THey don’t really believe those “principles”. Every leftist redistribution scheme is designed to take from the productive, but not to necessarily give to the leeches. They only get a token of what’s left after the “socialists” have skimmed the best off the top. It’s not to enrich the “poor”, because that could be done much more efficiently than they’ve ever managed to, granting that they ever believed in it, which I don’t. It’s about impoverishing the productive middle class, and to their (the “redistributionists”) own benefit.

The Plebeians are too stupid to know whats happening to them.

1 IN 4 AMERICANS UNAWARE THAT EARTH CIRCLES SUN

Americans are enthusiastic about the promise of science but lack basic knowledge of it, with one in four unaware that the Earth revolves around the Sun, said a poll out Friday.

The survey included more than 2,200 people in the United States and was conducted by the National Science Foundation.

Ten questions about physical and biological science were on the quiz, and the average score — 6.5 correct — was barely a passing grade.

Just 74 percent of respondents knew that the Earth revolved around the Sun, according to the results released at the American Association for the Advancement of Science meeting in Chicago.

Government causes and takes advantage of such stupidity.

I would add that beside impoverishing the middle class, the government and TPTB strive to reduce the ability of the middle class to challenge the status quo( them ).
That is why our are earnings and activities are taxed, regulated, deflated, and otherwise stolen.
It is well past time to remove these leeches and their destructive system from our lives.

Yep. It's what I tell my kids: "Have you noticed that the longer these guys are in charge, the poorer we get, but the "poor" they claim to be "helping" NEVER get any "richer??"
