First, think about the bill-of-goods we have been sold by the Left in this country: government-administered healthcare, government-run public transportation, government-managed energy policy, government-allocated entitlements, government-provided jobs, government-owned and government-regulated industries (shall I go on?)
Second, look who the President surrounds himself with. His influences are exclusively unions, Communists, Socialists, liberal progressives and Rahm Emanuel (whatever he is). Don't discount this. Do the research for yourself and dispute me.
Do you know what happens when 30% of your workforce works for the federal government and the 'private' sector is controlled by unions while 50% of your population pays no federal income taxes?
Greece, the beacon of capitalism and entrepreneurism where:
- Retirement with full pension is at age 61.
- You receive EVERYTHING for "Free" including healthcare (sound familiar?)
- People riot in the streets when cutting their social services is discussed.
Heaven forbid they get off their ass and work! Dependence on government breeds complacency and a sense of entitlement, which is exactly the seeds that Obama is sowing RIGHT NOW!
Of course, anyone with half-a-lick of commonsense or with one economics class under their belt understands someone must pay for all the FREE shit handed out by government. In Greece, who is paying????? Not the Greek. Why? Because . . . . they are too big to fail. Heard that one before????
Where will the $145B bailout come from? The EU and the IMF! Of course the US' share of the IMF is 17.1%. Thus we are shelling out almost $25B to bail out Greece. Then we will be on the hook for Portugal, Spain, Italy and Ireland. Of course we already sent $30B of taxpayer dollars that were part of the $120B used to bail out AIG to European banks. In that light, what is another mere $25B? When the last one standing turns to ask the next one for help and no one is there, that is the end of the game and everything has to reset.
It's the U.S. who will be looking over her shoulder and seeing no one to bail her out. Meanwhile, how many future generations have we bankrupted and sentenced to a life of a lower standard of living than the current and past generations. Is that the American Way?
Progressives in this country have systematically (progressively) taken us apart piece by piece. The steps included: removing God from the public discussion, denigrating the Founding Fathers and slowly increasing the level of entitlements from cradle to grave (see Pay for Your Own Damn Healthcare).
If the U.S. does not change its Greece-like ways and continues to slog toward more and more government control of business and the financial markets, we will become Greece. We do know that in the next 5 to 10 years our debt to GDP ratio will be the same as Greece when it tumbled into this crisis. Ironically it was the 'fiscally responsible' Democrats crying during the Bush administration's absurd spending binge about deficits. Now that they are in power they have more than tripled our debt in less than two years and the 'fiscally responsible' Republicans are crying.
What about all of us truly fiscally responsible Americans having to foot the bill? WE are the ones crying. WE are the ones fitting the bill.
We are mad as hell and we are not going to take it anymore. Voila! - the Tea Party movement is born. What does the mainstream media, the Democrats, progressive Republicans and the Obama Administration do? They denigrate it. Call them violent. Call them racists and bigots. In the meantime, it is union thugs conducting themselves with violence.
Is anyone else bothered by the level of apathy and blatant hypocrisy displayed by the media and the Left?
Wake up America!
