"You cannot legislate the poor into freedom by legislating the industrious out of it. You don't multiply wealth by dividing it. Government cannot give anything to anybody that it doesn't first take from somebody else. Whenever somebody receives something without working for it, somebody else has to work for it without receiving. The worst thing that can happen to a nation is for half of the people to get the idea they don't have to work because somebody else will work for them, and the other half to get the idea that it does no good to work because they don't get to enjoy the fruit of their labor." --Dr. Adrian Rogers
It is obvious that Barack Obama and the progressives either think that they can legislate the poor into freedom or they are trying to tear down the America that founders envisioned with intentions of re-building it into Eastern Europe. It is my belief that they say they are legislating the poor into freedom while really they don't give hoots in hell about the poor. They use the poor to tug at the heart strings of the average nightly news watcher into surrendering their freedoms and liberties to the government, thinking that they are helping the poor. If you look at the inner cities, which the Democrats have owned for years. Since the Great Society and War on Poverty there has been BILLIONS OF DOLLARS in wealth transfer payments to the poor and indingent people in the inner cities.
I heard an African American Conservative caller to a local morning talk show here in Minneapolis/ St. Paul area state "that the Democrat Party has always wanted to the black people on the plantation, it used to be the master's plantation in the old south, and now it is the Government (dependency) plantation." Personally, I would say they don't just want to keep the african-americans on the plantation, but also to put all Americans on some form of welfare and thus depend on and vote for Democrats.
Is it too harsh to say that Obama and his administration aren't just socialists, but approaching the level of communism or facism?
