A Patriot’s view of the history and direction of our Country
The Candidate and Experience
Ignore the rhetoric and embrace freedom
It is the economy – it will always be the economy because we
are a free market capitalist Constitutional republic. When it is no
longer the economy, and only social issues – we will be the United
Socialist States of America; if not already. By some standards this is
much closer than imagined. Our government is the number one
cause of poverty in this country. If you use the criteria a socialist
country is that which (note ‘population’ does not equal ‘citizen’):
1. Provides unfundable privileges as rights (i.e. healthcare);
2. Controls the largest of the former free market economies
(i.e. healthcare);
3. Fifty-one percent or more of the population receives a form
of taxpayer funded public assistance;
4. Fifty-one percent or more of the population does not pay
income taxes.
The government seizure of the healthcare system takes care of
items one and two. Considering that in only four years, the
th
number receiving public assistance has doubled into the 40
percentile, that will surely be easy take care of item three in a year
or two. Because 100% of the population will be required to be
enrolled, item four is taken care of.
The above is not the country I plan to leave for our
grandchildren. The only solution is to only vote for a candidate that
understands the economy, and the difference between earned
benefits and unearned taxpayer funded government handouts
indoctrinated by the Parasitic Cult. Not so fast!
