PELOSI AND THE SOCIALISTS

MUST READ COLUMN (RMN/via RCP). EXCERPT:

With the Democrats back in power in Congress and with the 2008 election campaign already upon us, you'll be hearing much more about "income inequality." This is a major issue for "progressives" (when you hear that word, think "socialists") like Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi. ...

Individual incomes are determined objectively in the marketplace. When politicians or labor unions don't like the results, they meddle in people's lives and businesses in pursuit of power while invoking the name of "social justice," today's name for egalitarianism. ...[But] redistribution of income and wealth - without regard for talent and productivity - can destroy a society economically.

They tell you that they're gonna tax the other guy and give it to you. In fact they're gonna just muck up the whole dang economy.

UPDATE: Today, we're headed in the RIGHT dirction; a new direction - (one that takes us to the LEFT) will - as Pastorius posted last week, and as LMC said in the comments - take us right down the tubes!
