Progressivism's False Wealth Redistribution Utopia

Everyone knows that oil and water do not mix. I submit that freedom and tyranny do not mix either. There are a growing number of people in America who have come to the realization that they can vote their neighbors money out of his or her pockets and into their own. This is something that our founders warned would one day happen. It will be the downfall of our Republic because once people understand that they can live off of the labor of others, they will do so and those who work will be fewer and fewer in number until the whole scheme collapses under the weight of the burden.

We therefore have before us a choice to make—do we reverse course and strengthen that which has made America strong or do we continue down our present path and snuff out the last vestige of what America was meant to be; a place where everyone had an equal opportunity to pursue happiness and the rights to your property were protected by our constitution. This is not an easy choice once you get into the details because there are many people who have fallen for the premise that they are actually entitled to the fruits of the labor of others. They do not see why they should work when it pays more to stay at home. They cannot see that they will in fact be the down fall of the freest country this world has ever known; because, the way of life that they have grown comfortable with is unsustainable. It seems that neither side is willing to tell the truth nor if they did would anyone listen. We are on a collision course with reality and we will not be victorious. There is no army on this earth that can defeat us—that is something that we are doing to ourselves.

Fault for this predicament lies squarely at the feet of the voters, there is no one else to blame. It is the voters who elected these misguided Progressives who are in power and mistakenly believe that the most humane thing to do is to just redistribute the wealth of “those evil rich people” and give it to the poor—all the while ignoring the deleterious affects of such actions not only on the person from whom the wealth was taken but also on the recipient of said wealth. It remains to be seen whether or not they have learned their lesson and will do their homework before stepping into the voting booth this time. Do they still love freedom enough to vote for people who will defend and protect our constitution or are they so dependent upon government entitlements that they see no other way to survive than to keep voting for people who will redistribute other people's wealth into their pockets? The next election is more than a normal presidential election cycle; I believe this will be a referendum on whether or not Americans still yearn to be free and are still willing to sacrifice for that ideal because just as freedom and tyranny cannot coexist, neither can freedom and entitlements.
