Socialists are also Greedy

Socialists often try to demean the people that oppose them by saying anyone who is on the Right is greedy. They are so successful with this argument that everyone is familiar with the details.  So, I won't rehash them here. They seem to feel that the only way anyone can be wealthy is by lieing, cheating and stealing and then using the money to bribe politicians. Socialists use this reasoning to justify using the power of government to take wealth from the people on the Right and redistribute it to those they feel need it more. The Left wins many converts to its side in this way from among those who benefit from this way of thinking. It is very hard to resist free money. Most just think of it as coming from the government and not any one individual. Those who do think of where the money is coming from think that it is coming from rich people who don't work for it in the first place. In some way that I don't understand, this is supposed to make it OK. After all, leaving aside the issue of whether the rich work for their money or not, the people who are taking the hand out certainly didn't work for it.

What these people don't realize is that the government doesn't just tax the rich to get the money. They also borrow hundreds of billions of dollars from other countries each year. Chief among them is China. The Chinese government, like most governments, gets its money from its people. Now, add to this the fact that there is no way in Hell that we are ever going to be able to pay the money back without devaluing our currency and you will see that the leftists of this country are also stealing from the much, much poorer people in foreign lands to buy the loyalty of the poor in this country. I contend that, as a direct result, the poor in this country are far better off than the poor in any other country on Earth. In fact, they are even better off than the middle class in many third world nations. We have poor people that are far fatter than even the wealthy in many foreign countries. I have seen them myself. How's that for Greed?
