No, no...every single one of them will be living in the big house and dictating to the proles. They're smarter than us, see. We can't live our lives without them making decisions for us.Actually the Nazis were National Socialists. Keep in mind that Jefferson made no distinction among liberal governments when he created America regardless of the rational they used for seizing power from the people. Jefferson gave us freedom from all liberal governments because government had been the source of evil in human history. He knew that without seeing the great 20th Century liberals: Hitler, Stalin (our liberals spied for him) and Mao. You still don't know it even after seeing the 20th Century. You'd be one of those brainwashed fools crying because your Dear Leader has passed away.
I don't imagine the Founders were thinking in terms of 'liberal' or 'conservative' and probably the terms 'communism' and 'socialism' hadn't even been coined yet. At the time the Declaration of Independence was adopted in America, there was no such thing as a government other than despotic, monarchy, feudal kingdom, or other totalitarian system. In all cases, it was the government that dictated what rights the people would or would not have.
America under the U.S. Constitution was the first government the world had ever known in which the government was charged to secure the unalienable rights of the people and then leave them alone to govern themselves in whatever way they saw fit. It was a great experiment that was successful beyond even the Founders' wildest imaginations. It produced the most free, most innovative, most creative, most inventive, most prosperous nation the world had ever known or has ever known since.
It is unfortunate that for the last 100 years, we have allowed the socialists and Marxists to chip away at the fundamental concepts of a people who are not governed but rather govern themselves. And we are slowly reverting to the monarchal and/or totalitarian systems that the Founders intended that we should be liberated from.
The assault on the "rich", i.e. job creators, via punative tax systems and oppressive regulation is just one of many ways in which the anti-freedom forces would wrest power from the people and return it to the central government which they see is the rightful dispensor of our rights.
Alas, I fear they have no idea what they do, or how much they will hate their handiwork should they succeed.
No, really. Just ask 'em.
Actually, they'll be put up against the wall as soon as their useful idiocy is no longer useful.
Theres that conspiracy theory mind of yours again.
Obama wants to raise taxes on rich people by 4% and passed the healthcare plan republicans proposed in the 90's!! This must be 1984, and we must be the proles!
Actually the interesting thing is that in 1984, reagan was more liberal than obama is today. At least by a lot of measures.
