‘Forward’ An Old Socialist Slogan
Posted: October 10, 2012
Just a few reflections on President Obama and Democrat mantras if you please:
What is “shared prosperity?” When a government takes private property by coercion and gives it to someone who has not earned it. If “government is the only thing we all belong to,” government owns us. We become its property and its slave.
Instead of deriding “trickle-down” economics and prescribing we “grow the economy from the middle class out” how about Obama getting out of the way and letting “we the People” grow the economy from the top down, bottom up, and middle class out.
It’s called Liberty! But forget about facts and common sense and go “forward” my comrades, the same phrase used by those “socialists” back in the Soviet Union to persuade people that their miserable life was only a transition to the promised utopia. Whatever happened to the USSR anyway?
