Fearmongering and class warfare.
Posted: Monday, February 7, 2011 by King Matyas inHere are a few things to think about...
How do you pay for mandatory health insurance if you don't have a job?
How can you land a job if businesses are being punished for making a profit?
If you snuff out the "wealthy", where will the money come from to start new businesses?
Where does the money come from to purchase services or goods manufactured by other businesses?
What will you and I do when all the "wealth" has been redistributed and gone forever?
The new beginning of class warfare is in it's infancy, but the flames are becoming increasingly fanned with each piece of un-needed legislation that is coming out of this Administration. I find it very interesting that instead of focusing completely on job creation through the first half of the current Presidential term, it was mired with health care overhaul. Now they want to create new jobs by working on America's infrastructure? FAIL. This should have been done two years ago.
America's roads and bridges have been in a state of decay for decades. How many new jobs could have been created if the failed stimulus funds had been redirected to build America back from the ground up? Did you know that the ASCE issued a report card for America's Infrastructure, assigning the nation's roads, bridges, water systems and other critical foundations a cumulative grade of D in January of 2009? Pretty terrible if you ask me. And we boast that we are the greatest nation in the world. It also reports that from 2007-2009 there was an increase of approximately 3000 dams that are high hazard, that is to say they pose immediate threat to human life should they fail.
I'm all for natural attrition, but servicing a dam doesn't necessarily take away from that important part of existence.
How many new construction jobs do you think could have been created if stimulus funds were directed to infrastructure to begin with? How many could have been retained? The numbers in their imaginative form are just as imaginative as Obama's have been throughout his presidency for job creation and retention. At the very least, we would have actual numbers instead of imaginary.
This is going to be completely off topic but it's my blog, and I can do what I wanna.
What do you think about welfare and other government assistance recipients being required to take an initial drug test and submit to immediate random drug testings to retain benefits? What about those recipients being required to work for those benefits, on a part time basis, cleaning up the streets, parks, etc? Twenty hours a week would still allow them ample time to look for a job before their benefits expire. And that brings up another point... Benefits should expire in shorter term. We are creating a welfare state by extending and increasing benefits to those who are legitimately on hard times, and
the many, many more who are not. I bet you would see a tremendous amount of new people looking for work if you took their Wic cards and food stamps away from them. I certainly don't want to keep footing the bill for the freeloaders.
What will people do without government assistance? Try to become something? Work to better their situation? What about the woman with 8 illegitimate kids who keeps getting pregnant to increase her monthly check she gets from the government? When should the rest of us demand she lose her reproductive organs? (alright that is a bit extreme, but the pregnancy thing is something that happens) I don't want my tax dollars to go to her, or him, etc. One of you free loading sons of bitches is going to be on the receiving end of the grand I owe this year, and that upsets me tremendously.
You know what else infuriates me? Fearmongering.
We NEED health insurance for people who will DIE without it! If we don't provide health insurance for all, Prices will continue to INCREASE!
No nuclear power plants because they MIGHT melt down!
We CAN'T shut down the Dept. of Education because we won't be able to educate our youth!
The current administration wants you to fear your own success or potential for success. they don't want you to apply your skills to improving your own life, they wish to do it for you. they want you to fear the future if you make your own decisions and set your own direction in life... why is this? Simply because once you tap your potential by taking control of your own destiny, you will never fall for the idea that government can do a better job at managing your life and the future of your family better than you can manage them. You become, in a sense, dangerous to those who make their living off increasing your taxes, promoting class warfare, and limiting your opportunity for self-determination by convincing you that you are a victim of some masterful, yet evil plan for your destruction.
"Government is not a solution to our problem, government is the problem. From time to time we've been tempted to believe that society has become too complex to be managed by self-rule, that government by an elite group is superior to government for, by, and of the people. Well, if no one among us is capable of governing himself, then who among us has the capacity to govern someone else?" -Ronald Reagan
I know who... no one.
Let's reduce the size of our overwhelming government and get back to increasing our role in managing the direction of our lives.
Until next time, refrain from smacking idiots.

All I have to say is "Amen". I agree whole-heartedly with you, especially that people should have to submit to drug testing and do "community service" in order to keep their benefits. This would make a tremendous difference, not only on the amount of people who would be receiving the benefits, but also on the state of our country. Things would get cleaned, fixed, taken care of, and it wouldn't cost the country any more than what we are already handing out for free! People do come across hard-times and those people deserve some help, but usually those people are willing to work for the help they get - I think that's how you can tell the difference between a legitimate person and a free-loader.
Just the other day I was talking to Jon about how it wasn't that long ago that the government simply couldn't reach the entire country to control it. The people in Washington DC hardly knew what the people in the west were up to at all because they were so darn far away. Each state essentially took care of it's self, and each county, and each city. They didn't need government to be so intrusive - and people were just fine! Our country prospered, people had to become ambitious, had to work hard, and had to be smart in order to provide the lifestyle they wanted for themselves and their families. Now the government punishes success by stealing from those who have worked hard to become successful and giving it to that pregnant lady you mentioned.
Oh man, this post is getting long. I will get off of my soap box now........
Long story short, I agree with you.
