The founders knew alot more about human nature than they get credit for.


Via American Thinker, John Adams, in 1787, said:
Property is surely a right of mankind as really as liberty. ... but the time would not be long before courage and enterprise would come, and pretexts be invented by degrees, ... in sharing it equally with its present possessors. Debts would be abolished first; taxes laid heavy on the rich, and not at all on the others; and at last a downright equal division of every thing be demanded, and voted. What would be the consequence of this? The idle, the vicious, the intemperate, would ... sell and spend all their share, and then demand a new division of those who purchased from them. ... anarchy and tyranny commence.

Sound like a description of our world today? Check out who pays taxes in America:


Income
Percent Taxes Paid
Top 1%
36.73%
Top 5%
58.66%
Top 10%
70.47%
Top 25%
87.30%
Top 50%
97.75%
Bottom 50%
2.25%



The top 25% of taxpayers bear the burden of almost 90% of taxes, and the top 5% pays nearly 60%!!


Reference this information the next time someone says the rich should pay their fair share.

Back in 2008, when Obama was still a candidate, he famously said this:

 "... I think when you spread the wealth around, it's good for everybody."  Obama's plan, then and now, was/is to redistribute wealth (private property) according to his definitions.  His plan is to "take from those it deems rich, and give to those it deems poor."  Or, as Karl Marx said in 1875, "from each according to his ability, to each according to his needs."  We all know how well Marx's idea worked/continue to work out."

Cloward-Piven only slightly modified. 

Again, Adams predicted Obama.  The worrisome thing is, after the ideas Obama believes become widespread ( and you know among his base it is already gospel), Adams quite correctly predicted the fall of society.

The only question now is whether it can be stopped.  We Americans missed a huge opportunity to stop the rot at the last election, but failed.  Will there be enough sane voters to stop it again at the congressional elections next year?

Tune in.
