From Each
By Charlie Daniels

“From each according to his ability, to each according to his needs.”
Now that’s a high sounding, idealistic statement, isn’t it? For everybody to produce as much as their talent and energy will permit them and everybody to receive everything he or she needs.
Actually this is not a noble statement. It is a treacherous statement, deceiving in it’s intention and ruinous in it’s effect. These are the words of Karl Marx, and they are the very keystones of communism and socialism which have failed everywhere on earth they have been forced upon a nation’s people.
Communism discounts a man’s character, talent, desire and ambitions and rewards sloth, irresponsibility and downright laziness and is not adopted by a government for the good of the people but for control of the people.
It promotes an, “I’ll do just enough to get by, what the heck no matter how I work I’m not going to be rewarded any more than the slug down the assembly line who spends half his time in the men’s room smoking cigarettes and does lousy work” attitude.
Communism, in theory, is supposed to pull everybody up to the level of the best and the brightest, but in reality it drags the best and the brightest down to the level of the lazy and unproductive.
When the Iron Curtain finally came down across Eastern Europe and Western companies started moving into the area, the citizens were delighted, they wanted to work at places like McDonald’s to draw Western wages and there was no shortage of applicants.
They wanted the job and the salaries, but they didn’t want the work and it resulted in somewhere around a 300% turnover in help. These people had not lost the desire to make money but had, in the years under communism, lost all work ethic. Many of them wanted to sit around and read the newspaper most of the day and be given a full day’s pay.
The system they had grown up under didn’t reward work ethic or industrious attitudes, they had been conditioned to punch in every morning and spend the day doing as little as they could get by with.
After all, the government was going to take care of them from cradle to grave no matter whether they were hard workers or not. Everybody gets the same, so why work hard? There’s nothing to be gained from it.
Communism has always fostered a total dependence on a corrupt, elitist central government that eventually turns into a totalitarian monolith that dictates every facet of their lives by force, while the people in charge live in privilege and luxury in a separate “do as we say not as we do” world of their own.
In Russia, the political elite even had their own traffic lane in Moscow, reserved for them so they wouldn’t have to put up with the traffic of the common folks. This is just how far out of hand this system can get.
You see the mindset amongst the politicians taking hold already. The U. S. House of Representatives once had their own bank, which was closed due to over 8,000 bad checks written by individual members of Congress. And then there was the recent incident where a senator was so indignant that he was being instructed to get off his cell phone, like the rest of the unwashed masses in the cabin of an airplane about to leave the gate, that he called the flight attendant a derogatory term meant to refer to a female dog. The rules don’t apply to the political elite, or they believe that they shouldn’t.
You see the mindset in this country continue as the president, Senate and Congress want to force Americans on to a health care system that is so bad they have to meet behind closed doors and don’t dare let the voters know what’s in the final bill.
But the elite politicians will not have to go on this horrible health care plan, they will have their own plan where they, and their families, get to go to the front of the line and receive the best care available while you and your family will have to argue with some numbskull bureaucrat about why you shouldn’t have to wait three years to get a knee replacement.
If you’re looking for pity or compassion from this kind of government you will be bitterly disappointed. And if you’re gullible enough to think there aren’t provisions hidden in the health care bill to give bureaucrats the ability to decides who lives and who dies, you’d better think again.
It’s neither compassion nor righteousness of purpose that this government is trying to push off on us; it’s about control, power and the proliferation of power. They have it and they want to keep it, even if it means putting the nation into bankruptcy and totally wreaking the best health care system the world has ever known.
Now that’s real patriotism isn’t it, that’s real public service ain’t it?
I will admit that there are a few decent people left on Capitol Hill, but they are few and far between.
As far as I’m concerned Harry Reid should be tried for racketeering. He has perverted the system and corrupted senators with money that doesn’t belong to him and is nothing more than graft.
And I thought buying votes was against the law.
This nation is drowning in debt, everything the government has done so far to revive the economy has been a miserable failure and their ridiculous response is to do another stimulus package, which will fail even more miserably than the last.
With every vote in the Senate and the House, the United States of America sinks further down in the mire of socialism and dictatorship. Yes, I said dictatorship. That’s where the leaders do not respect the will of the people, but force their own will upon them.
This is ugly folks and getting uglier every day.
How many congressmen and senators are under investigation for crooked deals and how many of their crimes get covered up because they protect each other?
The executive branch of this government is peopled by naive, incompentent socialists, politically appointed fools, and inept pacifists while the legislative branch is as crooked as a barrel of fishhooks. A bunch of liars and self-concerned pathetic little men who have gone against their conscience so many times that they’ve probably destroyed it.
Contempt of Congress? You don’t even know the half of it.
What do you think?
Pray for our troops, and for our country
God Bless America
