REMEMBER THIS? Just over sixty years ago - September 29, 1959 - the Soviet Union's Nikita Khrushchev delivered this prediction for America to the United Nations:

Your children's children will live under communism, You Americans are so gullible. No, you won't accept communism outright; but we will keep feeding you small doses of socialism until you will finally wake up and find you already have Communism. We will not have to fight you; We will so weaken your economy, until you will fall like overripe fruit into our hands. The democracy will cease to exist when you take away from those who are willing to work and give to those who would not.

Here are some thoughts on how to get there:

Healthcare - Control healthcare and you control the people.

Poverty - Increase the poverty level as high as possible, poor people are easier to control and will not fight back if you are providing everything for them.

Debt - Increase the debt to an unsustainable level. That way you are able to increase taxes, and this will produce more poverty.

Gun Control - Remove the ability to defend themselves from the Government That way you are able to create a police state.

Welfare - Take control of every aspect (food, housing, income) of their lives because
that will make them fully dependent on the government.

Education - Take control of what people read and listen to and take control of what children learn in school.

Religion - Remove the belief in God from the Government and schools because the people need to believe in ONLY the government knowing what is best for the people.

Class Warfare - Divide the people into the wealthy and the poor. Eliminate the middle class. This will cause more discontent and it will be easier to tax the wealthy with the support of the poor.

Sound like the Democratic Socialism?

[Yes, it's from my email and yes, it's been around the block a few times. But as the Democrat debates continue, it looks more and more relevant.]
