While our brave men and women fight overseas to defend our freedoms, the radical Left in this country continue trying to curb those very freedoms. America is called the land of opportunity because we have the freedom to gain from our work and not have to give it up to an oppressive central government. House Democrats are on a mission to change that. In an attempt to fund a government-run national health insurance program that will end up destroying the small businesses in this industry, the Democrats on the House Ways and Means Committee took a page right out of the Communist Manifesto and proposed taxing “the wealthy” to pay for it. We already know that the administration’s definition of “wealthy” includes the middle class, see here, but the interesting thing about this proposal is that it attacks prosperity through taxation in order to fund an attack on the free market (government-run health insurance). In the name of “equality,” liberals will create a society of unequal classes: central government bureaucrats and powerless subjects. A society of crabs in a bucket.

This is the Democrats’ vision for America

The economic engine of America is not the government but the basic principle behind free markets: rewarding productivity. Democrats are openly in favor of taxing that very reward. This is yet another attempt by the ruling Democratic elite to reduce America to a society of uniform mediocrity. Will America wake up in time?
