New World Order Take Two

In reading on the aims of socialism, one of its stated objectives is to end all exploitation, which on the surface sounds like a good thing, but might not be as great as it sounds. What would one have to do to achieve these goals? Well, no one could have any stuff, first of all. The government would have to find some way to take away your stuff, whether by fair means or foul, through higher taxation, making it harder to find a job, so on. You're kind of a prisoner to your stuff, anyway right? You go to work in order to support all the stuff you want...your house, car, flatscreen tv, tablet computers, hobbies, whatnot. What else is the point? If you're not working for stuff, what are you working for? Somebody elses stuff. Or, you're working and scrimping and saving and not buying stuff, thereby not helping your fellow man, who is making your stuff. All this part of....a plan? THE PLAN?(Not sure),to bring about a peaceful New World Order. Looking into the details of this New World Order, though, the future doesn't look too bright. It means the reduction of the worlds population to 500,000,000 or less, most of whom would be drugged, happy servants of a small ruling class, I'm sure. You think I'm joking? Should I put my tinfoil hat back on? It doesn't take a whole lot of research to figure it out. The government has purposefully dumbed down education, watered down things like history, civics, and ethics in order to pull the wool over our eyes. We've allowed our government to move away from the equitable application of law and our Constitution, because, well....go along to get along, I guess. And anyone who dares speak up against it is demonized, marginalized, persecuted and pooh poohed(you like the astute use of literary devices...rhyme and alliteration?) like the Tea Party advocates and Libertarians. We become the tinfoil hat wearing conspiracy theorists, when all we really want is retention of our individual identity and not have our stuff appropriated by the government and given to someone who did not earn it. I can decide for myself who I wish to help and who I do not without coersion, thank you very much.

Obama's Latest And Greatest Plan To Screw The World....

My rant on the proposal to raise taxes on corporate foreign earnings...
Are you people idiots or are you purposefully trying to tax consumers to death? I'm beginning to think its the latter. Sure, I understand the idea behind trying to slow rampant American consumerism....I mean, it supports something like a third of the global economy....who wouldn't want to blow that all to hell and ring in the New World Order? You do understand that corporations don't pay taxes, don't you? If you don't, here's a lesson....corporations estimate their annual tax burden, then add that to the cost of goods or services they provide. By calling for an increase in taxation on these businesses, you are essentially taxing yourself through the back door. If you do understand this, and are a proponent of this policy anyway, you have some explaining to do. I'd honestly like to hear it.
