Socialist ideas gaining sway among the uninformed

Posted 20 Oct 2008 in Democrats, liberals, socialism

commielogobamaRasmussen puts some numbers to the kind of empty-headed pap I’ve been hearing from some of the liberals with whom I work. Apparently they believe it’s a good thing to steal from those who are productive and give to those who are not, and they want to use the government to force others to fund their notion of fairness. Maybe they believe Obama’s got some magical ability to make socialism’s failed ideology work.

John McCain now says it’s socialism, but Barack Obama insists, “When you spread the wealth around, it’s good for everybody.”

Forty-four percent (44%) of voters agree with Obama’s statement while 42% disagree in a new Rasmussen Reports national telephone survey.

Sixty-nine percent (69%) of Democrats think their candidate is right, but 78% of Republicans disagree. . . .

Sixty-three percent (63%) of voters under 30 agree with Obama’s statement while 33% disagree. A plurality of those over 30 take the opposite view.

I still don’t understand why these people who believe in socialism don’t put their money where their mouth is and move to a socialist country rather than try to erode our country into another example of Marxism’s abject failure. Or, barring that, why they don’t sign over their entire paycheck to the government and suck off the public teat for their sustenance.
