JMH / 73: “If you look at the political trends going back nearly 40 years, two things jump out at me. One, the electorate has been asking for a change of course from the Federal Government.”

There are two classes of American voters who are engaged in Marxist class struggle, with Marxist type government managing the struggle – suppressing the middle class and favoring the proletariat class – one class with inferior rights to property and pursuit of happiness – one class with superior rights – and a third elite class looming above them all – the not-to-be-equalized equalizers – the Marxist Pigs of Animal Farm.

1. The laboring, tax-paying middle class American voter. These voters want change. They want less taxation because it is now becoming destructive of their God-given right to the pursuit of happiness – a sacred right to keep the fruit of their own labor.

2. The labor-challenged, tax-eating proletariat class American voter. These voters want change. They want more taxation of the laboring middle class because it provides them with a living not labored-for – a State-given right to acquire the fruit of someone else’s labor.

“The proletariat (non-disabled poor) will use its political supremacy to wrest, by degree, all capital (property) from the bourgeoisie (middle class), to centralize all instruments of production in the hands of the state (Marxist Government)… Of course, in the beginning, this cannot be effected except by means of despotic (unequal) inroads on the rights of property.” Karl Marx

“Property is the fruit of labor…property is desirable…is a positive good in the world. That some should be rich shows that others may become rich, and hence is just encouragement to industry and enterprise. Let not him who is houseless pull down the house of another; but let him labor diligently and build one for himself, thus by example assuring that his own shall be safe from violence when built.” Abraham Lincoln

“We all declare for liberty; but in using the same word we do not all mean the same thing. With some the word liberty may mean for each man to do as he pleases with himself, and the product of his labor; while with others, the same word may mean for some men to do as they please with other men, and the product of other men’s labor. Here are two, not only different, but incompatible things, called by the same name – liberty. And it follows that each of the things is, by the respective parties, called by two different and incompatible names – liberty and tyranny.” Abraham Lincoln
