Senator and Democratic presidential candidate Hillary Clinton has unveiled her economic vision. Should she be given the power to implement it, we can say goodbye to the prosperity and opportunity we have enjoyed since the Reagan years.
In a speech at Manchester School of Technology in New Hampshire, Clinton said it's time to replace President Bush's "ownership society," which she called an "on your own" society, with one based on shared responsibility and prosperity.
Clinton said she prefers a "we're all in it together" society: "I believe our government can once again work for all Americans. It can promote the great American tradition of opportunity for all and special privileges for none."
Doesn't such a society already exist elsewhere? It's called socialism, where government has sought to make all things economically equal and the only equality is that all are equally poor. Wasn't defeating such a society precisely why we fought and won the Cold War? Why does Senator Clinton wish to embrace the principles of the losing side?
Clinton has merely updated the old and discredited (except among socialist dictators) Karl Marx saying: "From each according to his ability, to each according to his need."

It's there already. They're thinking about laws to deny anyone who is overweight fast food, and No trans fat seems to be the next target. I think some cities already have laws that restaurants cannot use anything with trans fat. And how about the lightbulb laws?
Oh, I agree with you. I was trying to keep my point obvious.
That says it all.
You bet, bag and baggage. We cannot let this communist take over this country. Yep, “we will share”, but true to all communist leaders, she and her family will not share they will get to keep theirs, plus what they can get from us. What more does she want, we’re already paying for her house in Chappaqua.
There are companies that will not hire someone overweight.
communism is here, in places.
Neither did I. There are few practical limits on federal power now. Once we accept socialized health care the people will be willing to accept anything in the name of "the common good." Adios constitutional republic, hello totalitarianism.
A car in every pot, two chickens in every garage!
I'm not coming if I can't bring my guns - all of them. I guess I'll have to stay and fight for the overthrow of the American Chavez.
I can easily see Hilary nationalizing the oil industry and of course appointing Bubba to be the Oil Czar.
Whatever happened to the FBI files she stole?
I’d certainly like to know the answer to that - probably on a coffee table somewhere.
At first, until the border walls are finally in place.
OK Hillary, give me your money.
Otherwise, STFU.
You’d be very welcome anytime!!!
How many guns you got?
It's possible.....
one of my tv-moron neighbors loves hillary and will vote for her.
my neighbor hates men. one day she was enraged by a tv show that mentioned salary disparities between men and women. she was angry that men make more money.
i pointed out that men work longer hours than do women, but she didn’t understand.
then, i mentioned her daughter who doesn’t have kids and does not like working. her daughter talked her husband into letting her stay at home and not working.
finally, my neighbor began to see what i meant about men working longer hours.
