Workers of the World, Unite!

Presidential hopeful Hillary Rodham Clinton outlined a broad economic vision Tuesday, saying it’s time to replace an “on your own” society with one based on shared responsibility and prosperity.

The Democratic senator said what the Bush administration touts as an “ownership society” really is an “on your own” society that has widened the gap between rich and poor.

“I prefer a ‘we’re all in it together’ society,” she said. “I believe our government can once again work for all Americans. It can promote the great American tradition of opportunity for all and special privileges for none.”

That means pairing growth with fairness, she said, to ensure that the middle-class succeeds in the global economy, not just corporate CEOs.

Not only do these failed socialist policies represent economic suicide, but we’ve learned that the removal of first order concerns from the lives of citizens eventually leads to social suicide as well. It is precisely the kind of policies that Hillary wants to implement in America that have lead Europe to social disintegration, as shown by Mark Steyn’s excellent book America Alone. This absence of responsibility in taking care of oneself has left their societies both incapable of defending against the infringement of radical Islam and utterly apathetic to the fact that they are (un)breeding themselves into dissolution.
