Biden's societal suicide pact: Why would anyone want to fundamentally change a system that has created the freest, wealthiest, most prosperous, and most tolerant people the world has ever seen?
American Thinker ^ | 11/02/2021 | John Conlin

For the past 245 years, a significant portion of the wealth created in the entire world is in some way related to the United States. People across the globe fight to come to the USA — we must be doing something right.

Yet the Biden administration speaks of a desire to fundamentally transform the country. Why would anyone want to fundamentally change a system that has created the freest, wealthiest, most prosperous, and most tolerant people the world has ever seen? To replace it with a system of large, intrusive federal government; limited individual freedom; and high taxes? A system that has never worked in all history — generally ending in poverty, hunger, violence, and death on a massive scale?

Ask yourself, if a country could tax itself to prosperity, would there ever be any poor countries? If printing money were the same as creating wealth, would there ever again be a poor person?

Driving some of this is the transformation from the government's agents being the people's representatives to being our leaders — in effect, our bosses. This is bordering on true insanity and shows a frightening desire for collective suicide. Here's a message to those who desire this profound transformation: many of us have no desire to participate in this societal suicide pact.

There are fundamental reasons for our success. It is not because of our incredible natural resources — those are relatively common around the globe. It is not a special trait of the people — clearly, it is not "in the blood," as people from across the globe come to America and experience tremendous success.

What it is is a far superior system, starting with the Bill of Rights and the Constitution. These helped constrain government and unleashed the wisdom of millions of free people.

That’s an easy question.

Because a free, captitalistic society cannot be controlled!

Because it doesn't give politicians enough power?

Because you and your criminal family are personally benefitting from bribes given to you by our enemies or fronts for our enemies to do what you are doing?

Why? They wanna burn it down so they can rule over the ashes, that's why.

The modern democrap party platform is indistinguishable from the UNAbomber manifesto.

This is a great learning tool for some (those who bother to read it) and a wake up call/reminder to those who knew this. It’s very well laid out.

Because they are filled with hate and envy at not being able to flourish under such conditions while others have. Destroying the system will not improve their lot but it will make others miserable and that is all the Democrats/Satanists/Communists care about. Their ENTIRE existence is centered in ENVY.

Biden, like many leaders, has a Napoleon complex. In his case he is trying to destroy the country that he is supposed to lead. He is Obama on steroids.

The American system basically lets pretty average people live in America and build solid middle class lives for themselves.

The communists look at their personal situation and realize that they have built a tawdry pointless existence that makes them unhappy. They can react to this in one of two ways:

A) I am below average and although I was born in America, I lack the innate ability to succeed here, unlike immigrants who come here with nothing.
B) This system sucks. I should go into politics and tear it all down.

Talibiden, his handlers, Obama and their ilk hide behind the labal “progressive” because people recoil at the accurate term for what they are: COMMUNISTS.

Call them by that name at every opportunity. Then point out that Biden and his crowd have DELIBERATELY set about to wreck our very good economy. . . wreck to build it back like the want . . . but it damn sure won’t be better!!!!!!!!!!!!

Y’know, back in the 60’s we used to drink -
a lot

We used to take all kinds of kick-ass drugs

And showed blatant disrespect for any authority figures

Little did we know, we were undermining our entire value system...

Because they want to steal that wealth for themselves.
They are thieves.

Ayn Rand had the “why” pegged over 50 years ago.

“ Who wants a nation of law-abiding citizens? What’s there in that for anyone? But just pass the kind of laws that can neither be observed nor enforced or objectively interpreted – and you create a nation of law-breakers – and then you cash in on guilt. Now that’s the system, Mr. Reardon, that’s the game, and once you understand it, you’ll be much easier to deal with.” Atlas Shrugged. 1957.

Because the communists paid everyone off - they took over all our institutions a long time ago… Federal Reserve, Wall Street, DC, Academia, Hollywood, Media, the Security State, the Military…

They can now install complete retards in the Oval Office who literally poop their pants…and they laugh at us.

Alfred Pennyworth answers the question:

“Because some men aren’t looking for anything logical, like money. They can’t be bought, bullied, reasoned, or negotiated with. Some men just want to watch the world burn.”

Probably because China has pictures of Hunter (or the “big guy”) that are more compromising than a video of Hunter getting a “foot job” from an Asian hooker. The kind of pics that can get aircraft carriers moved and missiles launched.

Ayn Rand was right about a lot.
