			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p> </p>
<p>This has gone too far.</p>
<p><img class="alignleft size-full wp-image-13" title="Dont Tread On Me" src="http://thewaronsocialism.files.wordpress.com/2009/07/dont-tread-on-me.jpg?w=350&#038;h=176" alt="Dont Tread On Me" width="350" height="176" /></p>
<p>It was one thing when we had a small percentage of people getting a free ride, living off of the rest of us.  But that percentage is now over 40 percent!  Yes, the bottom 40 percent of income earners in America pay <em>nothing</em> in income taxes and our new Comrade-In-Chief is clearly doing everything that he can to increase that number.  President Obama’s math is not very complex: once 51 percent of the voters pay no taxes these moochers will perennially vote in looters like Obama and Pelosi and Reid, statists who believe that the proper role of government is to seize property from the successful people in order to redistribute it to the losers who are easily fooled by the collectivists’ class warfare propaganda.</p>
<p>I will argue on this blog that collectivism, which I use as an umbrella term in order to include its cousins of Marxism and socialism and fascism and communism and Maoism, is <em>inherently</em> immoral.  I will also submit that the results of a collectivistic system are irrelevant, that the soft-slavery of collectivism is wrong in and of itself even if some alleged good comes out of it.  Using the government to get other peoples’ property is no different than pulling a gun and stealing my wallet; the government middleman does <em>not</em> legitimize it.</p>
<p>I am mad as hell and I am not going to take it any longer.  I have been a net taxpayer every single year since I turned 18.  I am the cash cow that egregiously dishonest statists want to tap to fund their unconstitutional statist agenda, which when you get down to it is simply a calculated effort to make more and more people dependent on government.  It is immensely important to note that there are collectivists and statists in both parties but they are certainly far more prevalent in the socialist, I mean, Democrat party.</p>
<p>I declare a War on Socialism.  Those statist bastards are not going to crush my kids’ chances of enjoying the American Dream.  Will you take up the banner with me?</p>
<p>I will close this brief intro post with two of my favorite related quotes:</p>
<p><em>&#8220;The problem with socialism is that eventually you run out of other peoples&#8217; money.&#8221;</em><br />
<strong>Margaret Thatcher</strong></p>
<p><em>&#8220;The inherent vice of capitalism is the unequal sharing of blessings; the inherent virtue of socialism is the equal sharing of misery.&#8221;</em><br />
<strong>Winston Churchill</strong></p>
