BloggeRhythms 7/16/2012

I’ve written many times in the past about how little the incumbent knows about the American system, free enterprise and especially about anything having to do with business. But, at this point he’s either put himself further out of touch with the mainstream, or has truly started to panic.

I write that today because over the weekend in Roanoke, Virginia he was quoted as saying, “If you’ve got a business - you didn’t build that. Somebody else made that happen,” meaning he believes government's responsible for all business success. And that's the total reverse of how the nation was built and actually works.

This nation was in fact founded by entrepreneurs who were sick and tired of working hard to produce all of those things needed by themselves and others only to find an overbearing government bleeding them dry via taxation. So they came here, seeking freedom and proceeded to lay the foundation for the most successful marketplace in the world.

They soon found out that they needed some form of government to help keep things in order, and devoted some of their time to that effort, but it wasn't their job nor their career. And then, in time, as the nation grew it became necessary to establish a bureaucratic system to take on various administrative functions. However, through it all, entrepreneurs and those operating growing enterprises provided the funds and wherewithal for government to function, not the other way around.

Consequently, I think the incumbent ought to stop campaigning for a while and read a bit about the nation’s history. Because if he did he’d learn that government produces absolutely nothing, functions solely in support of the nation’s administerial needs and protections and as he should know better than anyone on earth, certainly doesn't make a profit.

And lastly, this nation doesn’t work for the government, never did and never will…it’s those in government that are compensated by taxpayers because the government’s supposed to work for them. 

That's it for today folks.

Adios
