I had posted this on the 5th, to be sort of original, and go somewhere I didn't think people would go. To my surprise, someone called into Rush and made the comment and now its being repeated on Garrison. In addition to their making the connection, some more news is becoming prevalent. Couple of things, the Fairness doctrine and the retaking of the 401K's support this point of view even more. I don't think this is a direction we really want to go. I challenge people to study the Great Depression, the changes that have happened in Russia and Europe and we have to learn something from that history.
In 1917 in Russia there was an election that took place in November not that much different than
ours in 2008. Unhappy people feeling hardship voted for change. By July 1918
they published their revised constitution.
You can
read it here.
These new Bolsheviks with their power took the land from the land owners and
gave it to the people. This was to restore equity to the people who did the work.
But as time went on, times got harder the Bolsheviks took the food, from
workers who just received the land they thought was theirs!!!
So while they did get the land and could work it on their own for a little
while, the government just took the output, which made owning the land
worthless. We have just elected the Bolsheviks, but now the go by the term
Democrats.
Take a look at what they are doing, as we have links below to show it. They
believe it is arrogant for the wealth builders to actually think they would
keep their wealth! America
is taking some people's land already for commercial uses for the "greater
good". With the current bail-out they are prepared to take ownership of
all the mortgages in the country. Sound familiar. The government taking steps
to own your property.
This did result in civil war as you may recall. One the people couldn't win
against superior organized forces. Output dropped for the entire country, the
people who just redistributed the wealth didn't actually know how to create
wealth or manage it. When that happens, the wealth goes away. And after more
hardship and the cold war, that government system finally failed.
Why are trying so hard to follow that path in America?
