Are we still looking backward for a Utopian solution

Looking back in our past history, what is going on today, in our world of Politics, is nothing new.  Socialism has been on the march in this country, as well as around the world for the past two centuries and is only on the rise in this century. This although Socialism, has a record of failure, whenever and wherever it has been tried.  What we will be witnessing in the Obama administration will only be an intensified effort to reach the goals of socialistic minded citizens and theirch oosen political leaders. Nothing more, nothing less.In this frame of Obamas political goals, I am unwilling to wish him well.  I am opposed to anything that would damage our nation and degrade our liberties and the freedoms we now have, only to appease those that would CHANGE OUR NATION, from democratic rule with all its freedoms encompassed therein, for a SOCIALISTIC STATE. For example: "...was the reception offorded Looking Backward 2000-1887, a utopian novel written in l888 by Edwin Bellamy.  This book, which sold over a million copies in its first few years, described a future America that was completely socialized,all economic activty carefully planned. Bellamy compared 19th-century to a great lumbering stagecoach upon which the favorite few rode in confort while the great mass of people toiled to haul them along life's route..." Now I must ask you, if your are even marginally informed, does this not sound much like a speech given in a more recent past?  Folks riding in a coach, sounds good, but if the coach is overloaded, the horses pulling the wagon will soon collapse from the burden induced by the overloading. Obama's plan to give 95 percent of our citizensa tax break, while taxing only 5 percent of our "Rich" citizens is a 'nutty idea'.We cannot sustain the multitudes off the backs of so few.  If we are a nation of equals, we should have an equal responsibiliy--no one should be given a free ride--espacially at the possiblity of bankrupting the country. Socialism is a none-starter. Government is too incumbent with the self-imposedrules of "big Government" to have total control over the masses.  In just the last two years, we have come to a period as close to we have, at anytime in our past,of destroying American from within.  And how is it that this has come about--Socialistic give aways--entitlements and institutionalized government corruption.  Witness Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac. "Their is no place in civilization for the idler.  None of us has any right to ease."William Cowper.The Messenger.
