FDR, LBJ, BO

  Socialism Fails, Capitalism Succeeds

But socialism does win elections.

The masses are such clods.

 
Study of the 1930s' Great Depression demonstrates that neither FDR, his New Deal, nor any of his meddling with the price of gold, meaningfully improved people's lives. FDR failed to end the Great Depression. He actually lengthened its duration through meddling in markets that -- if free -- would have self-corrected.
World War II ended the Great Depression by enlivening capitalism and providing irrefutable need to restart industry and hire millions of workers for all sorts of low and high-paying jobs.

During the 1960s, LBJ's Great Society legislation laid the seeds and trained the less worthy. The unworthy learned -- and uses it as stubborn fact -- that they are entitled to handouts for not working, but for simply being kind enough to us and live in the USA, using its resources, and damaging its cultural, social, economic, and workplace landscapes.

As he was elected in 2008, Obama was being hailed by many as the great redistributor of successful people's wealth. It was openly and brazenly proclaimed, that he would take from the wealthy and successful in order to give to the unworthy and less successful.
Nowhere and at no time in history has socialism or communism served the majority of people well. These systems have been proven and demonstrated as being evil and destructive to incentive, productivity, and joy.
Socialism and communism survive only if they are immersed in, and supported by, a thriving, productive capitalistic economy.
