In the Cold War, we were determined, and, thanks to Reagan, finally defeated the threat of Communism when the Soviet Union dissolved.  However, it seems that we neglected to defeat such Marxism here in our own land.  And that is the treat that is looking us square in the face this very day, and more importantly, in this very important upcoming election. 

It is frightening to hear all of the candidates with a "D" behind their name speak of what they are "promising" they will "change."  Whether or not they will follow through on such promises is another story; look at the "promises" that Pelosi and company promised after seizing our Congress.  They must be batting around the Mendoza Line, at best.  Regardless if they will or will not follow through on their Marxist speech, it should be telling enough that they are at least vocalizing such wishes.  And what is their big, albeit homogeneous, idea?  Roll back the tax cuts on the rich and pay for health care for the poor and/or children.  For a moment, never mind the fact that these people are completely ignorant of economics, and just focus strictly on the precise Communist style in which they advocate.  The basic, asinine idea of income redistribution is straight out of socialism.  Who are these people trying to please?  Marx, Lenin, and Stalin are dead; there is no need to please them.  Moreover, there is no need to carry on their legacy.  Personally, I would not want to be caught dead carrying on such legacy.  Apparently they find such a thing noble, however. 

There is no reason why we should punish the rich to favor the poor.  The simple fact is that everyone has the same opportunity, it is what a person does with the opportunity that either results in being taxed in the 30%s or having that tax money benefit himself or herself.  Of course there is often no personal accountability or self-reliance any longer, which apparently makes anyone entitled to take from anyone else, in a completely legal fashion nonetheless.  And this is what the people with the "D" behind their name love.  They want to promise "free" health care, but they rarely, if ever, tell how it is free.  I doubt the ignorant people are smart enough to realize that little in life is free.  All of the hundreds of billions upon hundreds of billions of dollars to support such a Marxist health care system has to come from somewhere.  That is where, in the true Marxist fashion, income redistribution comes in.  And, yet, hypocritically they complain how much the War on Terror is costing us.  I guess if that money was socially redistributed from the rich to the poor it would then be fine.  But may I ask, what good is “free” health care when you are dead, maimed by some Islamofascist?  That “free” Marxist healthcare won’t bring you back to life, I’m pretty sure of that anyway.

Why is this?  It is not the problem of the "rich" that the “poor” don’t have health coverage.  The “rich” made it for themselves, they did what they had to do to survive and achieve what they wanted.  So why is it that others are entitled to their money?  It is theirs and they can do much better with it than the government can.  The responsibility of the “rich” isn’t to provide no-cost health care to the “poor;” they have enough to do and enough to spend their money on, like creating new businesses which then creates new opportunities for the poor.  To advocate such income redistribution that would make Karl Marx smile should scare us all, scare us all to the point of staring fear in its socialist face and say no more.  We defeated it once and we can defeat it again.  All the Democrats are right (I suppose there is a first time for everything), we do need change.  We can start at no more socialist Marxist ideas, regardless how well they are hid behind the veil of “it’s good for the poor and the rich are evil.” 

“Change” this, “change” that.  Ironically, that’s exactly what they want; not change, rather, our change; billions upon billions of dollars of it.
