The Gist

The gist of our problem and the obvious solution.

Today as a nation, we stand at the crossroads of a monumental decision.  We must decide whether to disregard the Constitution and make government responsible for people’s lives thereby becoming a Socialist society, or do we uphold the Constitution by holding government to a minimum and making people responsible for their lives.

For those who would argue that the role of government is to help those in need I would agree.  But we cannot help those who truly need help if we spread ourselves to thin by promising to help everyone with everything.

We are now faced with a situation where we are becoming broke because  politicians have learned to buy votes by giving people free stuff.  That, in any way, shape, or form was never supposed to happen under our Constitution.

It will be easy to stop helping business.  The business world helps itself in that a market does not go away and any business that collapses  will be taken up by another and the market goes on.

The real question is government entitlements.

For quite a number of years we have heard the refrain from the liberal left that we have to raise taxes on the wealthy.  And they use words like fairness and sharing to justify their theft.  Even though the rich already give a greater percentage of their money to their irresponsible spending.  Thus forcing the rich to be unwilling accomplices in their corruption.

And what is their excuse for stealing this money.  They say they are taking care of people who need help.   I say “Bullshit”.  When you look at the system they have created you see a system based more on keeping the money flowing through their hands then on actually helping those who need it.

They keep the money in their hands by employing more government agencies who then vote for their jobs.  Unions who give their outrageous union dues back to the Party.  And the common people who they have encouraged to become dependent on the government.  Thus buying their vote.  All illegal under the Constitution.

The one question that has never been brought up in all this, is that, if we don’t want to bankrupt ourselves with all these commitments, why don’t we make government help based on the idea of making people independent from government,  thus turning them into productive contributors, instead of keeping them dependent on the government and a drain on the economy?

There used to be a saying when I was a kid, beggars can’t be choosy”.

The liberals point an accusing finger at conservatives and blame them for the problems of the poor, for not giving more.  As if they are responsible for other people’s lives.

Liberalism shows it’s bankrupt nature, thus destroying any credibility it might think it has, when it fails to make the poor person responsible for their own lives.  Liberals never ask why the poor person chose not to get an education, or get a skill, or just a simple job.

These are all decisions the poor person decided to make.  They decided to make their lives a burden on others.  So before anyone has the gall to look at a person who does not make themselves a burden on others, they should at least make everyone responsible for their own lives.

It’s funny that all these accusations of responsibility come from liberals who think they believe in Darwin.  But Darwin believed in Natural Selection through survival of the fittest while liberals always try to elevate the weaker over the stronger.  They would have us believe that we can turn the responsibility of our survival over to a government.

We should remember that the only animals in the animal kingdom who do not take an active role in their own survival are the babies and parasites.   Socialism is when the parasite thinks it’s the host.  It then elevates itself to virus status which kills the host.

When I hear Barack Obama demonize profit it sounds like the flea complaining that the dog eats too much.

There is only one way to stop the culture of corruption in Washington and that is to make all government help contingent on making the recipient independent from government.      That’s the first thing.

The next is to attack the perpetual lie that we need to raise taxes to increase revenue.  Reagan proved that if government were business friendly and lowered taxes the economy would grow and the government would bring in more revenue.  And more people would have a job so they wouldn’t need government help.

Obama admitted as much when someone pointed out to him that fact and he said it was more about fairness, thus proving the Democrats are more concerned with their power then with helping people.

I have an observation.

The Liberals call their idea of big government progressive and would have us think it is something new. Do the examples of the Soviet Union and China elude them?  The only progressive idea in our history is Capitalism through a free market economy.   Lets look at this with honesty.

In the whole history of our planet, it has always been, that the monarchy or ruler of a nation controlled the economy of that nation.  They stifled the economy by their control because nothing happened outside the sphere of their perception.

America through capitalism and a free market economy has been the only progressive idea to come along because it was the first time that an economy became separate from the government.  People became free to create and live a better life.  No government stood in their way to stifle their ambition.  That model created the greatest standard of living this planet has known and we pulled the rest of the world up with us.

Now these Liberal Socialists would have us believe that their ideas of big government are ‘progressive’.   The results so far speak for themselves.

These liberals have to learn how to help people without hurting someone else.  At every opportunity we have to stress the fact that being business friendly builds the economy thus creating more revenue to help those truly in need.

In the end, it is the responsibility of every citizen to defend the Constitution from all enemies, foreign and domestic.
