Why liberal/Dems fear socialism itself, part 2

So why do liberal/Democrats really fear socialism and/or the label of being socialistic?

 

Knowing that socialism severely limits or eradicates the human motivation to succeed or achieve, the implementation of socialistic principles in a country that is currently capitalistic begins the slow process of financial democratization.

 

Financial democratization is the process of raising the lower income earners while reducing or eliminating the higher income earners. In other words, there are no truly extremely poor since the government hands-out or highly subsidizes everything needed to live such as housing, food, medical care, education, and vocational directions via their one major tools for social re-engineering:

 

       Taxation and/or fiscal policy

 

By controlling the effective tax rate and fiscal policy legislation, socialistic governments redistribute income and resources from producers towards consumers until the producers, lacking the motivation to produce for which no profit exists, begin to reduce their applied energies, productivity falls, and the government must enact more and more interventionist policies to maintain the level of production necessary to keep the financial bottom from falling back to the poverty levels.

 

This is currently happening in both the UK and Canada as the rate of taxation for nationalized  health care alone with rising and causing more and more discontent from the remaining producers in those countries. If you Google the political referendums in these countries' recent elections, you will see that rising costs of the nationalized health care systems, the lack of service performance from these nationalized health care systems, and the need to raise taxes to pay for this dwindling medical system productivity are at the top of the political discussions.

 

Socialism for those that already rich is not as fearful as those that are trying to achieve a higher level of affability. That is why the Hollywood crowd, the New York talk show and fashion crowd, the Miami real estate crowd, and the wealthy financiers all backed BHO.

 

By moving towards socialism now that they have arrived, they can ensure that what they have will not be taken away since income redistribution affects future income streams and not current amassed wealth.

 

It is only in the more totalitarian forms of socialism: communism, Bolshevism, and fascism where historical wealth is nationalized as well as future income streams. The "beautiful people" feel they don't have to fear loss of accumulated wealth and this will afford them a much better life style than the socialized medium that results from implementation of their espoused political beliefs.

 

Remember, socialism means financial and cultural stagnation: those that have keep, and those that don't have stand pat.
