We're losing our country.

Obama needs nearly 84 Billion more dollars for fighting the Global Contengency Plan or whatever. The scary thing is that Obama, since his inauguration, has proposed more budget dollars than has ever been proposed in the history of our country combined. This shouldd scare everyone. Our President has no intentions of repaying this money. He wants complete and total individualism implosion and government dependency. 40,000 of New York City's 8,000,000 people are responsible for nearly 80% of the city's total operating budget; moreover, the percentage who approve of capitalism in the latest Rasmussen poll (53%) is very close to the percentage of the population that pays (or belongs to a family that pays) any federal income tax (as of 2006, 59%). Indeed, since the top 50% paid more than 97% of all federal income collected in 2006, it is safe to say that the proportion who support capitalism, as opposed to socialism, is almost identical in size to the percentage of Americans who earn enough actual income to pay material income taxes. If you're too stupid to understand this, I'll summarize. If you don't pay taxes, why wouldn't you want to be taken care of by our Government? For nearly 200 years, this country was the the technology, military, humanitarian superpower becaue of its capitalistic ideals. Capitalism inherently breeds competition and prosperity. Will certain people that don't strive to achieve suffer? Of course, but everyone, and I mean everyone, regardless of race, background, broken homes, religion, sexual orientation, has a chance to achieve greatness. Punishing this achievement, apologizing for America, and denigrating capitalism is all that our President does these days. If people don't wake up and realize that what has made this country great, is exactly what our leader, our President, is trying to eradicate, we're all doomed for statism mediocrity.

Minnesotans will regret the hell out of this one

Minnesota citizens went out in droves this past winter and apparently confused their hatred for the winter weather, with their hatred for themselves and basically elected Al Freakin Franken. This is beyond electing an inexperienced socialist rookie Senator from Illinois for President. This guy has never produced an articulate thought. He's failed at every endeavor since SNL and even that's arguable. Air America, The Franken Factor...bankrupt...hence the liberal's proposed Fairness Doctrine which is wildly unconstitutional, but that's neither here nor there. Nonetheless, Franken's lead is now 312 votes out of 2.9 million. It would take an act of God for this not to come to fruition. Despite my dear friends from Minnesota, I have to say, excluding them, the citizens of Minnesota get what they deserve. They'll get six years of this screw up. If America can withstand the next four years, I think things will change dramatically. If they don't, then you can surmise that what I've prophosized about, regarding the populous voting themselves the treasury, has arrived. In that case, this is all futile and I'll see you at the Welfare office because we're all working for nothing. Why would I bust my ass for my government to take it from me. Doctors, lawyers, executives...from each according to their ability, to each according to their need. This isn't propaganda people. This is the grim reality of the citizens of Minnesota and the United States of America.

Obama Wants to Redistribute 40% of Your Child's Halloween Candy...Oh and Your Money.

I have been trying to find the positive attributes of Barack Obama, especially since he'll probably be our President. For instance, his ears are kind of funny. And, I think it would be awesome to see the President playing pickup basketball games at Rucker Park on 155th in Manhattan. All joking aside though, I think that the President should always be respected. You can disagree with ideology, personal behavior, but the Office of the Presidency should be respected. This latest interview from Chicago Public Radio in 2001, however, is the proverbial straw. It's not our right to have money. It's not our right to be fiscally stable. Our rights are simply the protection from infringement from the governement or any other party that would affect our lives, our liberties, or our properties. Socialism has never worked. In an article, Why Socialism Failed, Mark J Perry writes about it's shortcomings.

"Socialism is the Big Lie of the twentieth century. While it promised prosperity, equality, and security, it delivered poverty, misery, and tyranny. Equality was achieved only in the sense that everyone was equal in his or her misery.

In the same way that a Ponzi scheme or chain letter initially succeeds but eventually collapses, socialism may show early signs of success. But any accomplishments quickly fade as the fundamental deficiencies of central planning emerge. It is the initial illusion of success that gives government intervention its pernicious, seductive appeal. In the long run, socialism has always proven to be a formula for tyranny and misery.

A pyramid scheme is ultimately unsustainable because it is based on faulty principles. Likewise, collectivism is unsustainable in the long run because it is a flawed theory. Socialism does not work because it is not consistent with fundamental principles of human behavior. The failure of socialism in countries around the world can be traced to one critical defect: it is a system that ignores incentives.

In a capitalist economy, incentives are of the utmost importance. Market prices, the profit-and-loss system of accounting, and private property rights provide an efficient, interrelated system of incentives to guide and direct economic behavior. Capitalism is based on the theory that incentives matter!"

I'm no Warren Buffett. I didn't learn economic principles from Ben Graham, but I can deduce that there are no incentives if your income is redistributed. What's the point of success? If the principles are, "From each according to their abilities, to each according to their needs," as Marx insisted, then why excel in anything?

There needs to be an explanation of this video by Barack Obama, but I bet you won't even get a peep of this on most news networks. This level of biased journalism is unprecedented. I hope America is more awake than we appear.
