What Is Our World Coming To?

   Posted by: jude   in Home and Family

I put a basket of candy on the step and figured each child would only take a piece or two  because I trusted them to leave some for the others. Bill didn’t like my idea and thought a few would take it all and of course he is probably right so he decided he would go hand it out, which was fine with me.

However I did notice when he came back in very few Werthers were gone and also the butterscotch was still there. The man had confiscated everything he liked and put it over to the side and handed out all the junk he didn’t care about. We humans don’t mind giving if it’s something we don’t like.

It reminded me of politics though and how the greedy or the capitalist always takes and doesn’t know how to share or is that just human nature the more you can take you will. I am not really sure, but I sure would like to trust and believe that we can all share and be the same, but actually that is a socialist belief.

I think those that know how should,  but it would be an idealistic world if we could all share the same, but we don’t. So that makes us all unsure of what we are suppose to do and or how to make anything right although many that have made millions from the populace are now trying to give back.

They should and I applaud them because their riches are gross compared to the rest of us.

Socialism is quite different than Democracy: Socialists mainly share the belief that capitalism unfairly concentrates power and wealth among a small segment of society that controls capital and creates an unequal society.

While Democracy is government by the people in which the supreme power is vested in the people and exercised directly by them or by their elected agents under a free electoral system. The Republican party was founded as an anti-slavery party in the mid 1800s. The first Republican US President was Abraham Lincoln. Think about that!

Unfortunately, under Bush’s administration, the US has swung more towards socialism than democracy.

In my lifetime, I have never seen a US President to repeatedly go against the wishes of the people or grab so much power.
