In a Constitutional Republic, which is what the United States is, we
function under a system of Capitalism. This means your property is
your property and people, businesses, or government cannot take that
away from you. It also means if you work hard you become successful
and the money you earn is yours that means people, or businesses, or
government cannot take away from you.
Under the systems of
Socialism and Communism you work to produce goods or services, or to
earn money, then they take most of it away from you to give it to
those who are lazy and don’t want to work. They do this under the
lie they just want “equality” for everyone. This is what you see
Democrats in the United States trying to do now.
Here is how things
work under Capitalism. Person A and makes $1,500 for the month.
Person B works and makes $500 per month. Of course person B sees the
difference and whines that they are not making as much as Person A.
What happens is that Person A informs Person B that if they improve
their education and job skills and perform better at work they will
earn more money. If Person B follows that logic soon they will be on
equal terms with Person A who is making $1,500 month.
But how does this
work under Socialism and Communism? Person A makes $1,500 per month
because they educated themselves, obtained more job skills, and work
hard. Person B has not improved their education, they lack job
skills, and they are lazy at work. Under Socialism and Communism the
Government takes $500 away from Person A so that although they earned
$1,500 they now have only $1,000 in their possession. The Government
then takes the $500 they took away from Person A and hand it to lazy
Person B and when added to their original income of $500 they now
also have $1,000 as Person A now has.
Unfortunately
Democrats and Liberals in the United States think Socialism and
Communism is fair as it redistributes wealth so everyone is even. I
feel that stealing from one person to give it a lazy person just so
their incomes are comparable is horrible.
What is always the
final result under Socialism and Communism? Person A is tired of
doing double the work of lazy Person B but ending up with the same
amount of money after the Government steals money from them to hand
to lazy Person B. Person A figures if they reduce their work
production and drop down to $500 per month then the Government will
steal from someone else to give to them so that they have the same
income as hard working people.
In every case where
Socialism and Communism has been tried it has failed. The reason it
failed is because people don’t feel like working, or farming, or
making things to sell, if the Government then steals from them and
hand it to others. Eventually you transition from a country where 50
percent work and 50 percent are on the take to where only 10 percent
work and 90 percent are on the take and the economy fails.
Look at what
happened to Venezuela in 2018 and 2019 and that tells the story of
how Socialism and Communism are failures as economic and Government
systems.
