Palin on the Socialist Threat:
"See, under a big government, more tax agenda, what you thought was yours would really start belonging to somebody else, to everybody else. If you thought your income, your property, your inventory, your investments were, were yours, they would really collectively belong to everybody. Obama, Barack Obama has an ideological commitment to higher taxes, and I say this based on his record... Higher taxes, more government, misusing the power to tax leads to government moving into the role of some believing that government then has to take care of us. And government kind of moving into the role as the other half of our family, making decisions for us. Now, they do this in other countries where the people are not free. Let us fight for what is right. John McCain and I, we will put our trust in you."
Ya know, she’s absolutely right: if we’re not careful, we might end up with socialized schools, socialized roads, socialized police & fire departments, a socialized military, maybe even a partially socialized financial industry. We might actually look like a unified country that makes a collective commitment to take care of one another.
Oh wait, we already have these things. And most people think they’re actually good things when they’re not being scared silly about an evil government stealing their money.
