What's "REDISTRIBUTION OF WEALTH" Mean?

Doctor Toms Rant - Blogged


When he proposed to redistribute wealth, Obama meant that the system has to
find a "trick" way to transform your wealth into government's hands.
Government will then distribute that wealth to others of its choosing.

Your work and your wealth will belong to the government "in the name of
society"; in other words, it will belong to the collective.  Actually,
though, your work and your wealth will belong to the elite of the
government, who will decide who and what is given your money.  

This is what "redistribution of wealth" means in Obama's philosophy;
                           It is also the basic principle of communism.

The meaning of the "redistribution" of wealth is official government
stealing and the end of your freedom.  It is the beginning of your forced
sacrifices for your leader, your government, and your society.  This leads
to a permanent realignment of power in society, as has been seen in Europe,
or the rise of a dictator, as has been seen frequently in communist society.

Obama's America is a communist society.  As history shows, he will bring
about this way of life by the following means:

1. Transforming private property into collective property. 

The right to individual private ownership of property is sacred in America.
American society is based on a person's right to the fruit of his labors,
not to mention his ancestors' labors.  The government has no right to take
these away. 

Under redistribution of wealth philosophy imposed by government-- and of the communist system - you have no personal right to your work, property, or inheritance.

2. Destroying the initiative and creativity of people.

America's wealth and prosperity were created by individuals with the great
desire and creativity encouraged by a free society.  Many Americans started
at a lower income and with no prior wealth.  Andrew Carnegie, Henry Ford,
Bill Gates, and Steve Jobs, among others, started with essentially nothing
and built huge enterprises.

Creativity and working hard were emphasized by many successful Americans
during their lives and after their deaths.  Andrew Carnegie, for example,
felt so strongly that each generation should make its own way that he left
the bulk of his estate to charity.

The successes and consequent contributions of these "wealthy" people create
growth and opportunities for other Americans, resulting in more success and
wealth for America as a whole.  But eliminating from society individual
power and desire curtails and squashes the drive for success.

A government does not create wealth.  It is the private sector, where new
businesses are started and flourish, that allows opportunity and wealth to
expand.  The private sector is responsible for economic growth.

As America's successful become wealthy, they are able to give more and
support others, be it through research projects, schools, or the arts.
Throughout history, it has been the wealthy who have commissioned fine art,
musical compositions, museums, and other monuments of civilization.

3. Increasing the poverty of all who depend on government for basic needs.

Government redistribution will not help the poor.  History has shown that
redistribution of wealth makes all poor. 

In communist societies like China, Russia, Romania, etc., there was and
there is no equality of classes.  Rather, there exist millions of poor
people under a small, elite group of communist rich who never care about
helping poor people.

History shows example after example of communist systems that have
collapsed, each of which made promises like equality and justice and failed
to deliver.  But each of these collapses took millions of lives and many
generations, as people discovered the lies and finally fought the system
only at length.

American society is well-known for its compassion for and charity to the
poor.  Many programs, both private and public, are in place to help those
seeking to overcome poverty.  Yes, many in society believe we should be
doing even more.  But one must remember that poor people are part of our
society who need to be helped, but not enabled. 

We must not be stopped by the pressure of political correctness to
acknowledge that many people have greater abilities than others -- artistic
or musical skills, abilities in mathematics or science, in leadership, in
business, and so forth.  Therefore, as people are different in abilities and
effort, fairness of reward requires such differences.  This is in fact the
true "fair shake" we hear so much about today in politics.

 We have to decide if we want to elect a president who will bring us back to the American values of free market and free opportunities to pursue the American dream, or if we want to elect a president who will take us into socialism and communism -- in other words,the end of our freedom, where government controls, dictates to, and owns us.

                  Redistribution of wealth means not
                                       equality, fairness, or justice, but
rather poverty, slavery, and a complete lack of freedom.
