50% of Americans clearly want socialism, having bought hook, line and sinker into Barack Obama’s version of the Karl Marx system of “from each according to his ability; to each according to his need.”
But equally clear is the fact that the other 50% of Americans don’t want socialism, still preferring the Founders’ notion of freedom, liberty and self-governance.
For decades now, the 50% who still love freedom have been picking up the tab for the 50% only interested in free access to other people’s stuff. It’s easy to want socialism if you’re not the one who has to pay for it.
Well, if you are hell bent on reducing America to third world status with your insane visions of dancing sugarplums in some utopian society where your neighbor has no rights and you have no responsibilities, then the least you can do is pay for it yourself!
The 50% of Americans who voted against your empty suit and his anti-American Marxist agenda have been paying 97.01% of all federal taxes collected up until now. The 50% of you, who prefer Obama’s socialism, have only had to pay 2.99% of all federal taxes to date. That’s about to change…
If you want socialism, fine. But YOU pay for it!

You are so right. Australia is Socialist, but it NOTHING like the garbage being spewed by the left.
This is not socialism nearly as much as it is a blantant attempt of introducing communism. Scares the heck out of me!!!
If it were only that easy. As long as other countries are still buying our treasuries, the beast lives on."
What would happen if taxpayers just kept filing for extentions to stop the flow of money to Washington?
The author of this column is right... We can and should refuse to go down with them...
I’m listening?
Oops.... yet another unintended consequence of socialism....
Excellent article!
Each person needs to look within themseleves for what that answer may be for them. I think it will become more apparent to all as we progreess down the road to slavery.
We don’t need a Ronald Reagan at this point, we need a George Washington or Alexander Hamilton.
I agree, and many who voted for Obama are going to feel DUPED, not a good thing for Obama, or the Dem party, perhaps a tremendous opportunity for Republicans/Conservatives.
I’m not at all oppose to whatever form of battle the situation requires.
But it seems much easier to just cut off the life blood of socialism, our money...
I think there are far fewer than 50 percent of Americans who want this fascist style of Socialism 0 is delivering. To the dimwits, politics is like a game show with pop stars, and 0 is the flavor of the day. The media turns on all the hype, and the audience is mesmerized into following their wishes. Most of the voters don’t know anything about the Founding Fathers, the Constitution, Karl Marx, Capitalism or Socialism. They just want to belong to the winning team, as long as they don’t have to suffer for it. 0 is going to make all of us suffer, from the people who want to own their homes without paying for them to those who don’t want to pay for someone else’s home. Our stuff is going to be in one big mess.
All true...
And then it comes the time to pay the piper...
I wonder when the American taxpayer will figure out where his/her real power is?
“...I think most are too stupid to even know what socialism is....”
Perhaps:
1) many of Obamas supporters were naive enough to believe a media which preached that spreading of “the wealth is good for the economy”
2) many other Obama’s supporters screamed loudly about the evil greed of the rich while ignoring their own equally evil envy and coveting
They all want to live in Hilton Head... but some don’t want top pay the price of living in Hilton Head...
“Where is John Galt when you need him ??”
He is dead and, like all of Rand’s characters, childless.
The entitlement mentality reigns in America at this moment...
We can continue to tolerate it by paying for it, as if we have no choice in the matter, or we can end it by refusing to fund it...
One conservatives had better learn from the left is how to move as a unit in common interests. Conservatives want to work alone and alone, we are vulnerable. But together, he with the gold can make all the rules...
That scumbag Zero better come up with his “tax cuts for 95% of all Americans” soon.
He promised, over and over and over, right up until election day.
“But unlike their home country, at some point, those who pay will decide to stop paying in America. We threw tea in the Boston Harbor last time. This time, we will simply refuse to pay the taxes...”
No you won’t. A good definition of a conservative is one who is a “good citizen”. Good citizens are law-abiding, pay up on time, don’t get into trouble.
Tim Rice was right when he wrote of conservatives that “it hurts them more to jeer, than to applaud”.
coveting, theft, and lies are the basis of socialism and those who push it for their own power.
Coincidentally, these just happen to be sins of the big 10 magnitude.
Wait, what about murder (abortion) and adultery (liberals? please).
Oh, and the last of the horizontals - honoring forbears and tradition... nope, guess the left fails that one too.
Can we conclude that the left is anti-God, and therefore evil? Yes We Can!
