A nine Trillion dollar deficit over the next ten
years?! The politicians are
spending as if throwing money into the wind is the same as productive
activity. People are mad,
they are fuming, and there is talk of big Republican gains in upcoming
elections.
The cause and solution to our problems
is as close as the nearest mirror.
The kind of politicians we have are not principled, they are
mainly pragmatic opportunists going where the votes are, and the votes
are going to those who can deliver the bucks.
It’s easy not to take the blame, “I
only want my Medicare, I didn’t ask for this pork-fest”.
“I only want good public schools”, “I only want good public
transit”; “I only want a little help for the poor”;
“Governments spending on my projects are good; it’s those other
one’s that are bad”.
Face up to it America we have arrived
where we are by baby steps over the last 100 years ever since the New
Deal - and its time to pay the piper.
A responsible person, a person who works for a living, knows that
he can’t spend more then he earns, not if he wants to maintain a roof
over his head and food in the refrigerator.
But when we’re all taxed to throw money into a pool and it’s the
person who can cry or scream or demand the loudest that gets the loot
then what kind of responsibility is possible?
“I pay my taxes” you say, “doesn’t that
give me a right to jump into the pork-fest”.
It’s time to return to being Americans;
time to practice a little independence in our own lives.
Every time you say, “Its OK if the government spends on X because
people really need it”, you give ammunition to the next person who says
“It’s OK to spend on Y”. And
he is right. Who is to
decide what needs are the right ones to spend on, and how much is the
right amount to spend?
Health-care, education, Medicare; sure these are all necessities, but
who is the best person to decide these things?
It’s you yourself, you earn
money in order to control your life and decide your priorities.
You have been giving your freedom away with every dollar you hand
over the Washington.
People are always going to need food,
shelter, health-care. But
that is what life is all about, earning your keep and paying for your
needs and wants, otherwise why are you alive?
Is life to be lived as a beggar or thief trying to get more and
more of other peoples money or is it to be lived on your own two feet
working and providing for yourself?
The nine trillion dollar deficit is
your fault and it will only go away when you start voting people into
government who really do believe that people have a right to their own
lives and that everyone is responsible for his own life.
No one understands your needs better
then you, so why do you insist on letting other people determine it?
Its time to send a new breed of politician to Washington, one who
truly believes in limited government.
Whether he is Democrat or Republican; if you really - I mean
really - want to solve this financial crises then that should be the
first requirement for office.
It time to stop saying, let someone else figure out my life for
me and start figuring it out for yourself, you have much more of an
incentive to get it right then some bureaucrat in Washington – after all
isn’t it your life?
Instead of asking “How is Barack Obama
going to educate my children” Why not ask “How am I going to get the
best education possible for my children?”.
Instead of asking “How is the government going to take care of me
in my old age?” Let’s start saying: “I need to start seriously planning
for my old age.”
We have been playing a con game with
each other and ourselves and its time we faced up to it.
This is what comes of not accepting responsibility for our lives.
Its time to get the government completely out of the economy and
start living our lives. This
is not an issue of government corruption; it’s an issue of our
corruption in thinking that there is a short circuit around taking
responsibility for our lives.
Well the system has shorted out as it had to and its time to
realize that.
Every morsel of food, every stethoscope
used by a doctor, every brick in a school building had to be produced by
someone through thought and work.
They did not magically appear through an incantation uttered by
Barack Obama in Washington.
Washington
is not the solution to our problems; it is the source of our problems.
The only way people can go-exist together in society peacefully
and prosperously is through voluntary cooperation.
The short circuit of the government is a short circuit around
voluntary cooperation. Its
time to say forcefully to Barack Obama: “I don’t need you to live my
life for me.”
Until the day comes when we realize
that if we want to achieve our own happiness we must take complete
responsibility for our lives we will lurch from crises to crises and we
will not achieve happiness or anything worthwhile.
