Crush Liberalism

Michelle Obama channels Marx and other Democrats

Pardon the redundancy in the headline.  Anywho, from Shelly O:

Should she become first lady, she said she’d focus on family issues.

“If we don’t wake up as a nation with a new kind of leadership…for how we want this country to work, then we won’t get universal health care,” she said.

“The truth is, in order to get things like universal health care and a revamped education system, then someone is going to have to give up a piece of their pie so that someone else can have more.”

This, ladies and germs, is a classic case of the economic ignorance displayed by the left.  It’s this mentality that causes morons like Shrillary to say that “We’re going to take things away from you on behalf of the common good.”

See, liberals believe that our economic “pie” is fixed in size.  Those of us who understand how the real world (i.e. capitalism) works realize that the economic “pie” can be expanded.  As wealth expands, so does economic opportunity for everyone…yes, everyone.  Notice I said that opportunity, and not the outcome, expands for everyone?  If you’re a lazy #ss, then while your economic opportunity may grow, your outcome will not, and voting Democrat isn’t going to change that.

Anywho, back to my Econ 101 lesson.  Private enterprise and the free market provide the best opportunity for improving the standard of living in this country…not government!  Government confiscates the fruits of labor from producers and bleeds investment and expansion capital from the market, then turns around and squanders this money by feeding inefficient and incompetent services that it can’t manage properly.

As government continues to screw up those services, it confiscates even more working capital from the producers to further feed its bloated incompetency.  Need proof?  How about the imperial federal government’s unconstitutional incursion into education?  The feds confiscate and spend more and more on education every year (over 58% increase since 2000, inflation-adjusted), yet I challenge you to find anyone who thinks we’ve seen improvement to the tune of 58%!  Yet Shelly O and her ignorant cohorts tell us we’re not spending enough.

Shelly O and her hubby, as well as most Dems out there, have no desire to see the “pie” grown.  They believe that it is government, and not society, that should control the dimensions of the “pie”, and that the “pie” is to be distributed, not earned.  They want to confiscate more of the existing “pie” to redistribute it even less efficiently than they already are.  Only we can stop them!
