A good summary of the progression of evil in a socialist state, but Socialism is tyranny from inception. If it not be tyranny to effectively confiscate the fruits of human labor, what could be? Taking a man's property is taking a significant part of his life. Taking a man's hope to pass on to his family what he has worked for in life, is denial of the most elemental freedom.

We have already been conditioned by endless talk of "social justice" and "equality" to accept things that should never even have been considered by rational man. For an antidote, read the Constitution & Declaration of Independence to see how the Founders viewed Government, and let a little sunshine reveal the absurdity of the Left's premises.

There are 3 and only 3 ways for anyone in life to have/obtain value (monetary or economic) or acquire any assets to be able to live or sustain oneself or one’s family:

(1) You ethically earn it (by working and providing value to your employer, risking it in a venture to provide new value to others via a service or product, inventing something new and original that is useful to others) = Ethical Capitalism

(2) You steal it from others or someone else (individual, institution, or government) steals it on your behalf = Criminals, Communism, Socialism, Fascism, American government (federal, state and local), Robin Hood, the Sopranos, the Mafia, etc..

(3) Someone voluntarily gives it to you = Charity (religious or otherwise) NOTE however, that in order for someone (individual, government, church, institution, etc..) to have the money/asset to give it to you they also must attain it via #1 or #2

Notice that the only fair, ethical, and voluntary model that is based fully on freedom and the greatest respect for the individual is #1. (NOTE: I did not include unethical, lying, criminal, or abusive individuals, executives, and companies that do not practice ethical capitalism and earn millions and wind up destroying their companies and the long-term value of shareholders.)

Left’s Premise seemsto be: Government is so good it can replace God! Nit only that, let’s select Senator Government to be our candidate.
