Obama's Redistributionist Scheme

Here we have a FoxNews video that features Obama talking with a plumber who is clearly a "bitter clinger" because he objects to The Anointed One's plane to tax him and give the money away to everyone else who doesn't want to work for it.

Plumber to Obama: “Your new tax plan is going to tax me more. Isn’t it?”

Obama: “It’s not that I want to punish your success, I just want to make sure that everybody that is behind you, that they have a chance for success too. I think that when you spread the wealth around, it’s good for everybody.”

This is, of course, the very heart of Marxism. There was a time when the Democrats were against this sort of thinking, although they wanted to "help" the little people. At that point the Dems thought they could do so without remaking the country. But that is no longer the case. Now they are full fledged leftists who will destroy the America that we still fight to maintain. They have been this way for some time, but now the mask is really off since they think they can finally get away with it. And they just might too if enough Americans let them. And like all Marxists, they deny the reality that when this scheme is tried it is always a failure and leads to the collapse of the country in question.

Always.

The fundamental problem for conservatives is how to get a significant number of non-political people to notice that the left is trying to manipulate them into supporting their own enslavement. There is no doubt that the Democrats want to take this country into socialism, but many people don't pay close attention to politics and are thus unaware. The challenge is to get the message out because most of those people would not agree with that agenda if they understood it.

The key here is that on our side we need leadership that is straightforward and unapologetic about naming names and calling a spade a spade. That doesn't mean one has to be overly hostile and negative, but our leaders need to stop playing patty-cake with the liberals, because the Dems and the left-media are not going to give us any style points anyway.

We need to be aggressive and pro-active at all times about naming the leftist agenda for what it is; an attempt to destroy this country and replace it with something else.

Nothing less will do.
