Quote of the day–DER NATIONALSOZIALISMUS DOKUMENTE

We ask that the government undertake the obligation above all of providing citizens with adequate opportunity for employment and earning a living. The activities of the individual must not be allowed to clash with the interests of the community, but must take place within its confines and be for the good of all. Therefore, we demand: . . . and end to the power of the financial interests. We demand profit sharing in big business. We demand a broad extension of care for the aged. We demand  . . . the greatest possible consideration  of small business in the purchases of national, state, and municipal governments. In order to make possible to every capable and industrious [citizen] the attainment of higher education and thus the achievement of a post of leadership, the government must provide an all-around enlargement of our entire system of public education . . . . We demand the education at government expense of gifted children of poor parents . . .

The government must undertake the improvement of public health – by protecting mother and child, by prohibiting child labor . .  by the greatest possible support for all clubs concerned with the physical education of youth. We combat the  . . .  materialistic spirit within and without us, and are convinced that a permanent recovery of our people can only proceed from within on the foundation of the common good before the individual good.

  1. That could have been written by Ted Kennedy, Hillary, or, with minor edits, by George W. Bush, or by several current justices of the Supreme Court.
