Is theft by force the same as "sharing"?

The item - from a fundraiser in Chicago
"Too many folks still don't have a sense that tomorrow will be better
than today. And so, the question in this election is which way do we
go?" President Obama asked at a fundraiser in Chicago on Sunday.
"Do we go forward towards a new vision of an America in which prosperity
is shared?" Obama asked. "Or do we go backward to the same policies
that got us in the mess in the first place?"
"I believe we have to go forward," Obama said. "I believe we have to
keep working to create an America where no matter who you are, no matter
what you look like, no matter where you come from, no matter what your
last name is, no matter who you love, you can make it here if you try.
That's what's at stake in November. That's what is why I am running for a
second term as president of the United States of America."

Obama uses the term "sharing" because his followers think it is such a warm cozy word. What he doesn't say is that the government will forcefully take one citizen's money and give it to another citizen who isn't as productive, or as creative, or as oriented to work. Which side of the aisle do you believe cheers?
Below I've placed some graphics about sharing. Please tell me which one depicts a "sharing" that is forced upon one for the advantage of another.
The above pictures were about sharing. The next ones are about theft
Sharing is a voluntary gesture of one person or a group of persons sharing whatever they choose with others. It is always a kindness. It never involves force or threats.
"Sharing the wealth" by government fiat, cannot be done. When the government dictates sharing one's wealth, it is accomplished by force and if there is anything benevolent about force, I wish someone would explain it to me. Sharing gives people good feelings. Theft of one's property removes all trust of the thief and does NOTHING to engender good feelings between the one being stolen from and the one receiving the stolen property. In this case there are TWO people happy: the thief, and the one receiving the stolen property. There is no benevolence involved - it is totally about greed.
I would suggest to parents that anytime you see signs stating that "sharing is good", that you assume it is a ruse to take away from your child in order to give to another. That is not sharing. That is denying your child his rights. Teach your kids what sharing is and what theft is.

BUT "equal" which is what liberal want is not determined by who has the most (as most liberals think it is) it is determined by who has the least. So. Equal would be everyone having a TV. That is EQUAL... but what kind of TV? Well a rich man might want a 100 inch plasma with surround sound... only the man who lives in a trailer can't manage that... but wait what about the man who doesn't want a TV at all? well to be "equal" no one can have a Tv becasue when things are equal no ne has what someone elses doesn't. So to be equal none of us can have homes or positions of any kind and becasue of mental illness and physical sickness we also can not have food, shelter, and many other things as there are many who wont accept them.
Liberals want things to be "equal" but when they start having what they "fair-ly" earned taken away they might change their minds
We the People are supposed to be protected by the Constitution, but the Supreme Court, the House and Senate, and the President choose to abusively reinterpret that great document to give themselves almost unlimited power, which they share with the many special interests. There is no sharing with most of the People, though there is much pretense that there is real sharing. The People will all be much better off with a constitutionally limited and small government. We need to take power away from the swarms of officials eating out the substance of the land and acting like parasites on We the People, their hosts.
Yes, it IS theft to take money unequally from those who have to give to those who are illegal or don't bother to earn their own.
Breeding votes by creating poverty and dependency on Government, is slavery.
Any time one is forced to labor for the welfare of another be they on the dole (welfare or subsidies) or in the government one is a slave to that person. The only time it is not theft is when the person voluntarily chooses to trade, like when we go to the store or purchase a service like cell phone or cable service.
They also need to know that the government mandates that they participate in select government organizations. They call it volunteering but the choice is made for you.
New education directives from Obama include hundreds of hours of community service and summer camps.
The service they perform in their own communities, churches and charities does not count in the governments eyes. Mandatory servitude = slavery, read the "GIVE " act.
Admittedly, I'm only a third of the way through the text of it so far (slow skimming so I may have missed something). It's awful.

One of my best friends, a teacher, was helping her son to complete his college applications and financial records and thanks to my pleas she read through the enitire contract. She called me to thank me for alerting her of the ways her son would repay his college debt and because of the stipulations of the gov't terms she chose a home equity loan rather than have her son sign off to join peace corps, Vista, Americorps etc.
The teachers do not even know the terms of these govt loans so they are unknowingly promoting them to students.
My children have participated in many community service programs and none of their service (Autism, Alzheimers, building community gardens, organizing read in's and book drives for impoverished schools,etc) is acceptabe to the govt to fulfill the service requirements.
Since maturing, I've had a healthy distrust of government, but I never really worried about it until all the "gimme" programs began to flourish, but even then I kept the faith. However, once I heard that actual Americans had elected an empty suit without resume or credentials, I was floored. Our government is NOT our friend. If anything, it is our biggest and most lethal foe.
Keep on keeping on, Michaelene! I will too!!
Our nation did not need a volunteer bill since community service and volunteering are at an all time high (began after 9/11) without any incentive or gains other than good citizenship and a sense of giving back.
As usual government passed a sweetly named bill that takes from others by using government control.
Nationalizing our student loan programs along with many private industries has done nothing but hurt Americans and take more money from programs in need and give it to those who need to control.
The devastating [global] collapse ahead can be enjoyed only because GOVERN will be realized as the culprit [AT LAST!], and the survivors will be those who know better. At least it well be the END of Forced Sharing!

If you haven't heard of the School Sucks Podcast/Project (two different websites, same guy), I highly recommend it. It's aimed at high school and college aged kids but it's really well done. He's a voluntarist/ancap advocating an end to the government school system.

It's been wonderful since he came home. We work together to determine what he's interested in learning and we just do it. Presently he wants to learn how to program a game for his computer so he's been spending most of his time studying everything he needs to know to do it and when he's not doing that he's making videos of walkthroughs and learning how to improve his camera shots and speaking. He's very entertaining. He used to hate reading the books they gave but now that he has the freedom to choose he reads all the time. We go to the beach for science lessons and he looks up information about waves, sea life. Or we talk to his grandfather who was a research scientist and he directs us to articles and friends of his. It's pretty awesome.
The claim against socialization is a ruse to keep kids in schools (where they will learn to be good socialists). There are a lot of home school groups, kids in the neighborhood, after school groups and classes where he can find friends with similar interests. These ar...

The claim against socialization is a ruse to keep kids in schools (where they will learn to be good socialists). There are a lot of home school groups, kids in the neighborhood, after school groups and classes where he can find friends with similar interests. These are all more natural ways of finding friends than being forced into a building under threat. Moreover, I think the friends they make in school are as much protection from other kids as real friendships. And only having friends who are the exact same age is just weird. Where would that happen naturally?
I was very nervous about doing it but now that we're on the other side I'd recommend it to anyone.
I doubt that any Republicans have serious redistributive beliefs, but know many to be abject cowards when facing the Left's coalition of Democrats and media.
Good to see you here, again, Roland! Hope all is well with you and yours.
