Forefathers At Plimouth Wrong?

Many many moons ago a group of people were nearly wiped out. It wasn't that famous first winter. It was, according to Governor Bradford, socialism.

In order to save the feldging new colony, Plimouth Plantation went to an ownership society. When this was done, the growth and wealth of the colony only prospered.

Today on the Today Show, the Great Senator Edward Kennedy from the People's Republic of Massachussetts said the problems of society today are because of the ownership society. I guess the Fourteenth Amendment needs to be chucked under the bus as the current saying goes.

This is strange coming from a man who owns quite a bit. Perhaps when he sells all and gives all to the poor, then I'll be convinced. Until then, would the Great Senator do his forefathers a little honor and remain silent long enough for us to think he is truly great.

I was once debating with a liberal who stated that he'd be willing to pay 50% of his income in taxes.

My response: "Oh, really? And how long have you been doing that?"

Why must socialism be coerced upon people? Why aren't liberals setting the example for the rest of us by voluntarily paying heavier taxes?

It's not that they want to give themselves to the State -- it's that they want everyone else to do so.
