As the inestimable Edmund Burke said “Slavery you can have anywhere. It is a weed that grows in every soil.”

Socialism is another form of slavery. Edmund Burke went on to say:

“No body of men will be argued into slavery. Sir, let the gentlemen on the other side…tell me, what one character of liberty the Americans have, and what one brand of slavery they are free from, if they are bound in their property and industry by all the restraints you can imagine on commerce, and at the same time are made pack-horses of every tax you choose to impose, without the least share in granting them. When they bear the burthens of unlimited monopoly, will you bring them to bear the burthens of unlimited revenue too? The Englishman in America will feel that this is slavery; that it is legal slavery, will be no compensation either to his feelings or to his understandings.”

If Barack Obama becomes President what we will have imposed on us is another form of slavery. One of the principles that this country was founded on was that if you didn’t work you didn’t eat. You are free to choose your own destiny.

Enslaving people to the government because of everything they bestow upon you is the opposite of what our Constitution outlines. This goes against pursuing your own happiness. We don’t need America or the Constitution reinvented by B. Hussein Obama. As Americans we must fight to keep capitalism alive and our spirits high. Slavery is a weed that grows in every soil. You can always have socialism but capitalism was fought for and we must fight for it still.
