Socialism in America
By Caleb Blume
Economics, a subject largely misunderstood, is a hot topic never the less by the whole of society. I will now attempt to explain where we are as a nation and why I'm not a hateful bigot by doing so.
First off, let's look at what economics actually is. Economics is the science that deals with the production, distribution, and consumption of goods and services, or the material welfare of humankind, as Dictionary.com explains. This means, in layman's terms, how well of our common citizens are. How this is achieved can be done by several different methods.
Free-market has been proven to be the best at what it does. With its property ownership by the individual, zero government intervention with profits and banks, and the profit incentive to do things right, it has made the U.S.A the greatest society in the world in a mater of a couple hundred years, which, historically, is phenomenal (really good).
Socialism, or controlled society (by government), is just the opposite. It has high taxes on income, especially on the rich, making everyone equally poor. It makes the individual pay rent, or tax, on their property, taking it if the dues are not met. It takes control of banks, and thereby control of the money as a whole.
Caleb Blume thinks he's an economist.
Thank God we are a free-market society... right? Socialism will lead to disaster, making the individuals slaves in the long run. It has always formed into Communism or some other form of tyranny.
It is difficult to show sarcasm in writing, so allow me to make myself clear. Ever since the great social awakening in our society, we have desperately tried to
mimic our Socialist brothers across the sea, and succeeded. “Oh, come now, we know we are a democracy; we aren't Socialist.” Yes, we are.
Taxes. The rich are demonized because they have more money than the “poor” and are therefor taxed far heavier. A part of that tax is given to the poor, and the majority is put in the government's pocket for whatever they please. This raises the question, “Why go to school, work hard, and feel all that pain if I can just ask the government to give me money from those that do? People do everyday through welfare, why not me?” Aside from that, our pure profit, that we, as individuals, honestly obtained is divided and taken with the revolutionary Income Tax. Why? What did the government have to do with my income? Nothing, but they want your money, so they take it. It's also called stealing, but it's legal, so they get away with it.
Property. “I bought it, I can sell it, so it's mine.” Pardon me, I just burst into hysterics. Fact, if you miss one payment, or tax as they call it, on your property, it's theirs. Case closed. Also, if they deem that they have better use for your property, they can take it at any time. Houses, churches, stores, can be torn down and a freeway put in its place. It has been done, and it will continue because the government owns all property. They allow you to sell it to another renter, because they don't care as long as they get their money.
Banks. The final nail has been placed on the coffin. The government is deciding what percentage of banks they should own currently as this is being written, giving them complete control of our money, which is time, which is effort, which is food, which is life.
What part of our society is free-market? None, although we are not as deep into socialism as the rest of the world. We are what China and Russia is, according to a college level economic text book entitled, Macroeconomics Demystified. “China? The Communist country? Russia? No way!” I didn't say it, our government did... and is proud of it.
In conclusion, we have, for the moment, the greatest economy in the world because of our recent past of free-market capitalism. Near future? It seems rather dark. We are on a bubble, inflating bigger and bigger. We could take steps to deflating it before it blows, but the majority, Democrats and Republicans, believe it is Democracy and a “good thing.” The “change” everyone is talking about is not imaginary, but it is our downfall. We are a Socialist Union of States, and we are loving the pretty balloon all the way to the end. As soon as there are too many people that decides work is for idiots that give them money to pay for the people that do not work, the government must step in and force them to. Force, as in, make them... as in... unfree.
But we can not lose heart, not if we are sons and daughters of the living God. Even if this nation falls to the sway of tyranny, we can feel secure in the fact that this is not our home. This is a small vapor given to us to do His Will, and if it is to shine in the darkness, than we must not grieve, but be ready for when the darkness comes. (flashlights might help)

Chief harbinger of doom you may be, but it is true nonetheless that our world is falling apart. can you explain this statement to me?
"What part of our society is free-market? None, although we are not as deep into socialism as the rest of the world."
Is there no element of free-market left in our economy? Or am i misunderstanding you? Has the government really regulated us that much?
You might disagree, since the government does allow us to make money as long as it is not too much, using tax brackets and income caps to stop business from increasing. My father, a small business carpenter, had a dilemma last year of how much we could make before we reached a tax bracket that would make us lose more than if we just stopped working. We took a long Christmas vacation that year instead of making another two months of money because we would have lost three to taxes! What kind of freedom is that?
I feel I am sounding unpatriotic, and I wish to clear that up. I am patriotic of what this country stands. I can not find the words of how proud I am to be an American, however, there are people that are destroying this nation from the inside.
But to answer your question, Autumn, yes, government has complete control over us, they are just not using that power with the same fervor as our poor brothers across the sea. We are "allowed," not free, to have certain rituals that always have been, but where it really matters, we are the United Socialist States.
