Not puzzling at all.

I believe in law and order -- which protects the basic rights I mentioned before. So if someone is exploited or mistreated, then a crime is being committed and the just punishments are applicable. This is part of what the Founding Fathers intended.

As for tobacco, the only problem with them was when they were lacing their product with addictive chemicals. That should be addressed. But cigarettes are legal (and gross).

NOTHING IS WRONG WITH SPREADING THE WEALTH!

THANK GOD THROUGH OBAMA WE ARE SEEING THE TRUE COLORS OF CAPITALISM! THE POOR GETTING POORER AND THE RICH HOARDING THE WEALTH FOR THEIR OWN, AND EVEN BRIBING THE GOVERNMENT WITH IT

Peace

Everything is wrong with spreading the "wealth" -- wealth is earned, very little is inherited. You don't reward hard work by stealing from those who earned it. This country has opportunities for ALL who want to take advantage of them.

You said, "You don't reward hard work by stealing from those who earned it."

Agreed

But let the people democratically decide "HOW MUCH" one should earn. Grade the wages...and this will avoid having to tax the rich so often

This kind of economic system is called, Socialist Democracy. Sun, land, property and all things come from God and belongs to us! Let the people decide what to do with wealth... and then, there will be a decrease in crime, prison population, and poverty

[peiklk]

You missed the point. Hard work produces results. The evil rich as you portray them are the ones who create jobs and opportunities for the poorer among us.

Life, Liberty and the Pursuit of Happiness are are the ONLY rights we are guaranteed. The government is to only provide for the common defense and promote the general welfare (well being, safety, security) of the populace. Nothing else.

peiklk:

Nothing is wrong with hard work and producing results. There are "good" rich people as well. The rich create jobs and opportunities because of the profit they make - and, that is fair in a system where one has the right to pursue one's happiness. The government helps us to make this possible

Fairness though, must extend to all workers and retirees, and the government should do whatever it can to protect workers from exploitation, poverty, and mistreatment. How can this be done???

[peiklk]

The gummint need not be involved. People can choose to go work somewhere else. Basic, basic, basic protections are fine. But minimum wages, requiring health insurance, etc. are too much. Workers in America are not exploited or mistreated as a rule and when they are, there are proper punishments already in force.

Less government is ALWAYS better.

Comments by the left wing loons never cease to amaze me. It just makes you wonder where the education, upbringing and socialization of these pathetic people ran a muck?

This once great country is in the worst state it has been since it's beginning and about half the population support the openly socialist/Marxist criminal for a president. All they want is ..."gimme my shit". These filthy rat bastards are nothing but the scum of the earth. They are moral, ethical and mental midgets.

[GutpileCharlie]

@Vegx91GM9 Is Obama a socialist? Well is the Pope Catholic?

You are a dumb piece of shit.

[GutpileCharlie]

@Mwaterfall Damn, you comment says it all. You are a pathetic piece of socialist shit. You wouldn't make a scab on a real American's ass.

You are not only despicable, you are repugnant beyond all belief.

Karama's a bitch. Filthy, socialist, criminal rat bastards like you will get yours in the end.

God save the republic.

@peiklk

"stealing from those who earned it. " You mean the rich who steal it from the working class?

"This country has opportunities for ALL who want to take advantage of them."

Really? I don't know another country where it is so hard for a child to get a normal life, when you are born in poor family.

[nhstategop]

@Mwaterfall Oh wouldn't that be China? With the glories of socialism? Yup it is.

[Vegx91GM9]

Obama’s a socialist? The UK is way ahead we’ve got the NHS free health care for everyone. Its great that there are people to even out the right winged Americans. People like obama but the truth is he's hardly a liberal so i don't know why he is being compared to Marx.

[MrSteveParr]

Without economic liberty man can not be free. To say that there is any true form of freedom in socialism/Marxism is to do injustice to the written word.

Conrad Hilton worked 24 hours a day in his first small hotel he had no car in in his early years but most people didn't then just as he began to become successful the great depression hit his lawyer and accountant begged him to declare bankruptcy instead he cut back he sold hotels that were less profitable and used the money to build hotels in growing areas eventually he began to offer services that other hotels did not and it became known that staying in a Hilton hotel was the best choice read

You maybe work 12 hours a day and only get enough to eat, drink, dress, buy an old car and make a vocation in the summer, but you don't have enough time to live, while Paris Hilton lives 24/7, uses dollars as toilet paper just because her ancestor was a cowboy or hell knows what, this is capitalism, and ah wait, technology sends capitalism to Paris Hilton's butt, science and technology likes socialism so GOOD BYE CAPITALIST
