Hillary's Marxist Roots are Showing

The supposed heir-apparent to the Bush/Clinton dynastic throne- aka Hillary Clinton- is letting her Marxist roots show in her latest proposal- to give every child born in America a $5,000 account, to be issued along with their birth certificate. This is just another glimpse into her thinking towards her ultimate goal- the redistribution of wealth in America.

This is wrong on so many levels, I'm not even sure where to begin attacking it. I'll start by the illegal alien implications. Since Mr(s) Clinton seems to favor allowing the unfettered flow of aliens across our "border" with Mexico, I assume that all of the anchor babies will be included in her program. As if the billions in Federal and State aid the invaders are receiving, now we're going to up the ante even further, and provide even more incentive for the invasion to continue.

The cost per year is prohibitive. Live birth numbers in America hover around 4,000,000 annually, and that trend will likely continue, if not increase. If every child born receives $5,000, that $20,000,000,000 per year. In just 5 years, that'll total $100 billion. Where is that money going to come from? Spending cuts? Please. Couple this program with her mandatory health care plan, and we're going to be at a trillion dollars before we know it, just for those 2 boondoggles. Rolling back the Bush tax cuts isn't going to provide enough revenue, and true to progressive form (and Neocon form, for that matter), the only answer will be to raise taxes.

Then there's one tiny detail that seems to mean nothing to the Bush/Clinton regime- there's no constitutional basis for it whatsoever. Not only is it horrible fiscal and social policy, in light of the Tenth Amendment, it's indefensible from a constitutional perspective. But that matters very little to progressives and neocons alike- they only care about our greatest document when it suits them and their agenda.

Hillary if trying to rekindle the theology of FDR and LBJ- government is god, and is our only means of salvation. In the case of their religion (the state is god), Marx was right- religion is the opiate of the masses. Judging from the latest Presidential Preference polls, half the voting public is under the influence.

Marxism is alive and well, and married to Bill Clinton.
