Socialism? Are You Kidding Me ???

"One of the most important reasons for studying history is that virtually every stupid idea that is in vogue today has been tried before and proved disastrous before, time and again."

-Thomas Sowell

Socialism? REALLY ??? Are there STILL people out there who "think," oops, I mean believe (obviously there is NO thinking going on) that Socialism works? As half Swede, I can tell you that Socialism has done irreversible damage to the homeland of my maternal grandparents. Do we really want to go down that path??? Socialist countries are FAILING all over the world, and their experience is SHOUTING to the world; "DON'T GO DOWN THIS ROAD, THE BRIDGE IS OUT." 

Here are the COLD, HARD, FACTS. When you tax the hell out of people to pay for cradle to grave EVERYTHING, you cause people to CHANGE their behavior. They get lazy. Guaranteed 5 weeks of vacation every year from the first year of employment, free college, free healthcare, etc. And who needs God? The State is your new god. But heavily taxed people realize that they have less money to spend on the fun things of life for themselves. So, they STOP having children who would take up more of their limited spendable income. It's just simple "Cause & Effect"... With the drop in birth rates, there are FEWER workers to support all that social welfare spending. The government has to go out and import foreigners to fill the labor force. Most of those foreigners are coming from, Muslim countries where the birth rates are 5-1 or better. But guess what, these foreigners find out that they can get on the welfare programs and NOT have to work. They can live just as good as they did back in their homelands, without having to work. And with all the children they produce draining even more of the welfare systems resources. The government has to go out looking for more foreign workers to try and keep the system funded. That darn "Cause & Effect" thing again. 

Meanwhile, the foreigners are out-procreating the native ethnic citizens by double to triple the rate. Take Sweden for an example; the Swedes are now well on their way to becoming a MINORITY in their own homeland. Soon they will be outvoted at the ballot boxes, and soon they will be living under Sharia law as Dhimmi (second class citizens). The Muslim emigrants believe they will have the numbers to take control of Sweden and Belgium by 2030. There's that "Cause & Effect" at work again. This is happening in EVERY country that embraced a form of Socialism. The English, the French, the Germans, the Greeks, and the Italians are all suffering the same fate. 

Now for those who think I'm exaggerating this whole thing, I DARE you to go read the book; "While Europe Slept: How Radical Islam is Destroying the West from Within" by Bruce Bawer. I read this book in 2006, and everything he had documented is just ACCELERATING. 

So, if you still want to go down the Highway to Hell of Socialism, go ahead and back, people like Bernie and Hillary who try to sell you on how GREAT it will be for everyone... SURE, I believe them. They live just like you and me, don't they??? Pull your head out of your butt! They're among the elite who live in multi-million dollar houses and have armed bodyguards. Oh, and let's not forget this quote; "The GOAL of Socialism is Communism."

-Vladimir Lenin 

This is why I say that George Santayana's quote is essential for ALL time and in ALL places; "Those who cannot remember the past, are condemned to repeat it."
Study your history and then THINK!
I am Whamm, let those with wisdom hear.
