Rising socialism

Unless the American people regain a strong commitment to the traditional American values of self-reliance, individual liberty and equality of opportunity, our democracy will inevitably lead to socialism.

We are seeing an erosion of respect for other people’s property rights and a decline in individual responsibility. We are seeing an increase in entitlement mentality and class envy in our society. Instead of looking in the mirror, we look for scapegoats to explain our misfortune.

Unfortunately, this decline in our traditional values is being championed by the political establishment, including the president of the United States, the intellectual elite and the mainstream media.
