I agree with Mr. Ward      that socialism fails. Every. Single. Time. Yet, the 21 state      representatives keep pushing this immoral Fair Shot Agenda      that promises us free stuff.    <\/p>\n<p>      Last year, presidential contender Sen. Bernie Sanders      promised lots of free stuff to be paid for by the      one-percenters. The Venezuelans were ahead of Bernie. They      happily voted for Hugo Chavez in 1999. Chavez, too, promised      free stuff. As a result, every useful idiot and NPR      intellectual told us how lucky the Venezuelans where to have      such a wise and great leader. It took Venezuela only 18 years      from being a prosperous nation to starvation. Yet, can I      expect the NPR intellectuals or 21 state reps and R.I. voters      to learn from this example? Of course not.    <\/p>\n<p>      In the May 1, 2000, issue of National Review was a column on      Cuba by John Derbyshire titled: Still Useful, and Idiotic.      I still remember the line: Wherever there is a jackboot      stomping on a human face there will be a well-heeled Western      liberal to explain that the face does, after all, enjoy free      health care and 100 percent literacy.    <\/p>\n<p>      The monstrous immorality of altruism, of sacrificing      prosperity to starvation, of sacrificing life to death,      preached by the useful idiots, is beyond comprehension. Maybe      Tom Ward should do what the heroes in Atlas Shrugged did.      Go on strike.
