Another American Revolution
Viva la revolution America ~ ink up your voting fingers and loose the power of your vote!
Without apology or explanation, politically I am firmly ensconced as a constitutional conservative. I am neither a republican, democrat, progressive, liberal, conservative, nor rabid in my belief system, although I must confess to a strong affinity with the Tea Party and its ideals. That does not imply that I am blind to the needs of others, nor would I think for a single moment that those who voted for Obama acted foolishly. However, it does sadden me that he’s left many of you somewhat disillusioned, having duped you with his pontificating political posturing and his incredible teleprompted speaking ability.
“Our rights are God given, our privileges are granted for a fee.” The economy functions best in a free market arena, not in a nanny governed collective. Government should only determine whether or not our constitutional and governing laws are being obeyed by everyone, including business entities. They should not be, nor were ever intended to run our public or privately owned businesses; their job is to observe and regulate the way laws are interpreted and enforced so that it is equitable. But that isn’t so anymore, ask Obama; for example, he believes that the constitution is a living document and should be interpreted in a flexible manner to meet ever changing needs as determined by a select group of politicians. He’s wrong.
Did you know that the stricter laws enacted by like thinking politicians using punitive judgments against the giants of industry have darn near sounded the death knell of small to medium businesses because those punitive actions were applied across the board to every business; high taxes, unreasonably high workman compensation costs and liability insurance rates along with bond costs have crippled many small to medium sized businesses.
There aren’t any tort limits or compensation for frivolous lawsuits or fraudulent workman comp claims against small businesses. It is nearly a national pass time to sue any and everybody that the public thinks is affluent by any standards. Small businesses often eat false claims simply because they can’t afford the legal costs to fight back.
Has Obama ever run a successful small or medium business plagued with those kinds of problems? No. But he has been part of the political system funded by tax payers, where he makes costly back room deals and plays poker with those same taxpayer funds; should their ideas flop, he walked away without sharing in the fruits of that failure.
Has Obama ever attended college without the benefit of grants or scholarships while supporting a family and running a small business? Has he ever had to worry about keeping a business alive so that he can provide a service, earn a profit to keep employees working or his business and personal bills paid? Has he ever had to give up possessions to keep his business dream afloat, has he ever put everything on the line for his family, business and employees only to lose? I doubt it, in one form or another he’s always taken sustenance from a public teat or trough.
Get the governmental nose out of private and public business, and stick to the jobs they were elected to perform.
Obama isn’t our messiah, neither are politicians; they are meant to be servants of , “We the People.”
My faith is not in government and politicians; my faith lay with average Americans that form the backbone of this country. It is my belief that they will speak out with their votes. No matter the outcome, where I distrust politics, politicians and lawyers with their hands in everyone else’s financial pockets; the average American will have their say to the peril of those that treat them with disdain. My fellow citizens, “. . . ink up your voting fingers and loose the power of your vote!”
Viva la voter revolution!
