"Thomas Peterffy grew up in socialist Hungary. Despite the fact that he could not speak English when he immigrated to the United States in 1956, Thomas fulfilled the American dream. With hard work and dedication, he started a business that today employs thousands of people."
"Thomas Peterffy - Freedom To Succeed"

(transcript from Free Republic): PETERFFY: "I grew up in a socialist country, and I have seen what that does to people. There is no hope, no freedom, no pride in achievement. The nation became poorer and poorer, and that's what I see happening here. As a young boy I was fantasizing about one day going to America, making a success of myself, the American dream. America's wealth comes from the efforts of people striving for success. Take away their incentive with bad-mouthing success and you take away the wealth that helps us take care of the needy. Yes, in socialism the rich will be poorer, but the poor will also be poorer. People lose interest in really working hard and creating jobs. I think this is a very slippery slope. It seems like people don't learn from the past. That's why I'm voting Republican and href="http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/2944107/posts">putting this ad on television."

Ed. note: It isn't a secret, the left defines utopia
as elimination of the middle class: 4/1/2010, "The Obama Coalition," The Atlantic, Thomas Byrne Edsall. In the US, it was just a matter of changing US immigration laws in 1965, taking a seat, and waiting. Americans bought the idea that third world cultures were equal to or better than theirs. Giving up US borders, language, and culture, in effect committing suicide and homicide, makes many Americans feel superior:

"Obama could effectas promisedthe long-awaited transformation of American politics....A majority of the American labor movement is now directly dependent on tax dollars."

4/1/2010, "The Obama Coalition," The Atlantic, Thomas Byrne Edsall

"Over the last two years, there has been a massive increase in the number of people who have no place to turn except to the government. Enactment of the Obama administration’s health care reform legislation demonstrates the growing power of this burgeoning constituency—a constituency which will reap a disproportionate share of the $1 trillion in new health care spending over the next decade....

Constituencies strongly supportive of government intervention
in the economy to provide a much stronger safety net are expanding. In the 2008 election, three previously-marginalized groups—unmarried women, Latinos, and African Americans—made up 43 percent of the total electorate and just over 62 percent of the voters who backed Obama.  ...
 

As each of these left-leaning constituencies grows, they transform the Democratic Party....   

While these trends have been in evidence for decades, last year, for the first time, public sector union members outnumbered those in the private sector. The consequences of this shift are profound. A majority of the American labor movement is now directly dependent on tax dollars....
 

The fundamental economic issue in post-Great Depression American politics, the issue that dominated politics from the start of the Great Depression into the mid-1960s, has renewed salience....

Health care reform marks a significant milestone in the restoration of the American progressive tradition."...

[Ed. note: Mr. Edsall is misinformed: ObamaCare is an insurance mandate, not a healthcare mandate. It's also a massive tax increase on the middle class, funnels billions to bureaucrat cronies, and guarantees a gold plated separate health care delivery system for the political class to be paid by the underclass.] 


(continuing): "Obama has taken major risks. He could go down in flames; he could blend into history in the manner of Fillmore, Arthur, and Harding; or he could effect—as promised—the long-awaited transformation of American politics."

I double check them for accuracy before posting but Blogger deletes one or more characters so a link isn't made, or they don't accept any part of some links. It uses up my time which I think is what Blogger is after.
