Socialism--Evil Concealed by Money

My favorite intellectual, the great Dr. Walter Williams, economist extraordinaire and professor of economics at George Mason University, has written one of the most important pieces on Socialism one could ever hope to find.

As a system that is inherently evil, Socialism conceals its sinister objectives and methods with money.

To get our minds stirred to actually think, Dr. Williams entices us with this nifty item:

Evil acts can be given an aura of moral legitimacy by noble-sounding socialistic expressions such as spreading the wealth, income redistribution or caring for the less fortunate. Let's think about socialism.

Imagine there's an elderly widow down the street from you. She has neither the strength to mow her lawn nor enough money to hire someone to do it. Here's my question to you that I'm almost afraid for the answer: Would you support a government mandate that forces one of your neighbors to mow the lady's lawn each week? If he failed to follow the government orders, would you approve of some kind of punishment ranging from house arrest and fines to imprisonment?

Read the entire article HERE. Ponder over it slowly, and let it sink in. Let your children and grandchildren read it. Send it to as many as you can think of.

America needs to be reminded of the greatness and superiority of our free enterprise system and the inherent evil embodied by Socialism, which passes itself off as 'right' and 'moral' by its supposed concern for 'helping the unfortunate.'

Taking from one group of citizens to give to another group of citizens is robbery, and the last time I checked, robbery is a crime.
