'Redistribution' of wealth is stealing

| October 30, 2012 7:00 AM

Every major religion and culture of the world has something negative to say about stealing. Stealing is directly condemned by the Ten Commandments. In fact, every major religion and culture of the world has exhortations against stealing.

Socialism is a political system which justifies stealing. But stealing is wrong, even if it is done by the highest authority in the land. In our case, if the socialist Democrats declare that they are going to impose higher taxes on the wealthy in order to “redistribute” that money to the middle or lower class, that is stealing — no matter how you toss the dice!

Obama’s Marxist socialism is nothing less than government-justified stealing. Obama has made it clear that he intends to tax (i.e. “steal from”) the wealthy in order to “redistribute” that money to the less fortunate.

Should we support government theft by voting for Obama?
