An undercurrent of socialism has existed within the elite of our country for well over 100 years. Their sinister work has persisted and is now positioned us so that far too many believe it when they hear Senator Bernie Sanders espouse his socialistic message.  Unfortunately the fact is that his message is representative of today's progressive liberal Democrat left party. Some may balk at that but facts are the facts.  Quote: "Socialism is coming,” J.A. Wayland, publisher of Appeal to Reason, predicted at the dawn of the last century. “It’s coming like a prairie fire and nothing can stop it.”  More than 100 years later, American socialists speak with similar ebullience. A 74-year-old candidate who once produced a hagiographic documentary about Wayland’s friend, employee, and hero Eugene Debs runs for president as the vehicle of their faith in future.  “And yes, my policies will demand that the top one percent and the largest corporations in this country start paying their fair share of taxes,” Bernie Sanders told MSNBC last year.  The top one percent currently pay 44 percent of federal income taxes and the bottom 45 percent don’t pay, according to the Tax Policy Center. If one percent shouldering 44 percent of the income tax burden represents paying less than a “fair share,” what number, precisely, does Sanders regard as just?"    http://spectator.org/articles/65604/socialism-nightmare-never-dies

 

Can any sane individual agree with sleazy politicians who claim that taxing the rich more than they already do is a really good idea?  Quote: "Too many Americans are ignorant of tax issues and thus fall easy prey to the nation’s charlatans and quacks."  And, "The following represents 2012 income tax data recently released by the Internal Revenue Service, compiled by the Tax Foundation (http://tinyurl.com/j5yr8cd). The top 1 percent, 1.37 million taxpayers earning $434,682 and more, paid 38 percent of all federal income taxes. The top 5 percent, those earning $175,817 and more, paid 59 percent. The top 10 percent of income earners, those earning $125,195 and up, paid 70 percent of all federal income taxes. The top 25 percent, those earning $73,354 and up, paid 86 percent. The bottom 50 percent, people earning $36,055 and less, paid a little less than 3 percent of federal income taxes. According to estimates by the Tax Policy Center, slightly over 45 percent of American households have no federal income tax liability." https://www.lewrockwell.com/2016/03/walter-e-williams/every-dime-youve-got/

Read and ponder this.  If not already you will be concerned once you are done.  Quote: "These ‘less than modern/primitive’ immigrants are contaminating the more advanced nations that think they are being kind and humanitarian as they allow the more primitive immigrants to enter and take over the modern nations. The result is that the more modern nations will revert back to third world countries with the same conflicts, treachery and putrification that exist in the world today. And let’s not forget the ‘oh so popular ethnic cleansing.’  “Modern cultural societies cannot survive when they allow backward and primitive people to become the majority occupants of their nations. But, look around, it’s happening right now!  “’Political correctness’ will destroy the US as it smothers free speech that is one of our freedoms under the Constitution. It will lead to empowering tyrants! It has lead to the empowerment of tyrants now in control of our government. If you don’t believe me consider the fact that the sitting President does whatever he wants by the issuance of ‘Executive Orders’ rather than going through Congress as required by the Constitution.  “The Constitution is clear on who makes laws; it’s Congress not the Executive Branch of the US government.”   http://www.newswithviews.com/Wooldridge/frosty1127.html

Talking about laws.  This piece discusses the overabundance of laws that serve little or no purpose but to satisfy some constituency.  These laws cascade from federal to states to localities.  They mount and are increasingly oppressive.  Quote: "We have four levels of government in the United States and that’s four levels too many, in my honest opinion. All of them pass laws of their own. Laws they don’t follow themselves or get away with breaking. Every year, more laws are passed. Laws you are required to know because the law says that also."  https://www.lewrockwell.com/2016/03/jack-perry/feds-horrific-not-alone/
