Today, my wife told me that once again her hours where she works were going to be cut. I knew right a way that meant there would be less money then for every aspect of our lives. I won't kid you having to make tough economic choices is always hard and often as a result, much stress is created as I try to figure out how my family and I are going to live on less and still meet our monthly bills. I realize, millions of families across this nation are having to make those same tough choices. Many families, have at least one person out of work with no indication that things are going to get any better any time soon.
Why have hard times come to America? I have thought a lot about this question. I mean, think about, America, is considered by most, to be the greatest nation on earth! America, can put a man on the moon, and there is no doubt we have the greatest military in the world yet, in spite of this, America, has to go begging to China, to finance our nation's budget because the greatest county on earth, can't meet it's financial obligations without borrowing from other countries. How does this happen? The reason is simple, but the solution, is hard. America, got herself into to this mess because many Americans, bought into the the idea that every one who lives here should all have the same prosperity, even if they didn't work for it. Here is what I mean. Today, I heard President Obama, say once again, that America, is faced with a choice he says, America, can choose to either ignore the middle class, and just let our economy work for the richest among us, or America, can continue on the path that leads to an economy, that works for everybody, and each economic class can all have the same level of wealth, and prosperity. That sounds an awful lot like Socialism to me. Oh wait... that is Socialism, and Socialism, is Communism's, little brother. This economic philosophy, will not work and here is why. What happens, when in the name of the richest among us paying their fare share, there are no more rich among us to pay there fair share, what then? President Obama, doesn't seem to realize, that the wealthy, among us invest, and help to start new small businesses however, if the rich, begin to feel like they are going to be taxed, to the point, where they can no longer invest in new businesses, well, soon everybody will be equal all right, equally broke! That's right, then all economic classes will be the same, and each of us, will be equally poor, at that point, each person will have only what the government, says you can have. That day, is fast approaching in America, the next election, is the most important election in our nations history. We will either choose to continue to be an economically free and independent nation, like we have been since July 4, 1776 or, we will choose to become a dependant nation, and look the the government, to meet our every need. I will tell you now, if that is the choice we as Americans make, then we will become, a socialist nation, and Communism, won't be far behind, and freedom, will be a thing of the past. As always, my friends, these thoughts remain, just some words, to think on.
