Growing Socialist Problem

Regarding your article “Suckish Socialism” by Alex Newman (October 10 issue), the great leader Jesus emphasized to his disciples to provide service rather than seeking a quest for power, in Matthew 20:24-28. The socialist infection in America is rooted in a narcissist infestation, as our leaders are addicted to power rather than providing service to constituents as Jesus suggested.

A thirst for power causes narcissists to be attracted to politics like a magnet. Eventually all or most of the leadership positions in government become clogged with narcissists such as Hillary Clinton, Paul Ryan, Mitch McConnell, and President Barack Obama.

The implementation of the income tax, the creation of the Federal Reserve System, and the evolution of Congress from a part-time into a full-time body created an environment for the narcissist infestation to become fatal. Narcissist politicians view the solution to every problem as the creation of another federal agency, owing to the need to have the center of power under their control in Washington. In turn, there is a tendency to appoint clones of the narcissist politician or former politicians to the heads of the federal agencies.
