Paging Karl Marx

Obama's panacea for our economic ills?

Economic stimulus checks for the American people courtesy of Big Oil's profits.

While it's insulting and frankly scary that Obama would assault constitutionally-protected private property to pursue a populist economic agenda, the idea is representative of Obama's clear neo-Marxist pursuits of income redistribution.

Now American corporations are warning that a Democratic victory in November might mean rollbacks on labor union regulations.

While unions do not inherently quash an efficient marketplace, a new era of Big Labor courtesy of President Obama and a Democratic Congress would stymie economic growth and hurt consumers.

Don't believe me? Come here to Michigan. When labor unions overreach their good intentions, everyone loses.

I think the messianic sheen of Obama is wearing off, though.

He's now tied with McCain in the Gallup poll.

Let's hope more folks remember that these "new" ideas aren't new at all. They're 19th century ideas that were proven wrong in practice in the 20th century.

Let's learn from history and keep dead-as-a-doornail Karl and his faulty ideas in the ground, shall we?
