The really sad part is you actually believe that nonesense, don't ya. Psssst, it was just an excuse made up by your handlers to explain away the losses in the last elections, you are not really supposed to believe it to be the truth
Exactly.
A bunch of middle American white people making 40K are being convinced by talk radio and Fox News that the minority boogie man is coming to take their money away from them. That's what happens when you subject yourself to a myopic viewpoint ALL DAY, EVERY DAY.
Get out and do something other than seething in anger about welfare moms.
You can weed out parasites, but you cannot allow socipaths to run the government. The Tepublican Taliban must go! The real parasites are the corporate puppet masters that have the representaives by the short hairs, funneling/trickling wealth up to them.
Although you're hyperbolizing (real word), there is some truth to what you say.
All indicators are that wealth is moving to those who already have the most, but the Fox News/talk radio people have been convinced it's somehow the other way around.
People of fewer scruples now had the power to "vote themselves money" that is, to exploit the naive sympathy or noble sentiments of an entire community. So the modern parasite engenders a mass political movement for parasitism, citing the material abundance around him as evidence of injustice (unfairness). And just as the traditional, "private" parasite requires a rationalization for his behavior, consisting of excuses for his inactivity and sophistries to support his claim on the efforts of others, so the new, mass-movement parasite.

Interesting in that Shaw, the author of the above quote, was an ardent socialist. That aside, today the number of Pauls has increased sharply, while the supply of Peters is dwindling rapidly.

I believe in being self-sufficient. That is, I seek all hand-outs myself.
Do you ride only on roads you built yourself? Are you now typing on an Internet that you created? Do you eat only food you grew? If not, you aren't self-sufficient. Welcome to society.

ALL in the name of GLOBALISM which is what YOU Progressives support.

are you saying that a private market did not in large part create the means of production? and invent the technology?
Welcome to the free market capitalism, and the Constitutional Republic of America.

Global capitalism is not a "progressive" movement..it's a "I want to make as much money as possible and screw my neighbors and country" movement, for the most part.
If you're talking touchy feeley "we can save everyone" hippy crap, that's a different thing.
The problem with you right wing media regurgitators is..you can't think.
It's just automatically "I don't like something, must be liberal or progressive or Democrat."
Some guy with an MBA who decides he wants to make $4million instead of $2million by shipping all his production from Wisconsin to China is not a "progressive". He's just a capitalist. According to right wing mythology, he's a perfect human being.
