When I was a kid something about the lyrics from this hippie era song struck me as wrong:
"Tax the rich, feed the poor, 'Til there are no rich no more"
Doesn't it seem that the goal should be to eliminate poverty, or to have the poor fed instead of making sure the rich are eliminated?
Also, is there something more sinister going on here? Do they mean that they want to eliminate rich people entirely in a Marxist Che/PolPot/Ceausescu/Pelosi/Healthcare Bill/Stalinist way, or just to take away all their wealth so that we are all in the third world?
"Tell me where is sanity?"
Leftism is built on a foundation of evil so yes, it's as sinister as can be under the shiny hood painted red, green, or recently hijacked "conservative true blue". The poor and hungry are just human shields the left uses to take your stuff. Most poor people in America are clinically obese, own multiple cells phones, cable TVs, cars, computers, big screen TVs, have free healthcare, high-speed internet, on and on. The left is now working to slim down the poor because they are losing their effectiveness as props.
Envy is the root cause of war, murder, stealing, and voting Democrat.
