WHEREAS, the Democratic Party has outlined their plans to nationalize the banking, financial and healthcare industries; and

WHEREAS, the Democratic Party has proposed massive government bailouts for the mortgage and auto industries; and

WHEREAS, the Democratic Party has passed trillions of dollars in new government spending, all with strings attached in order to control nearly every aspect of American life; and

WHEREAS, Newsweek reported recently, “Whether we like it or not – or even whether many people have thought much about it or not – the numbers clearly suggest that we are headed in a more European direction…As entitlement spending rises over the next decade, we will become even more French;” and

WHEREAS, The Wall Street Journal reported recently, “But tucked away in the spending bill is a change that will both reduce work and increase welfare by paying states to increase their welfare caseloads;” and

WHEREAS, history has demonstrated that free markets and free men are the only way to prosperity and have been the bedrock of the United States economy; and

WHEREAS, the Democratic Party seeks to expand government control of the daily lives of Americans; and

WHEREAS, the Democratic Party and its leadership have dedicated themselves to a new taxing objective of direct income redistribution which takes additional taxes from one group of people and gives it in direct cash transfers to another group of people who pay no federal income taxes; and

WHEREAS, the American traditions of hard work and free enterprise are at risk as the Democratic Party pushes our country towards European-style socialism and government control; therefore be it

RESOLVED, that we the members of the Republican National Committee recognize the Democratic Party’s clear and obvious purpose in proposing, passing, and implementing socialist programs through federal legislation; and be it further

RESOLVED, that we the members of the Republican National Committee recognize that the Democratic Party is dedicated to restructuring American society along socialist ideals; and be it further
