[Rhodes22-list] The way things are ... (Political)

[Tootle]

The other day I posted that I thought the members of this forum were in my
opinion equal to or of greater intellect than Obama.

Then yesterday I caught a news video of an interview with a Black Lady in
Florida after an Obama rally.  She said to the reporter, “I am voting for
Obama because I will not have to buy gas or pay mortgage payments.”

I do not have a Utube reference, I leave that to the experts among us.  But,
to willingly accept this ladies reasoning … , I now have to question others…

I guess many believe in the efficacy of government provided medical care
too.  I understand that the truth just ain’t as sheep believe.  Fema, Fannie
Mae, etc. just being illustrations of real results.  

Why do the most of the best doctors from socialized countries come to the
USA?  The truth speaks in two answers.  First is why the USA is the first
choice of any seeking emigration.  The second is that professional medical
practice under Socialism (call it any name that makes you comfortable) is
not professionally satisfying.  

For those who seek to call government control of medical care anything but
Socialism which is otherwise Marxism and claiming it is not, is just lying
to either yourself or others.  

Such self deception is no different from what that lady believes.

Obama has admitted that he is a Progressive, Socialist or what ever you may
tag him.  Yes he may have other attributes such as Charisma, but then so did
Hitler, Lenin, Mao, Castro, etc. 

Are there any who lost relatives under the above and still support Obama?
I never knew the relatives I lost.  However, I understand Socialism, Marxism
was at the cause.

Is not having lost relatives to Marxism a justification to support Obama? 
Then you must have the same reasoning ability of that lady in the news.

The American Capitalists system has created the highest standard of living
ever achieved for mankind.  And Obama and socialist programs will destroy
it.  And then what will your grandkids have?  Will they even understand what
was lost?

Why is understanding human behavior and wealth important?  Reread the post
about Ronald Reagan and the Red Hen (see below).  For those like Obama who
believe in using government power to distribute wealth, they forget the most
import fact.  That is people's work or efforts create wealth.  When they
lose control of their work product, then their output ceases.

Addendum:  
Red Hen 

A modern day little red hen may not sound like or appear to be a quotable
authority on economics but then some authorities aren't worth quoting. 

About a year ago I imposed a little poetry on you. It was called "The
Incredible Bread Machine" and made a lot of sense with reference to matters
economic. You didn't object too much so having gotten away with it once I'm
going to try again. This is a little treatise on basic economics called "The
Modern little Red Hen." 

Once upon a time there was a little red hen who scratched about the barnyard
until she uncovered some grains of wheat. She called her neighbors and said
'If we plant this wheat, we shall have bread to eat. Who will help me plant
it?' 

"Not I, " said the cow. 

"Not I," said the duck. 

"Not I," said the pig. 

"Not I," said the goose. 

"Then I will," said the little red hen. And she did. The wheat grew tall and
ripened into golden grain. "Who will help me reap my wheat?" asked the
little red hen. 

"Not I," said the duck. 

"Out of my classification," said the pig. 

"I'd lose my seniority," said the cow. 

"I'd lose my unemployment compensation," said the goose. 

"Then I will," said the little red hen, and she did. 

At last the time came to bake the bread. "Who will help me bake bread?"
asked the little red hen. 

"That would be overtime for me," said the cow. 

"I'd lose my welfare benefits," said the duck. 

"I'm a dropout and never learned how," said the pig. 

"If I'm to be the only helper, that's discrimination," said the goose. 

"Then I will," said the little red hen. 

She baked five loaves and held them up for the neighbors to see. 

They all wanted some and, in fact, demanded a share. But the little red hen
said, "No, I can eat the five loaves myself." 

"Excess profits," cried the cow. 

"Capitalist leech," screamed the duck. 

"I demand equal rights," yelled the goose. 

And the pig just grunted. 

And they painted "unfair" picket signs and marched round and around the
little red hen shouting obscenities. 

When the government agent came, he said to the little red hen, "You must not
be greedy." 

"But I earned the bread," said the little red hen. 

"Exactly," said the agent. "That's the wonderful free enterprise system.
Anyone in the barnyard can earn as much as he wants. But under our modern
government regulations productive workers must divide their products with
the idle." 

And they lived happily ever after, including the little red hen, who smiled
and clucked, "I am grateful, I am grateful." But her neighbors wondered why
she never again baked any more bread.
