Taxpayers dwarfed 
by tax consumers

Socialism is an economic disease. The primary purpose of our American socialism is to be used as a tool for the rulers to control the population. The rulers promise to supply the people’s needs, but when people depend on government to supply their needs, they lose their self-reliance and become like sheep.

A school teacher explains socialism to her young pupils. The boy who got 95 on a test would give 20 points to a boy who got a 55 on the same test. The teacher equalized the whole class. Every child got a passing grade. Then the boy who got a 55 decided he didn’t need to study, and the boy who got a 95 decided not to study because if he got a high grade, the authorities (teacher) would take some of his earned grade and give it to the poorer students.

The people forget that freedom and limited government made America the richest nation on earth. The socialists teach that the businessman’s profits are the cause of worker’s poverty. The socialists operate without the profit motive since they think profit is evil. Since profit is not necessary, they can use incompetent people and waste time on their projects, but profit is essential for any economy.

Without profit and competence, resources are wasted and not used efficiently. They produce less than they consume and soon bankruptcy kills their inefficient economy. Winston Churchill said it best: “The inherent virtue of socialism is the equal sharing of miseries.”

The socialists say that capitalism has failed, but it would be more truthful to say that capitalism was murdered. The weapons used were the great unpayable government debt, the greatly obese government, the Fed’s inflatable monetary system, regulatory agencies, etc.

Now, tax consumers, which include welfare people and government employees, far outnumber the taxpayers.
