Entitlements

Enough of the nanny state crap and these entitlement programs that the democrats have pushed into our society. They have effectively removed the father from the home and replaced him with a welfare check. Jimmy Carters entitlement programs have destroyed major cities such as Detroit with his policies. Once the family is gone so are all the moralities that went along with it.

Does anyone think we are better off now than we were back in the 50’s and 60’s when you could trust your neighbor and leave your doors unlocked and children were respectful of their elders calling them Sir and Ma’am?

The democrats have taken the paddle out of the parents and teachers hands and made the father a passing figure by entitling single mother’s to a paycheck. Some of these women have made a career out of this lifestyle; if they want a raise, they have another baby. They toss “daddy” to the curb because they no longer need his support but the ones that suffer initially are the children. In the long run we as a society also suffer the consequences of these policies.

Amnesty for illegal aliens will only perpetuate this situation. The democrats are telling us that “people cannot be “illegal’s” that by using such a term we are degrading them. Calling people that illegally enter this country is exactly what they are illegal’s. So by the democrats thought process; are aborted babies then not human?

Obama and his clan of misguided, misinformed and inexperienced followers are spending time, energy and our tax dollars on fighting laws like the one Arizona passed… instead of seeing what happens when this law is enacted, they are fighting it tooth and nail to stop it before it takes effect. They are not interested in the results that will most likely result from the outcome as they are sure it will show that a drop in illegal’s in Arizona will lift the state wide economy and drastically slow the drug and human trafficking.

This does not bode well for a group that is in dire need of votes come 2012 and who do you think these illegal’s will cast a vote for? The people that offer them a study program to citizenship through hard work like every other immigrant did over the last 150 years or the guy that gives them everything for free. The democrats know they will reap the votes from this group of immigrants but they most likely won’t be eligible to vote by 2012 and that is unacceptable by the liberal democrats.

Obama’s arrogance will be his undoing by pressing this lawsuit against Arizona and his blatant attempt to destroy the oil industry. He and his cronies are paddling upstream against the current by fighting the will of the American people. They are pushing and pushing for more government control of the free market system that has served us well for over 200 years.

They keep digging in deeper by moving in these directions rather than finding solutions to things the American people are seeking such as bolstering the economy and taking steps to create jobs.

This again goes against all that they hold sacred because in order to create jobs, government has to get out of the way and let the free market work. This current administration has no clue of how to handle anything. Not one of them has ever had a job that wasn’t taxpayer subsidized. None of them has run a successful corporation or business, none of them has had any military experience and none of them have the experience to handle a crisis such as the Gulf Oil Spill or to protect our borders.
The problem is not with Obama; the problem is with the people that were suckered in to voting for this charlatan. The dummying down of the American public’s view of politics aided by a press that has also drank the Kool-Aid by not reporting the truth is leading the people astray.

If your one of those that wait until Election Day to decide who you are going to vote for or vote for them because you saw the name on a sign on the way to the polls or because it’s easy to pronounce, you my friend, are the problem.

Entitlements & Taxes

The age of entitlements is destroying our nation. The families of those that were killed on 9/11 are getting millions (an average of $1.185 million) through the federal government while the families of our fallen soldiers get squat. Now the people from the Oklahoma City bombings have organized and are asking for the same deal as was reported by Rush Limbaugh.

We can see where this is leading. This is the end result of 50 years of entitlements; everybody thinks the government owes then something, problem is, the government has no money or no way of generating it other than taking it from all of us.

So in effect, we will have to pay for what the radical Islamic terrorists did to these people while Obama bows to leaders of these countries, keeps apologizing for the U.S. and telling them how arrogant we are.

The federal government is good at one thing and that is finding creative ways to take more of our money even if it is not supported by our constitution. They use slippery techniques to hide these increases in the back of bills passed that have nothing to do with what the bill was intended such as adding health care expenses into the stimulus bill or tacking on a few cents on our phone, gas and electric bills.

Congress sees fit to make sure they get a raise while telling seniors they will not get a 3% raise they were supposed to get. Our state legislature did the same thing; they get an automatic raise unless two-thirds of the senate votes it down, but no such luxury is afforded to us when they want to raise our taxes.

The military was about to get a well needed pay increase but the Pentagon is yelling “Whoa, hold on here, that’s a lot of money” The Pentagon is facing a crunch in its budget and now doesn’t want to pay the people that do the work the money they deserve.

Military soldiers deserve to be paid at least the same amount police officers do, but the Pentagon doesn’t like using the proverbial “war chest” to pay them. Everybody wants to pass the buck and no one wants to be responsible for paying their fair share. The liberals are fond of giving away every bodies else’s money as long as it’s not theirs.

Everybody needs to pay their fair share in taxes. Why in the world are we taxed for “income”?

This by its name begs the question; why work if you’re going to punish me for earning?

A consumption tax would be a great idea if we could get it passed the letches in Washington that are control freaks and dubious greed mongers. With a consumption tax (sales tax) we would eliminate a whole slew of taxes that compiled on top of each other.

When you get your paycheck, you are paid with money that has already been taxed. When you buy gas for your car, you pay another tax using money that has already been taxed. If you make a mortgage payment, you pay more taxes with money that has already been taxed.

We need to alleviate these taxes and reduce the size and scope of government. They have grown too large and have gained too much control. We need to start by replacing everyone in congress that supports big government. In our current situation, that would be 99% of democrats. Once we replace these power and money seekers, we can work on the republicans that do not adhere to our constitution until we have achieved our goal of a conservative lead congress.
