The danger remains Communism.
It was the Communist plan in 1934. It is 0bama’s Communist plan today.
2.A heavy progressive or graduated income tax. Obama working on it.
3.Abolition of all right of inheritance. Death tax only at 50% for now.
4.Confiscation of the property of all emigrants and rebels. All the tax refugees should fear this soon.
5.Centralisation of credit in the hands of the State, by means of a national bank with State capital and an exclusive monopoly. Bank Bailout and Dodd Frank almost there.
6.Centralisation of the means of communication and transport in the hands of the State. Obama is working on it.
7.Extension of factories and instruments of production owned by the State; the bringing into cultivation of waste-lands, and the improvement of the soil generally in accordance with a common plan. EPA OSHA etc.
8.Equal liability of all to labour. Establishment of industrial armies, especially for agriculture. Obama spreading the wealth around.
9.Combination of agriculture with manufacturing industries; gradual abolition of the distinction between town and country, by a more equitable distribution of the population over the country. Obama spreading the wealth around.
10.Free education for all children in public schools. Check.
The danger remains Communism.
It was the Communist plan in 1934. It is 0bama’s Communist plan today.
Not America, just the current administration!
The current administration looks, at times, all too much like Lenin’s “vanguard of professional revolutionaries” to me.
Too many people in this country DO NOT CARE if this country drifts toward communism/fasicm etc just as long as THEY get their free section 8 housing, food stamps, free cell phone, so called social security retirement, free medical and all other freebies.
Any war against communism fought in this country will be waged by a state persecuted minority.
True & for a long time now.

Please allow me to repeat my post on another thread today on the role that Obama, Geithner and the money printers have played in destroying our economy.
They are following a long-recognized playbook for destruction of the capitalist system, as described in the final paragraph below citing Keynes on Lenin:
"The printing of paper money always has been a problem for leaders who prized individual liberty and opportunity for citizens, for they recognize the inherent dangers, and the likelihood that "the People's" rights will be violated by this mechanism.
Here are just a few statements on the subject for any who wish to study the "paper money" subject, and the role this Treasury Department has played in the past 3 years. These quotes are a few on the subject from "Our Ageless Constitution".
Dr. Edwin Vieira has written extensively on the Founders' protections for liberty through their provisions for a sound money system. A search of Vieira's books and writings will provide a rich source for understanding the Founders' wisdom.
Thomas Jefferson: "Paper is liable to be abused, has been, is, and forever will be abused, in every country in which it is permitted."
". . . although the other nations of Europe have tried and trodden every path of force or folly in fruitless quest of the same object, yet we still expect to find in juggling tricks and banking dreams, that money can be made out of nothing. . . The misfortune is. . . we shall plunge ourselves in unextinguishable debt, and entail on our posterity an inheritance of external taxes, which will bring our government and people into the condition of those of England, an nation of pikes and gudgeons, the latter bred merely as food for the former."
"Stock dealers and banking companies, by the aid of a paper system [paper money] are enriching themselves to the ruin of our country, and swaying the government by their possession of the printing presses, which their wealth commands, and by other means, not always honorable to the character of our countrymen."
Then there is John Maynard Keynes observation in "The Economic Consequences of the Peace - 1920":
"Lenin is said to have declared that the best way to destroy the Capitalist System was to debauch the currency. By a continuing process of inflation, governments can confiscate, secretly and unobserved, an important part of the wealth of their citizens. By this method, they not only confiscate, but they confiscate arbitrarily; and, while the process impoverishes many, it actually enriches some. . . . Lenin was certainly right. There is no subtler, no surer means of overturning the existing basis of society than to debauch the currency. . . . (It) does it in a manner which not one man in a million is able to diagnose. . . ."
