Utopia

Democrats would have us believe that if we elect their messiah the whole world will unite in harmony and love as all the stars align while we drink a Coke. There will be no unemployment, no hunger, no pain, no hurricanes, no hot weather. We'll all hold hands, sing Kumbah Yah, and stand around the world communal camp fire. On second thought quench that fire it would be polluting the planet, depleting the rain forest and removing the sacred owls breeding grounds etc. etc. These people need to wake up and smell the coffee - or would you actually need coffee in their Utopian village, but I digress.

I can't even begin to do justice punching holes in their biosphere of goodness but can point out some potential panacea problems. (Hey, I couldn't resist the alliteration.) But I can think of a couple of things that would at least slow down the progress towards that beautiful sunset.

They may find this difficult to believe but there are actually some people in this world that don't like us. In fact you might even say some groups hate us so much they would be willing to fly airplanes into tall buildings and strap on suicide vests to show us how much they care. Do the Democrats really think these people will all of a sudden want to play nice and not run with scissors?

However the main difficulty with Utopia involves money and all you have to do is follow the money trail to see the problem. Of course the trail ends with productive people that don't think the government should be the answer. These people believe if you need or want something you should have to work for it instead of sitting around waiting for the government to give it to you. I realize this presents a dilemma for the Democrats but they assure us that only the "rich" will have to pay.

Somehow they fail to see the simple economic relationship between the "rich" and those working for the "rich." If you continue to rob Peter to pay Paul it becomes problematic at some point in time. If there is no incentive to achieve eventually Peter will refuse to produce and join Paul in waiting for the hand outs.

I'm Just Saying - now you know why socialism doesn't work.
