Robin Hood? More like Stalin’s work.

Obama new plan to steal from the oil industry to buy votes is not at all like what Robin Hood did. Robin Hood stole from a repressive government that was overtaxing everybody, and gave back to the rightful owners. Obama plan is pure Marxism: use the power of government - the entity that was doing the stealing in the Robin Hoods story - take from the productive and then lavish the masses with some of that money in order to buy their allegiance. Works great once or twice, but once the money is gone, usually because everyone decides if government is going to rob them anyway why bother, what do you do? Remember that this money that Obama wants to have government steal because it is vile profits (in the eyes of Marxists) belongs to the stockholders which are part of the people. Once these industries that get robbed - and have no doubt that these collectivists will not just limit their stealing to the oil industry but sooner or later will find reasons to steal from everyone including the little people, figure out they should just quit, what do you think happens? Thousands will be out of work, millions of people with investments will lose money, and in general the consequences will be economically disastrous.

Look people, we know this collectivist class envy shit does not work. It did not work for the USSR or any of its satellite states. North Korea and Cuba are still the world’s greatest prison states. Venezuela and any other hell hole that picked up these vile beliefs have spiraled into oblivion. China, still run by totalitarian communist thugs, gave up these failed economic policies for a reason. And it has allowed them to prosper economically. At least on paper. In short, anywhere that these class envy and collectivist policies have been tried there has been failure followed by misery. Obama is trying hard to bring that misery - the horrible economic downturn of the Carter years - back to us. We should know better than to let envy and greed by Marxists sway us from what is right and works.

In addition to their empty and dangerous calls for change and hope, the mantra the left is clinging to for the coming elections seems to be economic justice. The problem is that economic justice is based on the false premise that somehow we can ignore reality and human nature to create equality. Frankly if we are going to have a system where one group takes from another, let’s stick to what Mother Nature herself practices: survival of the fittest. Let the strong take from the weak. Of course the left would freak out if anyone advocated for this. But they have no problem worshipping at the altar of having an elite class of freaks steal from the productive to give themselves power. Come to think of it, collectivism in a nutshell is about the strong today, the people that use the power of government, to pray on the weak. Call me racist for not wanting this collectivist twit anywhere in power.

UPDATE: This move by Obama is especially heinous because the democrats continue to pretend like the problems with oil pricing are caused by greedy oil people rather than their stubborn refusal to stop bowing to the wishes of the watermelon environmentalist movement. This refusal to allow an increase in our supply capability is done specifically to keep prices high so these collectivists can play these class warfare games. If Nancy allowed the vote right now, she knows that more than half of her democrat flock would abandon her and vote to allow it. It would also drop the price of oil drastically and immediately show everyone that the reason we are getting screwed is not evil oil people, but collectivist democrats. Can’t have any of that however.
