Obama Shares the Wealth—Why Stop There?

Communists, socialists, and Democrats are all about sharing the wealth. That is a euphemism for forcefully taking money, and thus property, from one group of people and giving it free to another group of people. How much to seize is entirely up to the big, radical leftist government. Not a future government, our existing federal government today.

The right to own property (wealth) is one of our basic freedoms. For the government to legally seize property from a specified group based on arbitrary government rules robs that group of its freedom; and thus subjects it to arbitrary infringement on all freedoms stemming from wealth and property up to, and including, life itself. The victims’ homes, salaries, savings, real properties, and their basic necessities for life can be seized and given to another group.

Much of the radical left’s agenda is being implemented, over the objections of the majority of American people, by Obama and his Democrat fellow travelers. The health care “reform”, like all government reforms, it not a reform at all, it is a power grab and freedom limiting expansion of big government. But, there is much more to health than just shared wealth. Why not extend sharing the wealth to sharing everything needed for health, welfare, and happiness?

What Else Could Government Seize from one Group and Give to Another Group?

Well, healthy organs such as eyes, kidneys, hearts, livers, etc. are essential to good health and survival. Why not select the groups in America with the healthiest organs, take them, and give them to the poor groups without healthy organs? Sharing the organs is morally equivalent to sharing the wealth and can be just as easily justified. This is especially true since there is a group that is generally wealthy and healthy. Just think of it as a wealth and body tax on the rich. Professional athletes are in superb health and could easily spare an eye or a kidney at any time. And, after they turn 40 or so most are no longer of use in professional sports. So, like the death panels in the Obamacare reform for seniors beyond their economically productive life span, the government could establish death panels for professional athletes beyond their athletically productive life. Their major organs: heart, liver, remaining eye and kidney, and bones, tendons, etc. could be taken and given to those poor without healthy organs.

No need to stop their either. Many people are poor by virtue of infertility, i.e. not able to have healthy children. Others are able to have healthy children from their teens to their 40s or so. The group with healthy children could easily be taxed as “wealthy in healthy kids” and be forced to share the wealth of healthy children. The government could declare healthy children as wealth and thereby seize healthy children and give them to the poor groups without healthy children.

The love of work and accomplishment is not only a blessing but a wealth. Those groups who love their jobs and work 50-80 hour work weeks (e.g. small business owners, medical interns, medical doctors, scientists, engineers, long-haul truckers, etc.) are wealthy in work and happiness. These groups could be taxed on their “wealth of work and accomplishment enjoyment” and have some of it taken to work for those groups poor in work and accomplishment enjoyment. Government could provide these work poor groups with able workers by taxing this source of wealth. Those taxed for enjoying extra long work hours and accomplishments could have their tax payment be in the form of temporary assignments to work for the poor (indentured servants). In the event that a family had two or more work healthy members, then one or more of them could be shared with the groups that are not “work wealthy” in permanent assignments (slavery).

Discussion

Don’t grin; don’t laugh at the foolishness of the above suggestions for organ, children, and work taxes on those judged wealthy in these areas. Here is why:
1) Progressive income taxing forces sharing of financial wealth and we have had that since the WW I era.
2) Health Care Reform is taxing those wise enough to work and buy health insurance and giving free insurance to those who do not work and buy health insurance (and remember, not everyone in America has insurance, but everyone in America does have health care).
3) The senior death panels are real and in the health care reform bills. Seniors will have mandatory “end of life counseling” designed to push them into a decision to die. Other people’s lives are neither precious nor sacred to our radical leftist elite. What better proof exists than senior death panels and legal, publically funded abortions? The leftist Democrats seem to hate our most vulnerable citizens; babies trying to be born and seniors trying to hang on to life after a lifetime of contributions. Leftist morality would not stand in the way of a tax on those wealthy in health.
4) Beyond death panels and abortion, women and children are also not honored by our leftist government. Our open border with Mexico is almost entirely responsible for the white slave trade in America, and, many of its victims are children.
5) Slavery remains widespread in parts of Africa (e.g. raids on Christians and animists in southern Sudan and their transfer to Muslims in Africa and the Middle East). And, indentured servitude is common in Saudi Arabia and other countries in the Middle East (especially with foreign workers from poor countries in Asia). The UN and the US have always known about this slavery and indentured servitude and look the other way because of political, economic, and politically correct reasons.

So don’t laugh and don’t sneer at the above “tax the rich” scenarios. People are rich in more than just money. The leftist seeking tyranny through block-voting by dependency groups will stop at nothing to gain and hold power in America. Want evidence? Consider what has happened in every communist and leftist tyranny that ever existed. And which countries are honored and befriended most by the Obama Administration? It is not the democracies, it’s the tyrannies.

I hope this essay illustrates the evil of sharing the wealth, regardless of how you define wealth, and of big government, especially a godless, leftist big government.
