all taxes suck. But, most states already collect a sales tax. Harder (but still possible) to do social engineering with a sales tax. It's still progressive to satisfy moderates, but essentially a flat tax. You decide if you can afford to pay the tax or not. Sales tax would be a big win for privacy rights. That is huge IMO. Of course, I'm only in favor as a replacement for income tax, not in addition. Need to repeal the income tax amendement.
There was a SF gate link...here's another one:

Yep...its new tagmine time.
Amen! And, perhaps even more importantly, never forget that it would be such as this deciding what constitutes "common good".
Stay safe !
Where there is a will there is a way.
BUMP
At least that's the lip service they pay.
Thanks for pointing this out. I posted this to a neutral forum I'm on, where I annoy the Lefties and try to make them look like fools (usually pretty easy).
The Kool-Aid drinkers there are of course attacking me for being a heartless meanie who wants to send "the poor" to the gas chambers.
I think I succeeded.
And this without examining the implications of the actual HR25 sections and clauses.
