They want to take away both an individual's responsibility and accountability, sometimes referred to as ‘nanny’ state. Their desire is to control society. Thus, as mentioned in the article (and just like socialist or communistic societies), a two-class system develops. You have the elite class made up of 'party' members or the governing elite and the 'working' class. As citizens of the United States become complacent and allow government to more and more dictate their lives, they will lose their ability to self govern and realize what others have coined as the ‘American Dream.’ Only those who tow the party line will have opportunity. And what has happened to those who disagree with the ‘party’? Do the names of Hitler, Stalin, Mao, and Khmer ring a bell? Unfortunately, tolerance was not one of their endearing characteristics.

I live in the Soviet satellite state of Illinois where corruption is bad as mosquitos in the summer. If Illinois is not a socialist state, we are on our way for sure. We lack good conservative candidates in this state and will be hurting, it seems, for a while. Believe me, no one knows the horrors of living in a liberal stronghold.
