ATTN Tea Party folks:

Thomas Paine was a Socialist, stop making Americans look like bigots and uneducated meatheads.

Thank you.

@XoriasLord Paine was a left-libertarian, not a socialist. He certainly wouldn't be a follower of the tea baggers, but he was not a socialist. He believed in the social contract, not in democratic control of the economy.Socialism=democratic control of economy & means of production, Left-libertarian= Capitalist, with the belief that natural resources are by right common property & compensation must be made for their use.

"Every proprietor, therefore, of cultivated lands, owes to the community a ground-rent...for the land which he holds; and it is from this ground-rent that [we should] create a national fund, out of which there shall be paid to every person, when arrived at the age of twenty-one years, the sum of fifteen pounds sterling, as a compensation in part, for the loss of his or her natural inheritance, by the introduction of the system of landed property." - Thomas Paine, Agrarian Justice.

What's w/ the flames. Looks like he is speaking from hell.

It is an issue of constitutionality. Our Constitution says, "promote the general welfare" this orders the government to do things that would benefit EVERYONE, and NOT to help any ONE PERSON or GROUP OF PERSONS AT THE EXPENSE OF ALL THE REST. What say You?????

[therealkidwired]

@libertyordeath4me- the key word is promote. It stands in stark difference from the word PROVIDE in the phrase that deals with the "common defence." There is a significant contradistinction in the two words. Promote means to support or encourage something. To provide is to supply somebody with something. Two different and distinct meanings.

Sombra, não entendo o que vocês falam. Porém, deve ser alguma coisa ligada a liberdade do seu país. Não é?

I, thought he said something about public service, something in the order of the Peace Corp on Americorp.

This guy kicks ass. I love the Modern Thomas Paine. He`s right on almost everything. I`ll pass on the 2 years of service though, unless it`s voluntary.

@repoman4353

This guy is a fraud. Read Thomas Paine Agrarian Justice and then tell me if Thomas Paine would be a conservative, Tea Partier, or a Glenn Beck fan.
