Welcome To Europe

President Obama and the Democrats in Congress are running full steam ahead with their goal of turning the United States of America into a European socialist state. Some claim that this is all part of a conspiracy to take America down a peg in order to properly pigeonhole us into our place in the world government edicts of the New World Order. I've read all the conspiracy theory stuff online, as well as several books on the subject. I'm not going to completely discount those theories, because I am not totally convinced that they are hogwash. I'm also not totally convinced that Barack Obama and many of his minions, as well as many of the upper middle class liberals that supported him, are not closet Marxists. I am convinced, however, that with the signing of the Health Care Bill into law, that this country is about to change dramatically, and I'm not sure that the people in this country are going to go down the road to a European nanny socialist state without, at the minimum, a lot of complaining.

We now have a health care law that even ultra-liberal sites like Daily Kos are criticising. One writer there stated that now insurance companies will be able to charge whatever they want, because they will have a captive audience. Everyone must now purchase health insurance, or face fines or jail time. Despite the anti-capitalist slant to the writer's post, he's right on the mark. This is not going to make health care more affordable. It's going to become more costly, and there will be less of it. That's exactly what it's supposed to do. Make the cost of living for the working class and lower middle class expand, so that they will have to reduce their standard of living. At the same time, rationing of health care will lead to the deaths of more senior citizens. Why would the government want them to die? Because they have what is known as "corporate memory." They remember how this country used to be. Eventually, you can kill off everyone with corporate memory, and the only ones left will be the properly indoctrinated that the Left started brainwashing in full force starting in the 1960s. Once you have an entire country believing that Socialism is the only way, you now have a permanent ruling class of educated elites and the serfs that rely on them for mere survival.

The next big ticket item that the president and our congressional leaders are working on is immigration reform. Do we need another15 or 20 million unskilled "illegal citizens" using up more social services and taking jobs away from the unskilled labor pool that is made up of our least educated legal citizens? Most of the people that make up the working poor are not smart enough to go to college. That's a cold hard fact, no matter how cruel it sounds. These are the folks that if they go to college, they go there to clean the bathrooms. However, they still provide a very valuable function in our society. They are our working poor, but they are working, and after time, they may make enough money to have a little tiny place of their own. That American Dream will be denied them. In Europe, only the upper middle class and the wealthy are able to afford to own property. Force people into poverty and make them reliant on government social programs. That way they can be controlled, and if they make too much noise, there is always Euthanasia if they become too sick or "mentally defective."

All these social programs are going to cost a lot of money, and that money has to come from somewhere. There is talk about a Value Added Tax or VAT as it is commonly called. All the socialist European countries have a VAT, and I'm starting to believe that we are next. If we are going to have European levels of safety net, we are going to have to have European levels of taxation to pay for it. This is not going to sit well with the American people. The American lower middle class does not want its standard of living reduced to the standard of living level of the European lower middle class. A small business owner in this country wants to work hard and be able to live in a nice middle class neighborhood, not in a cramped appartment above his shop. In Europe, the working classes and lower middle classes have a standard of living that is slightly above the average welfare recipient here in the States. A VAT serves two purposes. It generates the necessary monies to fuel the nanny state. It also serves as a big DMZ to keep those that aspire to rise out of their social class from doing so. It keeps the working classes and lower middle classes in their place, which is just a notch above the poor. That way they can never achieve parity with the educated upper middle classes and the wealthy. It's a rationing of lifestyle that is put in place in order to satisfy the upper middle class' thirst for power and control. Socialism protects them from the masses that they despise. American liberals are no different. They have nothing but scorn and contempt for those that don't wear a tie to work in the morning.

Health care rationing, energy rationing, food rationing, "coercing" people out of their single family homes and cars...it's all coming, and the upper middle and upper class liberals are now drunk with power. The 100 year march to Socialism will take place unless the little people finally wise up and stop it in its tracks. The midterm elections in November are crucial. The upper class liberals need to be sent the message that those that work with their hands are not their servants.
