Of course leftists, socialists and progressives bristle at the suggestion that their agendas are substantially the same as Nazism. It is not merely because of emotional aversion with being associated with Hitler. It is because it is simply untrue. The Nazis, you may remember were very pro-corporate capitalism. Just ask Ford, IBM, and every other company that benefited from Jewish slave labor. Despite its name, the National Socialist Party was a right-wing movement that defended and were funded by the wealthy to violently attack leftists, socialists and progressives. It then went on to justify gross civil rights violations (to put it very mildly) and engaged in wars of aggression in order to advance the interests of their corporate benefactors. While this does fit certain parties and especially the last administration, it can't be any more opposite of the agendas of leftists, socialists and progressives.

Dear Walter Williams. Good Article. Someone once said “The American people will never knowingly adopt socialism. Under the name of “liberalism, they'll adopt every fragment of socialist party, until one day
America will be a socialist nation without knowing what happened!”

Remember the song “Step out of line and they'll come take you away!” Definitely, should
apply to politicians, lobbyists, unions, CEO's, special interests, insurance and drug
companies! PACS must be dissolved! Taxpayers know these ‘blood-sucking ticks' can't
get elected without millions from these people who're seeking something in return!'
Taxpayers know this is corruption! Why should Taxpayers have to pay more for their
insurance and medicines, just so politicians can get elected?

Several million jobs lost, and no accountability by politicians! Doesn't take a rocket
scientist to figure out politicians have been out of line! Taxpayers are willing to sell them
a one-way ticket to Gitmo, which is more than they deserve, take all their assets to pay
off the trillions they've borrowed, without Taxpayers consent, and bid them farewell!

Why should Taxpayers be held responsible for the ‘so-called agreements and the
borrowing of trillions of dollars from foreign countries made by the politicians?'
Taxpayers know that all the Committees being used by politicians on local, state, and
federal levels, are just a way to hide what they're really doing! ‘Ways and Means, Ethics,
Appropriations, Government Reform, Economics, Financial Services, Pensions, Rules,
Finance, Education', I think you're getting the message! For past five decades, wouldn't
you think that with all these committees someone honest with intregrity would have
stepped up to the plate and put an end to ‘corruption and greed' in government?

‘A real joke' - letting the crooked politicians ‘investigate one of their own!'

Someone once said “The American people will never knowingly adopt socialism. Under
the name of “liberalism, they'll adopt every fragment of socialist party, until one day
America will be a socialist nation without knowing what happened!”

Wake up, America!

F.A. Hayek's Road to Serfdom is still one of the best explorations of the reasons that socialism and central planning inevitably lead to a system controlled by a few powerful individuals lacking oversight. Just plugging it as a great elaboration of the argument presented here.

Readers may benefit from a more precise approach to what Walter is stating about tyrants and the forms of social organization they demand and why they NEED a hierarchical organization of masters / slaves:

The "rule of law" is a precisely defined law. It is the highest law of mankind, stated below:

“the suppression of forceful and fraudulent methods of goal seeking”

“all are treated equally by the law”. This means ALL, including king and judges

“absolute property rights”

This in turn is based on the fact that human behavior (the topic of law) is about goal seeking. In the seeking of any goal, there are only three possible methods: force, fraud and honest trade. Any transaction that is not an honest, mutually agreed trade will cause a self-defensive response (conflict) from the victim whose survival has been affected.

"The Rule of Law" is the glue that keeps all of mankind acting together in common interest, tied together by mutual dependence of trade, on an evolutionary path to excellence. Force and fraud creates conflict and destroys civilizations. Mankind is now on a devolutionary path to extinction because the co-operation once forced by "the rule of law" has been replaced by legitimizing force and fraud for those who incorrectly believe they wield power.

Dear Walter Williams, as you"re aware, Federal (local and State) deficits are soaring due to imcompetent politicians and from their latest remarks "they're way of thinking is still ‘we'll stimulate the economy with more bailouts and handouts' and once the great recession ends, we'll reduce the deficit!' A little late, wouldn't you say? All Economists and Taxpayers, know the politicians will never get control of the imbalances; therefore, it's time to hand out pink slips.


From 1998 until 2004, I asked the NRCC why Taxpayers couldn't get honest answers from
politicians of all affiliations. The form letters they sent in return, hand stamped, written by a
staffer, made me wonder where the greedy politicians stayed all the time. It further told me that
politicians had no interest in anything except their very deep pockets.

Economy never fully recovered from the 70's! Due to lack of American businesses, higher taxes,
plastic cars and other overpriced consumer products, these greedy politicians should have been
concentrating on America's future. Politicians should have started cutting their salaries,
retirements, taxing and spending and going over the high-dollar budgets, line by line, until
everything was cut back fifty (50%) percent.

The enormous debt brought about by incompetent politicians, high salaries, retirements, social,
welfare programs, and frivolous overspending should have stopped. Instead, it's now boiled over
like a run-a-way train. The only thing the greedy politicians can say is ‘I inherited this debt!'
Instead of cutting and changing what should have been done, they're way of thinking is still ‘we'll
stimulate the economy with more bailouts and handouts' and once the great recession ends, we'll
reduce the deficit!' A little late, wouldn't you say? All Economists and Taxpayers, know the
politicians will never get control of the imbalances; therefore, it's time to hand out pink slips.

I pointed out that all manufacturing jobs had to be brought back to America. We couldn't be a
‘service country'. The only thing America is servicing is unemployment, social and welfare
programs. It's now late October 2009, and the trillions of dollars, borrowed without Taxpayers
consent, is growing to the point it's making Taxpayers think “Who's going to own America when
the interest isn't paid?”

I further pointed out that Social Security belonged only to Taxpayers that had worked and should
be their retirement! Folks, through corrupt and greedy politicians, social security has been
borrowed against for illegitimates and people not wanting to work leaving nothing for the people
that paid money in. Democrat and Republican Taxpayers, of all races, should be outraged by the
radical and socialist proposed Healthcare. Anyone, with common sense, should have guessed that
1012 pages (unread by politicians as usual) wasn't about Healthcare but about hidden agendas and
building a bridge over the sand in the Arizona desert.

What's really going to happen to Social Security since there's no one working to pay into the system
for future generations? Do you think the politicians are going to continue to hand you a check that
you're not entitled to?

Politicians say ‘you must volunteer and give back to your community!' By the way, why don't you
get off your duffs and volunteer at homeless shelters and without the secret service, since this costs
Taxpayers. While I'm on a roll, you could also donate eleven (11) months of your salaries and
retirement benefits to Taxpayers that's having to work two (2) jobs just to survive due to your
incompetency!

By the way, Taxpayers ‘Pledge to Fight Socialized Medicine!'
