The political agenda of a man born with silver spoons in every orifice

I'll leave you to guess who campaigned to have all these abolished:
Public schools
Taxation
Social Security
Welfare
the Federal Reserve
the Department of Energy
the Environmental Protection Agency
the Food and Drug Administration
OSHA
the Federal Communications Commission
the National Labor Relations Board
the FBI
the CIA
the Federal Trade Commission
In other words, let NOTHING stand in the way of the oligarchic station entitled by his birth. Why have prosperity among the masses when feudalism serves himself better?

How does the CIA help the common man?

Is it different to be born with a silver spoon than to have one given to you by wealthy benefactors who pay for your Ivy League education and fund your early work and political campaigns?

What's his name? I'd like to send him some campaign money. Thanks for the head's up.

Was it one of the dead Kennedy's?

If so then we know he's lying. I want my money back.

obviously it's part of a virtuous network of government programs and agencies solely designed and managed to lead the masses to prosperity...

add the Dept of Education and he pretty much nailed it

There's only one difference. One is black so you have to let him do whatever he wants

I missed you, Rex.

Come on Rex..."abolished" is misleading. It's not an either or scenario; the services rendered by these institutions can be useful...IF they remain uncorrupted. Just like owning a gun; it all depends on the purpose and results of said power's employment. Can be great...or can be societally harmful.
Freedom rocks! But only for a moral and responsible individual/group. The rest will have to be herded. And therein is the big problem of today. There are a ton of folk who can't cut it; so those who can must be TAXED to pay for them. Democracy...two wolves and a sheep voting on what's for supper.
Good to see you back in top form.

Obviously. One is an accident of birth and one is based on merit.

Thomas Jefferson to James Madison, regarding the concentration of wealth and power:
quote:
I am conscious that an equal division of property is impracticable. But the consequences of this enormous inequality producing so much misery to the bulk of mankind, legislators cannot invent too many devices for subdividing property, only taking care to let their subdivisions go hand in hand with the natural affections of the human mind. The descent of property of every kind therefore to all the children, or to all the brothers and sisters, or other relations in equal degree is a politic measure, and a practicable one.
Another means of silently lessening the inequality of property is to exempt all from taxation below a certain point, and to tax the higher portions of property in geometrical progression as they rise. Whenever there is in any country, uncultivated lands and unemployed poor, it is clear that the laws of property have been so far extended as to violate natural right.

Well, we'll never really know that, will we? (Assuming Obama is the issue re "merit".) Seeing that the records that verify MERIT, are sealed.
Wonder why?
