I set and listen to the candidates that are struggling for the Democratic nomination and all I hear are empty platitudes about changing the country or leveling the playing field, attempting to institute socialism.

Socialism has been tried through history.  With a few, short lived successes it has been a miserable failure.  Even those places were the people wanted to be there the community eventually fails.  These communities were usually based on one or two personalities, when they died or left, the system could not continue.  You also will eventually have people leaving because they grow dissatisfied with how things are distributed.  A master craftsman gives up his superior work to the community and in return receives inferior goods.  Even the most dedicated of people will lose heart.

It is impossible to raise everyone up to the level of work that some are capable of, so you must bring them down to the level of the “average” person.  It is not proper to have some people better than others in a true socialistic society.  When you have the best and brightest being brought down for being better, the society will eventually lose its ability to continue existing.

There is nothing new that has been discovered in our age that makes this kind of society possible.  We are led to believe that the Democratic left has some secret formula that they are just waiting to implement the moment you vote them into the White House.  They do not have any real plans; all they have is wishful thinking and a faith that has nothing concrete to back it up.

You cannot have a utopian society.  It is impossible, the haves resent their work being taken and given to the have-nots and the have-nots are unappreciative of it because it was not their choice. 

Look at the housing projects that have been put up around the country.  Some were constructed reasonably well, some were badly designed and poorly constructed either way within a generation of their construction they had been damaged by the occupants and the civic authorities grew tired of constantly repairing them.  Eventually they degenerated to the point that the only thing left to do was tear them down, displacing large numbers of people and exacerbating an already bad situation.

Barak Obama and Hillary Clinton have nothing of substance to offer this country.  Their constant tinkering with socialism, hoping to stumble on a magic formula is nonsense.  It is irrational, to continue doing the same thing hoping for a different result.  This shows they have no real grasp of economics or people.

It is easy for them to make claims of changing society because they are isolated from the average person, surrounded by sycophants and special interest groups who are able to manipulate their time and exposure to differing opinions.  Step away from the photo opportunities and go out and talk to people on the other side of this and see how they feel having their hard work taken away to support a social engineering idea that has failed miserably these last twenty years.

I would like someone to explain to me how they will accomplish what no other country or organization has been unable to do since the advent of civilization.   How they will force people to live according to rules and ways of life these people do not believe in.  The Communists were unable to do this in Russia, they tried for over eighty years, they failed and they had absolute control over the people and society.

Regretfully they can’t tell you how.  They have no idea.

People need to be free to be.  The reality is that some will be poor and until they learn that education and hard work are the only way out of that poverty they will stay there.  If you believe that you are a victim of society then you will do nothing to help yourself and you will pass that on to the next generation to continue the cycle.
