Well Social Contract meaning SS and Medicare, programs we pay into, sounds real good but I don't think thats all that OL'BO has in mind.
I believe he includes all those who aren't working, for whatever reason, in that scenario.
In other words the producers should be taking care of the takers.
The takers have no problem taking anything they can get. They could care less who provides the money as long as its there for the taking. They don't give a rats ass about anyone but themselves and their needs.
"the social compact" goes back to jean jacques rousseau and is considered the basis for the right to govern since the beginning of political philosophy.
but i'm really glad the wackos are reading the rightwingnut blogosphere.
Social Compact
n
(in the theories of Locke, Hobbes, Rousseau, and others) an agreement, entered into by individuals, that results in the formation of the state or of organized society, the prime motive being the desire for protection, which entails the surrender of some or all personal liberties
Obama fiscal policy: Tax the rich - preserve social compact
Wednesday, appearing at George Washington University, President Barack Obama gave a major policy speech on the budget, and in so doing offered a vision of America's future Democrats can support. In short, Obama promised to tax the rich, and preserve the social compact.
Obama presented a vision that is in stark contrast to a vision advocated by Republicans. Republicans would slash entitlement programs serving the least fortunate while giving a tax cut to the most wealthy.
Obama was clear. The Republican vision of special favors and tax breaks for the rich and powerful, paid for by the poor and powerless, would not be tolerated. The wealthy would not be serviced at the expense of seniors and children, health and education.
Obama was direct and forthright. Obama promised the Bush era tax cuts would not be extended. Obama promised he would not allow Medicare to be turned into a voucher program. Obama promised to preserve the social compact.

Okay, what does he mean by Social Compact?
Does he mean you have to give up your freedoms to survive? Does he want to take care of us but we must give him our freedoms in return?
Why would a Marxist/Socialist choose this phrase?
The meaning is clear to me, but is it to you?

Yes, it is very clear to me. You have a right wing brain. It is totally controlled by fear and words. Those words create monsters in your tiny little mind.
A social compact or a social contract would be a proper description of programs like SOCIAL Security and Medicare. The people pay into the program, and in return, they receive SOCIAL programs.
The meaning is clear to me, but is it to you? Or is it a CONSPIRACY?

The takers have no problem taking anything they can get. They could care less who provides the money as long as its there for the taking. They don't give a rats ass about anyone but themselves and their needs. Of course don't hold your breath for them to take care of themselves. Ain't gonna happen. After all we have a Govt that has no problem shoveling money their way. Of course its earned by the producers but what the hey.
I believe Ol'BO said "Spread the wealth" did he not. Yours, mine and ours?? Social Compact. Yep.

Don't know about the Marxist/Socialist stuff, but the word was good enough for the people on the Mayflower. I think I'll go with what they meant by it. The meaning may be clear to you, but that doesn't mean it's right.
hmm During the speech about social compact, he kept saying his vision of america.....what is his vision?...there lays the answer to what he actually means about social compact. Just lose the rhetoric and speak plainly what his visions are.....lookig at all his programs he has implemented and is trying to implement it becomes what the poster said. but he never speaks plainly......

You see Obama is very clever. He can openly say something that if you take everything into consideration is frightful, but there's always an avenue for plausible-deniability.

Social Compact, not contract.
It means giving up some or all of your freedoms to get security in return.
Btw, You assume a stereotype. That all wealth is gained by theft. Some if not most is derived from providing a service.

Hey man. Thanks for the claification on the compact. I saw part of this on O'Reilly last night. Too bad I didn't catch the whole thing. As fpr giving up freedoms?? It woudl take a hell of a lot for me to give up mine.
I agree that most wealth is earned by good folks who work every day.
Of course we also have those who produce and provide nothing. They take anything they can get via Govt Social programs. They have no incentive to to anyting else. The Takers.

To take from one because it is thought that his own industry and that of his father's has acquired too much, in order to spare to others, who, or whose fathers have not exercised equal industry and skill, is to violate arbitrarily the first principle of association -- the guarantee to every one of a free exercise of his industry and the fruits acquired by it.

You forgot the other possibility! You're paranoid.

Ah, so it was ol' Mr. Luftah that whacked the low-IQ hornet's nest.
