Socialism in a vacuum

Thanks to Neal Boortz' show this morning, my outrage was focused on this article.

These socialists want to spread the idea that the "rich" people (who got that way through economic liberty and profit seeking) should now give money to help the world's hungry, sick, and poor populations.

Of course, if the socialists ever stopped to read Atlas Shrugged or any economist who disagrees with Karl Marx, they might quickly realize that the only reason people like Bill Gates or Sandra Bullock are in position to help the tsunami victims, AIDS infected in Africa, or starving Mongolians is because they took advantage of free market capitalism.

Without people operating in free markets to make a profit, there is no "extra" wealth to "distribute" to other people and countries. But, rest assured, the bureaucrats at the top like Kofi Annan and Jan Egeland will not be asked to sacrifice their private jets or ski vacations. They'll keep asking the Christians (who they bash and belittle in every other circumstance) to sacrifice and pay for their world view of global wealth distribution.

When will the good Christians in America stand up and recognize that we are committing the sin of suicide by permitting our representatives to fund these criminals and to allow them influence or authority over our sovereignty and national well-being?
