Reverend Al Sharpton has rallied disaffected and unemployed masses to the Washington Mall, akin to the 1963 "I Have a Dream Speech" read by Reverend Martin Luther King, Jr.
Not just his empty political niceties, but the disturbing Marxist implications of King's son are now the subject of growing inquiry:
"Over 45 years ago, my father talked about a redistribution of wealth. In fact, that is probably why he was killed," King said. "Because he said if America is going to survive responsibly, then it must have a redistribution of wealth."
There is no freedom in a society when one group takes from another in order to benefit, in name only, everyone else.
This is not the dream that Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. preached about in 1963. This is the nightmare of Karl Marx and his zealous minions, who infiltrated or overthrew governments throughout the world, subjugated millions, and massacred millions more than the fascist regimes of World War II.
Mr. King is hoping for a redistribution of wealth. Whose wealth would he like to redistribute? His own, perhaps? The American people have had enough of social schemes which take money from the workers of today to subsidize the retirees of today. The scheme is immoral and dysfunction, rewarding those who do nothing with the limited income of those who choose to provide for themselves and their families.
If not his wealth, then he must be targeting other people's money. Where has the legacy of taking from the "rich" to pay the "poor" gotten us?
The mass murders and exploitation of the Russian people at the hands of the Soviet Union.
The Killing Fields of Pol Pot in Cambodia.
The Great Leap Forward of Maoist China, which was a Great Fall Backward for the Chinese People, one that they are slowly getting up from.
And who can forget the scores of Vietnamese who fled their homeland after the full ascendancy of Ho Chi Minh and the Viet Cong, who upon final consolidation over Indochina, wiped out every teacher, doctor, lawyer, merchant -- any "agent" of the Middle Class, those who could have used and invested their wealth to the greater good of all.
To this day, the world is witnessing the millions in North Korea who are barely subsisting under the leadership of Dear Leader Kim Jong-Il, who has taken "redistribution of wealth" to mean "take everything for myself."
No, Mr. King, we do not need a redistribution of wealth in this country. We need a wealth of ideas respecting every American citizen's rights to life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness. Let every man make do with what he has, without interference from the government, which has been the prime instigator of segregation and poverty ever since the launching of the abortive "Great Society."
