Political Posts.....In Their Own Words

"Here is my principle: Taxes shall be levied according to ability to pay. That is the only American principle."--Franklin D. Roosevelt

“We can’t expect the American people to jump from Capitalism to Communism, but we can assist their elected leaders in giving them small doses of Socialism, until they awaken one day to find that they have Communism.”--Nikita Khrushchev

“The American people will never knowingly adopt Socialism. But under the name of ‘liberalism’ they will adopt every fragment of the Socialist program, until one day America will be a Socialist nation, without knowing how it happened.”--Norman Thomas (Socialist Party presidential candidate Norman Thomas, grandfather of Newsweek's Evan Thomas)

"Paying more taxes is the patriotic thing to do. We want to take money and put it back in the pocket of middle class."--Joe Biden, VP of USA

"I think when you spread the wealth around, it's good for everybody."--B H Obama, President of USA
