Hillary Clinton supporters completely ignore her life-long support of Marxism and résumé full of political crime and corruption second to none, because they like her sales pitch of free health care and promises to strip "rich folks" of their lawful earnings and individual right to pursue happiness, just to use the money to buy votes from Americans who have used their freedoms less wisely.
The facts don't matter at all, so long as the sales pitch is strong. They buy into her promise to remove .25 cents in federal taxes from a gallon of gas, and ignore her promise to replace it with a .50 cent per gallon tax at the corporate level, as if they don't know that the corporation will pass that .50 cents per gallon tax right back down to the people at the pumps.
Is Hillary Clinton not smart enough to know what she is suggesting, or is she simply smart enough to know just how ignorant her voters are? For the record, Hillary is very smart. For you Hillary supporters, find a mirror to see the fool.
John McCain is conservative on many issues. But not on the most pressing issues of our day. On illegal immigration, national sovereignty and security, stopping the next 9/11 and returning America to prosperity and power through the capitalist concepts that made us a great nation to begin with, he is a liberal. Yet many of his supporters fail to hold his feet to the fire on the issues that matter most as well, because his sales pitch is not as crazy as his Marxist opponents.
No Free Lunch
Despite the fact that your grandpa was 1000% right when he told you that "there is no free lunch on this earth," you still hope to find a free lunch somewhere, somehow. And politicians smart enough to hear this will of the people are devious enough in their quest for power to pander to that will, knowing all the time that Americans are voting themselves out of freedom and back into tyranny at every election, in their search for more free stuff.
A Cancer
Greed is a very real emotion which can be used for good or evil. When it is the factor which motivates a man to develop life saving medicines or technologies, greed is good. But when it motivates other men to take the lawful earnings of others, to grab personal power via corrupt political office by buying the votes of fools, greed is evil.
Money is neither good nor evil. When used for good, money is good and when used for evil, it becomes evil. There is no more evil on earth than the enslavement of human beings in the name of a greater common good. There is no greater common good than individual freedom itself.
And there is No Running from Reality
Since no two human beings are created exactly alike, there is no such thing as absolute equality. Every individual is unique, with different dreams, talents, desires and tolerances for risk or pain. So, each individual enjoys a unique set of results, or life circumstances. Some are driven by the pursuit of wealth, others by the pursuit of power and still others by much simpler pleasures.
