Liberals! Riddle me this?

The expanation lies in the history of the democrat party:

The democrat party has always embraced Republican Teddy Roosevelt’s “New Nationalism.”

In a speech on August 31, 1910 in Osawatomie, Kansas TR laid out his agenda for a welfare-state, including:

-A National Health Service

-Social insurance, to provide for the elderly, the unemployed, and the disabled

-Limited injunctions in strikes (unions have always been a privileged class in welfare/socialist states)

-Federal income tax

-An inheritance tax

As to how his agenda would affect our Constitution? He couldn’t have cared less:

”This, I know, implies a policy of a far more active governmental interference with social and economic conditions in this country than we have yet had, but I think we have got to face the fact that such an increase in governmental control is now necessary.”

Democrat President Wilson (1913-1918) said, “You are not here merely to make a living. You are here to enable the world to live more amply, with greater vision, and with a finer spirit of hope and achievement. You are here to enrich the world. You impoverish yourself if you forget this errand.” He may have been the first democrat to appreciate the potential use of multiculturalism (“If it’s white or American, trash it!”) in deconstructing the Constitution, saying, “No nation is fit to sit in judgment upon any other nation.” Obama put it this way: “Every nation is exceptional in its own way.”

Democrat President Roosevelt “let it all hang out” in his speech before Congress on January 11, 1944:

“We have accepted, so to speak, a second Bill of Rights...” [which included]:

-The right to earn enough to provide adequate food and clothing and recreation

-The right of every family to a decent home

-The right to adequate medical care and the opportunity to achieve and enjoy good health

-The right to adequate protection from the economic fears of old age, sickness, accident, and unemployment.

LBJ’s Great Society became the largest redistribution of wealth program in our history. Obama is trying to “outperform” LBJ.

It is only because of the Internet, talk radio and Fox News (all non-existent a generation ago!) that we are learning the truth about the democrat party and how effective it has been in replacing our Constitution with its welfare state model:

-2/4/10 Gallup poll: 61% of liberals have a positive view of socialism.

-6/2/11 Gallup poll: 71% of democrats favor re-distributing wealth.

-9/6-9/2012 http://www.gallup.com/poll/157481/majori%E2%80%A6 Those who believe government should have more control over our lives: Republicans 15%; Independents, 29%; Democrats 67%.

-Now they have national health care, the foundation of all welfare and socialist states.

Interesting stereotypical situation you've set up there, but in both cases I don't think that either has the right to absorb so much of any market, it puts the Democratic ideals I hold dear at too much risk. I understand that that's not how people left to their own devices have ever behaved, & that's pretty much the reason that America's founders established a Federal Republic as opposed to an actual Democracy in the first place, but really it boils down to after a certain point you can only get more by taking things away from others, & that's what I'm morally opposed to.

I don't care if someone makes a million dollars in entertainment, sports, medicine, science, banking, or management. I just think it is obvious the rich need to pay taxes and they should pay more than those who need to spend most of their income on basic expenses.

No one thinks that. You are confusing one of those right talking points for the gullible with actual people and events. The liberals just want the wealthiest to pay the same tax rate they paid during the Clinton years. That doesn't really mean they hate the rich.

LOL...trolling i see has become the norm around here..

lets attempt to answer this ..shall we?

making a million dollars from movie and merchandise sales...

is completely different than making a million dollars selling investments that are graded A+ in the derivitaves market...when in fact...that mortgage is subprime...and was run thru w/ out documantation of..income...assets, or collateral...

ir is that too nuanced for the tiny little conservative mind to grasp?

Is Kobe Bryant lobbying for tax breaks?

gotta love the wee tawded stereotypes.

Celebrities earn too much money period,whether they're sports,movie,music,or business legends

There's a difference between wealth creation and wealth concentration. For example, commodities speculators make a lot of money but they don't actually make anything.

We don't think that. That is a stereotype created by the GOP party to justify them supporting monopolies and Oligarchies.

No. It's neither good nor bad....It's what you do with it once you get $$ that matters.

Do you want to butt **** the populous with it, or do you want to try to make life better that counts. THAT is where the judgment comes in, not whether you have money to begin with.

They should all pay as much percentage in taxes as the middle class.
