equality is a european value, not an american value

man, this shit is so shocking i actually made a post for it...

Equality, which is the primary value of the left, is a European value, not an American value. Let me tell you that right now. I know this sounds offensive to half of my fellow Americans, because they have been Europeanized in their values. The French Revolution is not the American Revolution. The French Revolution said Liberty, Fraternity, Equality. The American Revolution said Life, Liberty, and the Pursuit of Happiness. We have lost touch with what our distinctive American values are. We have distinctive American values. … We have a better value system, and this is being protected by one of the two parties: the Republican party.

hmmm

We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness. - declaration of independence

isn't it bizarre that this is the same republican party that fought against slavery?

what's hypocritical is that members of the republican party today are equally white...how dare they...

and the socialists are...

obama:

progressive taxation to give tax cuts to benefit the lower class and the middle class while increasing taxes for the upper class.

calls it spreading the wealth.

mccain:

used to support progressive taxation (jake tapper). not anymore...

palin:

used the money she got from the oil company and gave it back to alaskans. i'm pretty sure that she was for spreading the wealth...

reagan:

gave money to the working class under the poverty line. called the earned income tax credit.

fdr:

supporter of progressive taxation (taxes increase with income)

and who is a big fan of fdr? mccain.

adam smith:

the necessaries of life occasion the great expense of the poor. they find it difficult to get food, and the greater part of their little revenue is spent in getting it. the luxuries and vanities of life occasion the principal expense of the rich, and a magnificent house embellishes and sets off to the best advantage all the other luxuries and vanities which they possess. a tax upon house-rents, therefore, would in general fall heaviest upon the rich; and in this sort of inequality there would not, perhaps, be anything very unreasonable. it is not very unreasonable that the rich should contribute to the public expense, not only in proportion to their revenue, but something more than in that proportion. - the wealth of nations

see what happens when you have over-patriotic, ignorant, anti-intellectual, uneducated fools expressing their point of views?
