The Biggest Lie In America

I saw it on CNN. It echos a popular sentiment among a lot of Americans today. And it's a lie. The man said, "Socialism is Un-American." What a load of crap. Just read the Constitution, especially the Preamble. Read the Gettysburg Address. The founders of our country. The great leaders who made our country possible, all believed in socialistic ideas. Socialism is just a way that we Americans can all work together and share and support each other, and allow us all to grow and prosper.

During the advent of industrialization, the people who found themselves making fortunes on the backs of underpaid workers learned that if you remove the socialistic ideas our country was founded on, it is much easier for them to rape and pillage this country.

Big business fears having to pay their fair share, which is what socialistic ideas and laws will require of them. And that will definitely cut into their profits. But it also means that there will be more money for the average citizen, and for health care, and for civil services like police and fire fighters and public schools.

Our government is designed to protect our country. And it does this by making certain that the foundation of our society stays intact. That is why it is so important for government to protect all the rights of all the citizens, and not just a select few. Protecting businesses, and neglecting the general citizenry damages our society more than any terrorist could accomplish. But big business doesn't want folks thinking like that. For the people in big business they willingly sacrifice their own lives for the sake of the business, and they expect everyone else to do so as well. But that is just wrong headed thinking, which could only lead to disaster.

This lie that Socialism is Unamerican is causing our country to disintegrate, and it's time we stopped listening to it.
