In Who Does Your Future Lie

I think it is time to ask ourselves some very important questions. There was a time when nearly  your entire future was determined predominantly by your own accomplishments. The choices you make throughout life set the tone for what your future could achieve. If you set goals and worked to achieve them with only a reasonable amount of dedication, you were likely to succeed in many ways.  If you got back up after being knocked down, if you did the right things even when nobody was looking, if you cared for others, loved your dog and stayed true to yourself, then success was yours to be had.

Now it seems that government is taking an ever increasing role in our daily lives and I for one am not comfortable with those in leadership who think they can guide my life better than I.  Do we really want people who cannot balance a budget, spend nearly 50 percent more than they bring in, lie, cheat and steal from hard working Americans to be in charge of our future? Never in the history of our great nation has government been more intrusive into our daily lives. This phenomenon appears to be growing at an exponential rate toward what seems to have moved beyond socialism and heading for a Marxist style communist government takeover.

For nearly two hundred years, the engine that drove the American economy and provided the single greatest economic superpower ever to be known, was the American people and the companies in which we all worked. Not government. Government was nothing more than a tolerable annoyance that did provide one very important service, national defense. Our military and the many who served are the reason we live in a free society.

Other than national defense, government has done little to improve the lives of the majority of the people and continues to stand in the way of economic progress. The reason seems simple. Government now has become an entity within which a life of it’s own has emerged.  It sees itself as the ultimate authority that must guide every segment of the population and economy. That is not the recipe that created the greatest society ever to exist.  The quality of life in this nation and around the world has improved at a far greater pace since the existence of the United States than at any time in history.  This is a result of American ingenuity where the American dream could be achieved if you held yourself to some very basic principles.  Get an education, work hard, be honest and take care of your family.

Government creates nothing. It has nothing except that which it took from the people and companies that employ us.  It wastes our resources and demands more. It has created class warfare to keep the focus off of them. They are the culprits, they villainize corporations because they can’t vote. Whereas corporations are nothing more than groups of people that create, employ and drive the American economy.

It is time we ask the question. Which system is likely to create the best opportunities for our future. One where government continues to adopt Marxist principles that have failed every time it was employed over the last 100 years.  Or, the peoples government where government worked for the people as it was designed for more than 200 years.

In who would you rather your future be guided? Group A or Group B below: Group A is a list of entrepreneurs who collectively employed millions of Americans and helped to make this nation great. Group B is a list of life-time politicians and media types who have created nothing but debt, deficits and lined their own pockets at the expense of the people. In no particular order, review the names and decide where yours and your children’s best future lies.

Group A                                                                                                               Group B

 

Bill Gates                                                                                            Barack Obama

JP Morgan                                                                                          Nancy Pelosi     

Andrew Carnegie                                                                              Harry Reid

Henry Ford                                                                                         Al Gore

Steve Jobs                                                                                          Rahm Emanuel

Thomas Edison                                                                                  Hillary Clinton

John D. Rockefeller                                                                           Barney Frank

Charles Merrill                                                                                   John Kerry

Aaron Montgomery Ward                                                               Eric Holder

Levi Strauss                                                                                        Dick Durbin

William Harley                                                                                   Joe Biden

Arthur Davidson                                                                                Steny Hoyer

Sam Walton                                                                                        Paul Krugman

Jeff Bezos                                                                                            Chuck Shumer

JW Marriott                                                                                        Henry Waxman

Conrad Hilton                                                                                     Valarie Garrett

Adolphus Busch                                                                                 George Soros

Ray Croc                                                                                              Peter Lewis

Richard Sears                                                                                     Dennis Kucinich

WK Kellogg                                                                                         Howard Dean

Milton Hershey                                                                                  Charles Rangel 

Walt Disney                                                                                        Maureen Dowd

 

If you think your future will be better served by the type of people in group A, then you better start voting for folks that understand free markets, free society and limited government as supported by the constitution.  If you chose group B, then I suggest you re-consider after researching the facts.  Vote new! ALL NEW!~
