Obama the Pitchfork Operator: A Remake of the Soviet Classic
david s.:
There are two major assumptions you make when trying to your approach to discussions here. Both of them mark you for a fool.
The 1st is the assumption that the federal government has the right to force a productive majority to support a non-productive minority through forced income redistribution. You apply that metric whether the discussion is about good/bad business models or personal responsibility for making a living. Your core belief is that at the behest of the few the government has the right to take from the many. It may offend you, but that is indeed the underpinning philosophy of communism, and socialism (and in socialism’s extreme form – fascism – little different from communism).
The 2nd assumption is that disagreeing with your redistribution creed is limited to the ‘right’, by which you mean republicans (and I suppose the independents like myself who are not and were never in lockstep with Obama.) It’s the second assumption that simply flies in the face of available evidence. Because there are a lot of democrats out there right now who may still be loyal party faithful while at the same time are not in lockstep with forced wealth redistribution. Open your eyes.
