Hurricane Sandy hit the town of Staten Island. We’ve all heard stories of people being so affected that they are panicking. We hear of the halls of “Housing projects” being used as toilets. We are told there is still no electricity for almost 2,000,000 after a week’s time. We hear of no water, no food, no flashlights, and needs for clothing, and blankets.
What is wrong with this picture? We have become a majority of government dependents.
Many have learned to rely on the government for their transportation needs. So, if the buses and subways are not running, people are prisoners at their location. Personal responsibility has been forgotten. When people are constantly told to store food and water, most of America ignores the warnings. We have stopped depending on family and friends in our time of need, as we historically have done. We now look to “Father Government”.
If we move away from the victims of Hurricane Sandy, we can see other government dependents everywhere. In California, we have encouraged a hoard of immigrants to enter our borders. These uneducated workers are quickly educated in “the ropes” of the money stream. They have babies; they have no insurance; they unfairly compete for jobs; money is spent in large amounts to pay for their housing, their transportation needs, and their hospital needs. This helps to create another victim – the California taxpayer.
In the Tuesday’s election, we saw the power of a new voting bloc, the ‘moocher class.’ The people getting the free goods have now joined with those giving the free goods.
The number of government jobs keep increasing and the number of people living off the government is also increasing.
Those paying the taxes to cover these two groups are decreasing. We now have no representation for the taxpayer. Even the President keeps touting, “The rich need to pay their fair share.” And yet, half of our country pays no tax.
We have set the stage for some dire times ahead. There is an old saying, “When the going gets tough, the tough get going.” But there is another saying, “You can run, but you can’t hide.”
In an article recently about Americans in Nicaragua, there was an offering about a class tax regulation that Obama has put in place. The writing warned that if appropriate taxes were not collected by our government certain incomes, jail time would be the outcome.
Our government is rewarding those that don’t produce, and punishing those that do.
