Socialism is a modern Trojan Horse. It is easy to accept and espouse when in reality it is fraught with evils and ills that undermine the very foundations of Democracy and Capitalism. Socialism has many problems that affect negatively the well being of all of us and our civilization. Ronald Reagan was very astute regarding the problems associated with Socialism. He offered us some of the best quotes pertaining to Socialism and Big Government.

Laertis Proprietary 1

2. Socialism Directly Offers :
 Entitlement programs
 Health Care for all
 Other social programs (safety net for the poor, the old
and the ill)
 Help for the Unions
 Help for all feel good causes
 Help for all minorities
 Better social conditions
Laertis Proprietary 2

3. Socialism Indirectly Promotes:
 Distribution of wealth
 Laziness and idleness
 Parity
 Mediocrity
 Non-competitive spirit  loss of jobs  loss of wealth
 loss of power and stature
 Pacifistic and defeatist attitudes
 Nihilistic and Existentialistic precepts
Laertis Proprietary 3

4. Socialism Appeals To:
 The freeloaders, slackers, drones
 The underprivileged
 The incapable, the illiterate
 The low IQ ones, the dim-witted
 The poor, the destitute, the impoverished
 The deprived, the needy
 The derelict, the neglected, the abandoned
 The abused and mistreated, the sociopaths
Laertis Proprietary 4

5. Why It Appeals To Them?
 Because they want to have what other people have.
Jealousy is the primary reason. Why should the people
with education, high IQ, privilege and luck enjoy
things that they can’t?
 In their (sick or limited) minds, “It is not fair!”
Laertis Proprietary 5

6. … Some Kids Never Grow Up
Laertis Proprietary 6

7. Think About This:
What is the difference
between a barbarian or a
vandal and a modern
socialist?
None! They both want what
other people have. And if
they cannot get it the easy The Visigoths sacked Rome
way they have to destroy it! The Turks sacked Constantinople
They cannot stand to see The Socialists are sacking The West
other people prosper
Laertis Proprietary 7

8. Most People Do Not Understand
This:
 Life is NOT fair!
 No laws or political systems can make it fair!
 Laws and political systems can make life a little easier,
but life will never be fair
Laertis Proprietary 8

9. Important Realizations
 No laws can force people go to school and become
educated (really educated)
 No laws can increase IQ or smarts
 No laws can make things really equitable for all
 No laws can make us all really equal
Yes, we are different … and for a good reason
 No laws can fix families that self-destruct
 No laws can stop parents from abandoning their kids
Laertis Proprietary 9

10. It Is A Fantasy …
 To believe that someone or the Government itself will
be able to intervene and make things nice … and fair …
and reasonable. It is in our human nature to want
such evenhanded environment and a just world, but it
will never happen. Communism has proven this many
times over around the world. Failed socialist
governments (like the Greek ones) have proven that
point as well
Laertis Proprietary 10

11. So, Get Over It!
 If you want to enjoy life the right way, then:
 Get the best education that you can
 Get into a profession that always is going to pay well
 Plan your career. Manage your career. Make each career
move count
 Build wealth (slowly at first, but at an accelerated pace at
the end of your career). Manage your wealth
Laertis Proprietary 11

12. Socialism Also Appeals To:
 The bleeding hearts
 The do-gooders
 The “sensitive people”
 The idealists, the romantics
 The Holy Grail chasers
 The spurious and empty-headed religious devotees
seeking God’s favoritism
 The phony philanthropists seeking publicity
Laertis Proprietary 12

13. Why It Appeals To Them?
 Because Socialism sounds good. It appeals to the good
and sensitive side of people. It appeals to those that
want to help others, and it appeals to those seeking
redemption. It is easy to see why Socialism appeals to
so many people
 It feels good to play Robin Hood with other people’s
money
Laertis Proprietary 13

14. Moreover, Socialism Is Easy To Sell
 You want “free” health care? You got it
 You want to retire at the age of 58? You got it
 You want 3-6 weeks vacation per year? You got it
 You want a bigger pension? You got it
 You want to work fewer hours per week? You got it
 What else do you want?
Laertis Proprietary 14

15. Socialism sells
this
Laertis Proprietary 15

16. Remember
 Someone has to pay for all that --- as the Greek citizens
found out the hard way
 Governments want to give you things because they
want your vote. Their attitude is that “By the time
these idiots will find out that there is no money for all
this, I would be out of here. I would already be retired
and my family taken care of. Moreover, by then the
idiots would already have already named a highway or
building after me!”
Laertis Proprietary 16

17. Top Realizations
 There are no free gifts. Someone has to pay for them
 Socialism also weakens a country’s will to fight its
enemies
Pacifism is for immature brains
that cannot face reality or
comprehend the facts of life
Laertis Proprietary 17

18. Based on the wrong belief
Socialism Demands that it is Government that
will make things fair for
everyone.
 Big Government It’s another fantasy of idiotic
people that don’t understand
life or government
Laertis Proprietary 18

19. Unfortunately, Socialism Is The
Product Of Bad Capitalism …
And Capitalism is the result of Bad Socialism
Laertis Proprietary 19

resemblance to the first”

summed up in a few short phrases:
If it moves, tax it. If it keeps moving, regulate it.
And if it stops moving, subsidize it”
Laertis Proprietary 28

29. Attributed To Ronald Reagan
 “Politics is not a bad profession. If you succeed,
there are many rewards; if you disgrace yourself,
you can always write a book.”
 “No arsenal, or no weapon in the arsenals of the
world, is as formidable as the will and moral
courage of free men and women.”
 “If we ever forget that we're one nation under
GOD, then we will be a nation gone under.”
Laertis Proprietary 29
