During lunch today, I was complaining that I wanted to write a blog, but I didn’t want to write on the inevitable socialized medicine debacle that our socialist President and liberal congress is going to force down our throats. The 5-6 paragraphs here are incapable of dealing with such a complex issue.
My good friend Glenn told us about his recent trip to Europe. He talked about high taxes, high fuel and food costs, little cars, and bad medicine. So I started ranting about why this Country is great. There are reasons we have the best doctors, low prices for food and gas. We drive big and distinctive cars. We don’t believe the government can save us from all the bad things in the world, and we help everyone else. We work hard!
Our capitalist system rewards hard work. We don’t have 60%+ taxes, because people work to support themselves and at the heart of the Country, we know that hard work will eventually pay off.
Competition breeds low prices, availability of goods and services, and high quality. If you have the best product at the best price, you will be successful. Now we have the socialists pushing for universal healthcare. A government that is on the way to bankrupting Social Security, made thousands of bad loans through Fannie May and Freddie Mac, watched the banking industry go bust, gave out $1 Billion of our tax money so government owned car companies could sell cars and bankrupted that program in a week, is incapable of running anything as complex as healthcare. Leave business to the business owners. Government bureaucrats have no idea how to run businesses. Obama is leading us down a path to destruction.
We are supposed to be the beacon of light, a place where the saying “Live the American Dream” means working hard and having that hard work rewarded. It doesn’t mean waiting around for the government to throw table scraps at us and simply survive while paying exorbitant taxes to a central government that will solve all our problems. That model doesn’t work.
You would think we would remember that we won the cold war and communism and socialism are bad things. Unfortunately, most of the Obama supporters don’t remember the history of socialist regimes. I’ll fill you in on the end-game of socialist and communist governments, they fail.
