So Hillary Clinton finally came out and admitted she’d rather have a country based on socialism, instead of one based on personal responsibility:

Presidential hopeful Hillary Rodham Clinton outlined a broad economic vision Tuesday, saying it’s time to replace an “on your own” society with one based on shared responsibility and prosperity.

I never knew it was my responsibility to provide for the welfare of others, especially in some socialist wealth distribution scheme. I don’t think the Constitution of the United States says anything about distributing the wealth of some for the “welfare” of others in terms of government programs and nanny-state handouts.

“There is no greater force for economic growth than free markets. But markets work best with rules that promote our values, protect our workers and give all people a chance to succeed,” she said. “Fairness doesn’t just happen. It requires the right government policies.”

So it’s the government’s responsibility to create more red tape and regulation for business? I don’t think so. History has shown that the free market works for the betterment of society if left to fend for itself; that the interest of the one will necessarily work for the interest of the whole. It’s time to get the government out of the market, to free business from the red tape and absurd regulations that keep the government in our lives. The market works best when people are allowed to run things - not government officials who want more and more of the people’s freedoms and money for control of an increasingly dependent populace.

Everyone should be reminded of this Hillary quote from 2004:

“We’re saying that for America to get back on track, we’re probably going to cut that short and not give it to you. We’re going to take things away from you on behalf of the common good.”

Her statements do not deny what conservatives have known for a long time; Hillary Clinton wants socialism in this country. If elected President, I believe she will stop at nothing to transform this country into something resembling the typical European economy.
