To quote gakande, "Obama is talking about is allowing more persons to become wealthy. The Boston Tea Party was about taxes; taxing without representation. The problem in America now is that certain persons have been excluded from THE AMERICAN DREAM and thus it has become a NIGHTMARE. Obama is attempting INCLUSION and the problem is the privileged don't want it. Can you handle the TRUTH?"
This by far is the stupidest comment I have ever seen!!!!
The people who have escaped the lower socioeconomic realms in our society are those who did not rely on government to do it!
This is the key, this is the important thing. They did not rely on an FDR; they didn't rely on a Barack Obama; they didn't rely on an LBJ; they didn't rely on affirmative action; they didn't rely on all these redundant programs built atop one another in order to escape whatever it was about their lives they didn't like. They used themselves. They ended up being their best resource, you are your best resource for fulfilling whatever need or desire or ambition you have. Your best resource is not somebody else. I don't care if it's your parents, I don't care if it's your family, I don't care if it's your president. You end up having to do it. If you don't do it for yourself, nobody else is going to do it for you. Nobody is going to come along and decide that a fair wage for you is $20,000/yr, $35,000, $75,000, or $150,000 a year (pick an amount) and that's what you are automatically going to get paid. That will never, ever happen. I don't care if Obama gets dictatorial control of this country, that is not going to happen, it cannot happen. That's not what he wants anyway. He wants all of us in as much need and dependence as he can get us. He doesn't want prosperity for people. He doesn't want wealth for people. If he did, there would be no limit on who gets a tax cut.
Your American dream ends at whatever the figure is today, it's waffling now between $250,000 down to $150,000 in terms of annual income over which you get a tax increase and under which you get a tax cut. The evidence, is scattered across the world, but it is focused right here in the United States of America. Every effort to provide salvation for economically aggrieved, socially aggrieved groups by the Democrats has been applied. We have spent trillions, we have cared, we have used our compassion, and yet they still exist and they're still angry, and they're still hopeless, and they're still enraged. And guess what? They're still waiting. They're still waiting for a magic man to come along and finally do it right. There is no right way to do what FDR tried, what the Democrats are trying now, what Obama wants to try. There's no right way to do it. The evidence is worldwide that it fails. All around us we see people who have exceeded their own expectations. We see people who have exceeded the expectations of their families. We see people constantly who surprise everybody with their ambition, their work ethic, and their success. Those are the people, by the way, under an Obama presidency who will become the target. They become the object of punishment.
Those who do not go the proscriptions of a government assistance program of any kind get out of whatever circumstance they're in that they don't like, they use themselves as a resource, they become successful and prosperous, they open businesses, they hire other people, they try to grow, they do everything they can, they play by the rules as best they can. They, the ones who actually use the individual freedom this country provides that FDR and Obama are lying about, they who actually use the freedom are those who prosper. They are the ones who overcome. Those who sit around and wait for a resource other than themselves to lift them up are forever going to be waiting. If there's a recession, you don't necessarily have to participate. If there is high unemployment, you don't necessarily have to participate. The United States of America is one country where you can create your own job, if you choose. You don't have to. You can stay on unemployment or whatever and wait for something to come along that you like. Or you may say, "I don't want to leave town, I don't want to leave where I am," fine and dandy. Just understand the limits that all of us place on ourselves are self-imposed, folks.
We've all got shackles around us some way or another, we all have government regulations in front of us, or we all have other things we have to overcome. It's not a free ride and it's not an easy road but the simple fact of the matter is that there are people who escape their circumstances each and every day, and it's happened throughout the history of this country, and it's interesting, those are the people that the Democrat Party wants to target for your hatred. They want you to envy them; they want you to distrust them; they want you to resent them, and they want you to think they need to be punished, while everybody else that gets praised, everybody but the Democrats and the liberals and Obama sit down and say, "These are the people that make the country work," they're the ones that are waiting around for Obama to create magic, to wave a magic wand, to help them out of whatever mire they consider themselves to be in. Yet all around them they see people escaping, and they do resent it.
You remain the single best resource you have, and you full well know, after listening to Obama, that the more you succeed, the greater target you will become. Now, is this the kind of country we want? Is this the kind of president we want to have? Is this the kind of party we want dominating one-party rule, that targets successful people and seeks to punish them? I don't think so.
