Hillary’s socialist streak is showing

I saw a picture today of Hillary Clinton with a large banner on the wall behind her that proclaims “Shared Prosperity”.

During her speech under that banner, she proudly proclaimed that she “would help the nation overcome economic disparities”.

I view these and other statements by her as additional indications of Hillary Clinton’s desire for a socialist state. Her socialist goals at one time seemed to be limited to socialized medicine. Now it seems equally clear that she endorses the re-distribution of wealth as well.

How else to overcome economic disparities?

Hillary believes (or at least she thinks it will get her elected if she makes people “think” she believes) that everyone should make the same amount of money. Since there is no way that billions of people will do what it takes to “earn” the same amount of money, the only possible way to achieve her goal is to take it from those who earn it, and give it to those who don’t. Redistribution of wealth.

Hillary apparently believes that wealth is a bad thing . . . . unless everyone can be wealthy. Socialism resolves this dilemma by insuring that no one can become wealthy. The historical exception to this rule is those in power who decide how wealth should be distributed.

The redistribution of wealth can be accomplished in a couple of ways:

The Government decides how much wealth individuals or families or groups can earn.
The Government redistributes money from earners to non-earners through subsidized government run programs that only the earners contribute to and only the non-earners benefit from.

Socialism doesn’t work. Anyone who gives 5 minutes of unprejudiced thought to the concept can see that. If a hard worker can only earn as much as a non-worker, what will the outcome be? Will the non-worker start working harder? Hell no. Eventually the hard worker will decide to stop being the fool and will slow down to match the efforts of the non-worker! Production goes down, and entrepreneurial efforts become non existent.

The overall result is that the economic disparity gets eliminated. Everyone becomes equally poor. Except those who control the governments power!

Of course, Hillary and other socialists ignore the plain, simple fact that economic disparity is a good thing. It proves that those who are willing to work for it, and to do the things that are required (like getting an education, working hard, working smart, and making the right choices), can excel. This opportunity to excel is what drives productivity, creativity and . . . . . the American dream!
