Class Warfare

Class Warfare, two words I hadn't even thought much about up until about a year ago. After all, we live in America. America, where we are taught if you work hard and you are honest, you can become anything you want to be. America, where we are taught you don't have to settle for what you have. America, where you can get up every day, put in a days work and come home exhausted, but at the same time have a sense of worth and achievement that you earned a honest days work in order to provide for yourself and your family. That's what America is about. We control our own destiny.

But the ugly truth of this progressive movement that is occuring in our country is starting to shine through. The progressive movement in this country is dividing this country past the typical historical divides of political parties. No, the progressive movement in this country is dividing us, causing resentment and bitterness between us as Americans just because some of us happen to have more than someone else because of the hard work they have put into their career. The progressive movement in this country is creating a mentality amongst some of us that it's not fair that our neighbors have more than us. It's not fair that our neighbors get to go on vacations or own SUV's. But it's not just creating the mentality that it's not fair, but now, more than ever, the progressive movement is creating a mentality amongst some of us that we are entitled to what our neighbors have. It is creating a mentality that we shouldn't have to go out and work for what we obtain, that it should just be given to us. It is creating a mentality that wealth and possessions should be taken away from those who have worked hard for what they have, and be given to someone else who hasn't worked as hard, just so it's "fair". This is EXACTLY what is happening in London right now. Take a look at the turmoil. The liberal, progressive movement is finally taking its toll on that country, and it's just the beginning. There is such a divide between people over there that people who think they are entitled to things, are going onto what they consider "rich" people's property and STEALING things to make it FAIR?!?!?! Is this what you want for our country? And on top of that, the police in that country can't even protect themselves. No, the police in that country are NOT ALLOWED to have guns. And neither are the citizens, so they can't protect themselves either. So the only people who have guns in that country now.......are the CRIMINALS. Gun laws end up benefiting criminals, because regardless, they are going to get the guns. They're criminals. All gun laws do is disarmour the honest people who want to protect themselves if need be. But that is a whole other issue.

Be careful who you demonize. Be careful who you think don't pay enough taxes. Those business owners employ 70% of this country. They sign your paychecks. They keep this economy stimulated. What happens if you raise taxes on those people who get up every morning to try and keep their business afloat?? They have to cut wages. They have to cut jobs. They have to cut benefits. They have to raise the costs on their products so they can keep their doors open. What does all of that equal? Less money in the economy. Less money in YOUR pocket. Instead of that money in the economy stimulating it like we need it to be, it's being WASTED by our government. It is being sunk into entitlements, creating a class of people that EXPECT everything to be given to them. Don't misunderstand me, we need to take care of people who NEED it. We do need food stamps. We do need welfare. But it SHOULD NOT be treated like a way of life. It should be treated like a TEMPORARY aid until people can get on their feet. We need to reform these programs and stop enabling people to be lazy and creating a mentality that they need the government to take care of them.

We don't need new taxes in this country! We need new TAXPAYERS!!!! Let's get back to conservative fiscal policies that are going to encourage job creation and entrepeneurship! That is the answer to get our country on the right track again! But in order to do that, this administration MUST GO!!
