The only reason that democrats aren't totalitarian and murderous are because they can't get away with it...yet. But why don't you talk to the governors of Virginia and New York and their infanticide. Gotta give 'em credit, they're trying like hell to become like the USSR and China.

Socialism is a philosophy of failure, the creed of ignorance, and the gospel of envy, its inherent virtue is the equal sharing of misery.”

From Ayn Rand:

America’s abundance was created not by public sacrifices to "the common good," but by the productive genius of free men who pursued their own personal interests and the making of their own private fortunes. They did not starve the people to pay for America’s industrialization. They gave the people better jobs, higher wages and cheaper goods with every new machine they invented, with every scientific discovery or technological advance—and thus the whole country was moving forward and profiting, not suffering, every step of the way.

2. From Milton Friedman:

Well first of all, tell me: Is there some society you know that doesn’t run on greed? You think Russia doesn’t run on greed? You think China doesn’t run on greed? What is greed? Of course, none of us are greedy, it’s only the other fellow who’s greedy. The world runs on individuals pursuing their separate interests. The great achievements of civilization have not come from government bureaus. Einstein didn’t construct his theory under order from a bureaucrat. Henry Ford didn’t revolutionize the automobile industry that way. In the only cases in which the masses have escaped from the kind of grinding poverty you’re talking about, the only cases in recorded history, are where they have had capitalism and largely free trade. If you want to know where the masses are worse off, worst off, it’s exactly in the kinds of societies that depart from that. So that the record of history is absolutely crystal clear, that there is no alternative way so far discovered of improving the lot of the ordinary people that can hold a candle to the productive activities that are unleashed by the free-enterprise system.

3. From David Horowitz:

In practice, socialism didn’t work. But socialism could never have worked because it is based on false premises about human psychology and society, and gross ignorance of human economy. In the vast library of socialist theory (and in all of Marx’s compendious works), there is hardly a chapter dev**ed to the creation of wealth to what will cause human beings to work and to innovate, or to what will make their efforts efficient. Socialism is a plan of morally sanctioned theft. It is about dividing up what others have created. Consequently, socialist economies don’t work; they create poverty instead of wealth. This is unarguable historical fact now, but that has not prompted the left to have second thoughts.

4. From Ludwig von Mises:

The champions of socialism call themselves progressives, but they recommend a system which is characterized by rigid observance of routine and by a resistance to every kind of improvement. They call themselves liberals, but they are intent upon abolishing liberty. They call themselves democrats, but they yearn for dictatorship. They call themselves revolutionaries, but they want to make the government omnipotent. They promise the blessings of the Garden of Eden, but they plan to t***sform the world into a gigantic post office. Every man but one a subordinate clerk in a bureau. What an alluring utopia! What a noble cause to fight!

5. From Mark J. Perry:

As we’ve learned from countless examples throughout history, including now Venezuela, the main difference between capitalism and socialism is this: capitalism works.

6. From Margaret Thatcher:

The trouble with Socialism is that eventually you run out of other people's money.

That is Utopian bulls**t.

People need to work for what they want or for where they wish to get in life.

If someone inherits a fortune from his or her parents, so be it -- somewhere along the way that money was earned and it's perfectly right that people's children should get it.

For those of us who weren't born into wealth, it's not their job to support us, it's our job to go after our own wealth -- via hard work, vision, investment, wh**ever. That's called the pursuit of happiness.

As soon as these i***ts start going after the money of those who have the most, those who create jobs for others, etc, human nature steps in -- suddenly those jobs dry up, the rich move to other places, innovators stop innovating since they are penalized for making a lot of money. This Utopian thing has failed and brought more misery every time than there was before, yet the same really, really stupid people keep trying to bring it back for an encore right here in the easiest country for anyone who's willing to work hard and pursue their dreams to realize those dreams -- once you start taking from them to finance the lazy, the non-achiever, the career parasite, things never improve for the L,NA and CPs you think you're "helping," but you also bring down those who worked hard for what they have and, unfortunately, those are the very people who create opportunities for everyone else.

Did we ever. And they keep taxing us to the hilt. Maybe we haven’t seen anything yet.

Liberals want everyone to look different and think the same. Liberals want the same outcome for everyone no matter the amount of effort put in by individuals.

Gatsby, Truman retired after serving two terms. In some way he was a remarkable person. Although he was part of an old fashioned Democratic Party political machine, he was a man of honor and courage. He went bankrupt because of a failing men's clothing store, but spent decades repaying those that he felt he owed business debts.
He was a World War One combat veteran, and fought in battles as a Captain. He took full responsibility for everything that happened on his watch, He saved Europe from c*******m through the Marshall Plan.

Well the Demon-crates & the Republicans both have talked about cutting or taking your Social Security they call it an Entitlement to hear them say it it's free an we never paid into or deserve it that we get more than we pay into.
Trump said he would not take it that people payed into an need be honored get it back . I seen Mitch McConnell years ago on Charlie Rose show when Obama was in office and McConnell said that we need to get rid of this social security because it's nothing for people to live to be a hundred years old now ( bull crap ) . McConnell said Obama wanted to take it to but he didn't want to touch that right now I guess he was creating enough evil on its own lot other ways.
Be lucky we have president that wants us to get our Social Security an admits we paid into it. We all need pray we see what there doing an we know they don't care they took our jobs , don't educate our kids , tax us unjustly , everything is free to them but not us . They v**e there self's raises while we starve & barley get by . We have an illegal IRS , Corporate Welfare , Corporations commit fraud break every crime everyday write their own policies you might as well say laws unjust , they pay no taxes an buy there own stock back to keep there prices up. They control all food , all products , sports , trade , schools , any & all that's done bought sold , patents , banks , court law suits , strawman.
Even if you develop a good product eventually you will be bought out sold out or Corporation will make that product and make sure you go out of business so they will control it .
People pray seriously we need Justice . Our government has wasted enough our time money and in our business all we do . There nothing but but wipes that never worked honest day there life's . God help us .

EXCELLENT quotes, I'm saving these

Big Dolly

And besides, if Democrats wanted Socialism, then why isn't Bernie Sanders the Democratic candidate, hmm? And if Donald Trump eliminates the payroll tax, then what happens to Social Security?

John Meoff

It is a Ponzi scheme & has been demonstrated to be just that numerous times by Austrian and Chicago school economists. When former Democrat John Connally ran for president, he cited the fact that it took just 19 months for a Social Security recipient to rec**p all of what he had paid into the system.

Big Dolly

Yes, I remember my mom talking about that.

Big Dolly

Amen and AMEN!!!
