The Communist Manifesto
President Woodrow Wilson, the first President of The United States to use the D word, Democracy. Also Lurched America to the left under the guise of “Progressive reform.”
Central Banking and a graduated, progressive Income Tax became law during his administration.
I’m posting this here as a reminder to all Americans just how far along our country has moved toward the 10 planks of the Communist Manifesto. I present the list from Karl Marx and Frederick Engels original document, (translated of course), with a few remarks of my own.
1. Abolition of property in land and application of all rents of land to public purposes.
2. A heavy progressive or graduated income tax.
The 16th amendment of the United States Constitution, ratified in 1913, established a tax on income. Originally it was 1% on the first $20,000 and 7% on incomes above $500,000. In the beginning less than 1% paid income tax.
Progressive and graduated, Washington DC has turned this into a heavy burden on the American economy. The producers are punished and the non-producers are rewarded with welfare payments cleverly called “refundable tax credits” or “unearned income tax credits.”
3. Abolition of all rights of inheritance.
When the Bush tax cuts expire in 2011 the State confiscates as much as 55% of estates upon the owner’s death. That is more than half the way towards abolishment of inheritance, right there.
4. Confiscation of the property of all emigrants and rebels.
5. Centralization of credit in the banks of the state, by means of a national bank with state capital and an exclusive monopoly.
Can you say Federal Reserve? I’ll bet you can.
Is the Democrat triumvirate of Obama, Pelosi and Reid going to bring about the nationalization of our banking institutions. I sure wouldn’t put it past them.
Do you remember what President Obama’s Chief of Staff, Raul Emmanuel said? “You never want a serious crisis to go to waste.”
Economic conditions being what they are, this bears watching very closely.
6. Centralization of the means of communication and transport in the hands of the state.
7. Extension of factories and instruments of production owned by the state; the bringing into cultivation of waste lands, and the improvement of the soil generally in accordance with a common plan.
8. Equal obligation of all to work. Establishment of industrial armies, especially for agriculture.
9. Combination of agriculture with manufacturing industries; gradual abolition of all the distinction between town and country by a more equable distribution of the populace over the country.
10. Free education for all children in public schools. Abolition of children’s factory labor in its present form. Combination of education with industrial production, etc.
Free education in Government schools. Sound familiar?
Placing your child in a Government school is the worse form of abuse a parent can carry out.
