Ezra Taft Benson

Now that I have a concentrated outlet to fume, I may not stop. This inspired man talked about the dangers of socialism and communism a couple of decades ago, and warned that it would not be long before we as Americans lived under their bondage. Are we not seeing this happening right this moment? Check out the video by clicking here.

If you can listen to this and still ask yourself what is wrong with socialism, I would submit that you don't have it in you to work to improve your own life, to think for yourself or defend yourself when times are hard. And if your safety net is the federal government, you might want to ask yourself when a politician actually did something that wasn't primarily in his or her own best interest, and instead truly and sincerely did their job to protect you.

A couple of highlights from the sound clip:

1) Collectivized socialism is a counterfeit system of what God's plan is.
2) Communism in practice, is socialism.
3) Its purpose is world socialism, which is achieved through revolution by the communists, and through evolution by the socialists.
4) Both philosophies lead to the same thing: a loss of personal liberty.
5) Socialism cannot work unless it is within an all-powerful State. (SCARY!!!) That State has to be superior in everything.
6) Congress, back then was establishing a redistribution of wealth through the tax system. That, by definition, is socialism.
7) Welfare is no longer a charity. It is a right. We think we are entitled to the government's aid.
8) If we continue to follow the trend we are heading today (in 1977), two things will inevitably result: 1) a loss of our personal freedom, and 2) financial bankruptcy. (YIPPEE!!!)
