When a government robs its people...

When a government robs its people...

Our founding fathers foresaw just how dangerous it was to give unlimited power to government. So, they established a constitution that balanced powers and gave ultimate power to the citizens. It has all gone horribly wrong. Our leaders are sounding more and more like Mao, like Lenin, like Castro. The arrogance of Barney Frank, Chuck Schumer and Nancy Pelosi is revealed when they tell us, "We know much better how to spend your money than you do. If fact, we insist you give us your money so that we may fritter it away on the deadbeats, spongers and loafers...those needing a free ride."

"We want to buy homes for those who are incapable. Owning a home is a right every American should have."

"We want to outsource some of your jobs because we love all the people of the world. Because redistribution of the wealth must be global. Its not fair for you to experience a higher standard of living than those in India."

"We want to bail out banks who have fallen victim to bad decisions made by their CEO's."

"We want to bail out the auto companies who have been crushed by outsourcing and union greed."

"We want to provide national healthcare for all people. We know it hasn't worked well in Britain or Canada but we are smarter than those people. We know socialism didn't work for the Soviet Union, it didn't work for China...but we are smarter and wiser."

"Trust us...give us your credit card, you'll be so glad you did."

There is no longer any accountability for bad behavior nor are there any consequences for poor decisions. It is the result of eliminating absolute truth and replacing it with a meaningless relativism.How many dreams will evaporate? How many small businesses will never be born? How many medical cures will never be discovered? How many of our children will never be college educated? How many family vacations will have to be cancelled? The real tragedy is that we sit by passive and apathetic while the government reaches into our wallets. Edmund Burke said it so well, "The only thing necessary for evil to prevail is for good people to stand by and do nothing."
