The Media Simply Does Not Understand Econ 101.

The Fundamental Flaw In Social Security And Medicare Is That They Violate The 'welfare Principle' In Economics. The Welfare Principle Forms The Fundamental Basis Of All Charitable Work In Churches And Other Private Organizations: Assist Those Who Need Help, And Equally Important, Don't Assist Individuals Who Can Take Care Of Themselves.

Taxation Is The Price We Pay For Failing To Build A Civilized Society. The Higher The Tax Level, The Greater The Failure. A Centrally Planned Totalitarian State Represents A Complete Defeat For The Civilized World, While A Totally Voluntary Society Represents Its Ultimate Success.

Balance In Life Is The Key, As Aristotle Taught Us. Nobody Likes A Naive Pollyanna, But Neither Do We Like To Be Around People Who Are Constantly Complaining And Finding Fault.

Most Of Marx's Predictions Have Failed To Materialize, And His Labor Theory Of Value And Other Ideas Have Been Proven Wrong. Marx Failed To Recognize The Incentive System Built Into The Capitalist Model - Consumer Choice And The Profit Motive Of The Entrepreneur. The Irony Is That Capitalism, Not Socialism Or Marxism, That Has Liberated The Worker From The Chains Of Poverty, Monopoly, War, And Oppression, And Has Better Achieved Marx's Vision Of A Millennium Of Hope, Peace, Abundance, Leisure, And Aesthetic Expression For The 'full' Human Being.
