There has been a horrific act that has played out the past few days. The families and survivors of the Aurora Colo. shooting will always carry the sadness in their hearts. Please give a moment to say a prayer for them.
I considered taking a pass on this with all that's happened but its important to keep the light shining on all wrongs. I just couldn’t let this go without speaking out...
13 July, 2012 in Roanoke Virginia President, Obama finally hit the nail on the head.
(at least in his own mind).
In defense of his plan to raise the tax rate on small businesses he blurted out his true feelings “If you’ve got a business. You didn’t build that! Somebody else made that happen!” That somebody else being the government, by proxy Himself. Has he become the self appointed giver and taker of success? The last time I heard something so delusional, Al Gore was explaining how he single handed masterminded the Internet.
I’ve seen a lot of back and forth on this statement. Liberals have been saying the statement was taken out of context… So I pulled the transcript up on the White House web site, I’ve read it over and over and over again. The statement stands and yes I believe he meant exactly what he said. A few names came to mind as I read the transcript of the speech, Karl, Vladimir, Mao, Fidel, Che… Short the calls for death and destruction (for the time being).
.
Prior to that gem the anointed one (annoying one) had said “If you were successful, someone along the line gave you some help!” This is a bit over simplified but… Under the Presidents delusion you wake up one day deciding to start a business and by the end of the day you’re making a $250,000 deposit in the bank all on the back of the unappreciated employee you enslaved that day. Again he exposed his lack of understanding of what is involved in starting, building and maintaining a business. The first years of scraping and scrounging. The long days and nights put in propping up a fledgling business. The fine line that a small business walks on being able to operate one more month, week or even one more day. The brave people who take this challenge do it in the hope that one day their efforts will be rewarded. They press on daily hoping to turn the corner and become a success. Yet as they turn the corner what will they actually find? Will it be the reward they deserve or an oppressive government waiting to slap them back down, of course all in the name of fairness.
As normal Mr. Obama’s rhetoric is pure fantasy. Going back to prehistoric man, he didn’t think to himself “I need to build a road then a school, hire some police and firemen. Now I can trade with the tribe on the other side of the valley.” NO! He bound the skins he hunted, gathered the tools he made and beat a path through the brush walking to the next tribe in hopes of trading for something he needs or wants. From that first small business man every thing else developed. Take the roads away, shutdown the schools, stop providing services and you will still have folks building things of value and trading them for what they want or need and you will have other folks wanting to do business with then. Take away small business and see how long until the roads collapse, how long until police and fire services stop being paid, see how long until the schools close their doors. Sure you can have a central government directing its people; You will make this, You will fix that, You will do this or You will buy that. Do you know what that government calls the people it’s directing?
SLAVES!
Not Me, Not Now, NOT EVER!
Mr. Obama must have never worked for anything of value in his personal or public life. Not only depending on contributions to fund political aspirations, he demands them (A Chicago machine thing). He begged an acquaintance for funds to pull his family out of personal debt (ever hear of getting a second job and climbing out of the hole you dug yourself? I’ve done it… more than once). He can’t point to his past and say I sacrificed this to accomplish that. He can’t point to his past and say I toiled and sweated to achieve something. He can not point to his past or his accomplishments to motivate or inspire others. Instead he relies on stoking the emotional flames of envy and jealousy to further his warped sense of “fairness”. To praise the innovation, sacrifice and following success of others and hold them up as examples is just not in his nature.
Mr. Obama’s view of fairness is not to lift others to a higher level but to bring the successful down to a lower level regardless of the blood, sweat and sacrifices they had made to achieve their success. He has become perfectly content to paint all successful people with the same brush that is his life. It would appear success in his life has come from blurred lines of truth, integrity and diligence… He’s sure everyone else’s success did too…
One final observation: Is there a sliding scale? Some months back it started with the 99% against the top1%, now the new battle cry has become the 98% against the top 2% then I read another Obama transcript that said 97% would be unaffected by the tax hike. All followed with the same “we spend a trillion dollars on tax cuts for them” followed by the retreaded “we’ll have to make student loans higher or cut back on services for the brave veterans when they come home”. At least he didn’t say granny may have to be thrown off something… Is it true? Is the government writing a trillion dollars in checks, and then mailing them out to the top 1, 2 or 3%? Would a more factual statement be; We could be confiscating an additional trillion dollars from the top whatever percent! Here’s a novel idea, quit funding campaign contributors companies so they can drain the cash and declare bankruptcy. Mr. Obama’s’ tax plan would generate approximately $85 billion in additional revenue each year but the government spends $85 billion every 8 to 9 days. What about the other 357 days? How long till the cry becomes tax the top 4%, tax the top 10% or even tax the top 30%... Revenue isn’t the problem, spending is the problem!
Just remember
It’s all fun & games till it’s the 49% against the top 51%
