Congress does not understand why many people are becoming
disgusted with the direction our country is taking, but maybe
I can shed some light and help people wake-up and stand-up to
say, “Enough.” In Michigan and the Midwest, many of us
believe in rugged individualism. We don’t expect the government
to solve all of our problems. However, we do expect the
government to stay out of our way. All it needs to do is protect
us from foreign and domestic terrorists; and assist us in natural
or man-made catastrophies.
In the last depression back in the 1930′s, we pulled up our bootstraps
and worked hard to grow and prosper. The Auto Industry, Steel Industry,
Oil Industry, and other manufacturing companies valued sweat equity,
and loyalty, and eventually paid a decent wage. In the 1940′s, men and
women fought for our freedom, and the opportunity to pursue happiness.
Private Enterprise created opportunity and through education, hardwork,
and may be with a little luck or good timing we achieved and enjoyed a good
life for about 50 years. We were happy. Discrimination lessened through
the Civil Rights movement in the 1960′s.
Now the “good life” for middle America is being stripped away from us little
by little. The Government allowed our manufacturing companies to move
South through NAFTA so they could become competitive in a “global” economy.
Then the government started pushing multi-culturalism to rid of racism and to
show we may be different, but we are all the same. Yes, most people do want
opportunity, but not “free” handouts.
Actually, people develop pride when they succeed through their own competing
efforts. However, the government in the 90s especially through the educational
system suggested competition is unhealthy. The premise being that everyone is
equal and has the ability to learn the same things and therefore should be given
the same things whether they earned it or not. Classic example, everyone should
own a home regardless of effort and whether they can afford it or not.
Now, in steps the government to solve the housing foreclosure crisis and mess
that they helped create, and to provide government jobs through trillion of dollars
of stimulus money that we will eventually be paying back. In the meantime, people
are out of work. Government employees keep their jobs and are being paid salaries
at a much higher rate than in the private sector. Furthermore, the borders are left
open to allow any illegal to come in and take jobs and use our precious financial
resources.
All we can do is just sit around to watch families, states, and cities go bankrupt
along with countries like Greece. At least, everyone except the elitists will be
broke and poor. AIG, and the “Banks” remain solvent with bailouts from the Feds,
but the Feds forced General Motors into bankruptcy.
Now, I hear that the government is about to strip away the pensions from the
workers from old GM. States are also readying to strip away pensions from teachers
and public employees. Actually, all pensions are at risk since many private companies
are going bankrupt. Social Security (the Ponzi scheme it is) will or is also bankrupt.
So even though, we played by the government rules, I guess we will all be paupers
and serfs — no savings, pensions or social security as promised. No health insurance
either, only $1,000 dollars in fines for not buying health insurance, higher taxes for
safety purposes (Police and Fire), and Fees for licenses, permits, and services.
Rumor has it that Fed Ex and UPS are endangered of being overtaken by the
government. The US Postal Service is losing money and cannot compete against
the “Brown uniforms.” Want to transfer funds between bank accounts? NPC who
overtook National City now charges $10.00 to do just that unless you do it yourself
online. Another rumor involves putting a meter on your well, so cities can charge
you for water usage? Fruit, dairy and vegetable farmers ought to be outraged
at this thought.
Americans are taking “note.” Fed-up with the lawlessness, Arizona took charge to
do what the Federal Government refuses to do. At least, they recognize rules should
be followed and laws be enforced. This is fairness and opportunity for all who play
by the rules. I have to show my identification whereever I do business.
It basically, comes down to the Constitution. Quit ignoring the constitution and our
inalienable rights. Our Constitution is what made this Country “GREAT!” No
apology is necessary — just ask Iraqis who once lived under a brutal dictator.
Thank you President Bush for your steadfastness and knowing what is “right.”
We have the manpower, natural resources, and knowledge to once again become
a great society. Our greatest power will be at the ballot box when we send a
clear message that our country needs to move to the right rather than continue
moving to the far left. Given fairness, freedom, and opportunity, we can succeed
once more. Otherwise, we will wake-up one day to China owning and controlling
us. They did buy our debts and “I Owe You’s.” When you think about it, China
well may be the true “Master” and Mortgagor. Their growing population and
wealth can certainly overtake us within 20 years or less if we don’t wake up soon.
