Maybe it’s just me, but
sometimes I get the feeling that perhaps I no longer comprehend what I read,
started losing my faculties, or worse, drifted into a twilight zone where
nothing at all's as it seems.
Today is especially so
regarding other-world-like occurrences. Because according to Joel Gehrke,
Commentary Writer for The Washington Examiner via Drudge: “President
Obama cut a video, distributed by his reelection, to reiterate his belief that
the wealthiest Americans still aren’t paying their “fair share” of taxes.”
Then he went on to say, “Obviously,
there is still more to do when it comes to reducing our debt. And I’m willing
to do more, as long as we do it in a balanced way that doesn’t put all the
burden on seniors or students or middle class families, but also asks the
wealthiest Americans to contribute and pay their fair share.”
Now, I certainly understand
that virtually every word the incumbent utters contains little, if any, truth.
He’s the consummate example of Chicago politics, wherein nothing matters except
amassing votes, regardless of what it takes to gain them while valid job
experience, governing skills, or any semblance of true capability isn’t
required whatsoever. However, his comments today are so far from factual,
they’re beyond even Chicago’s total disregard for honesty.
While I have no expectation of
straightforwardness from the incumbent, whereas he’s proven to me for years now
that he’s anything but, what set me off today is his continual attack on the
successful and his ceaseless attempts to steal what they've gained for
themselves. Because they didn’t cause the financial morass we’re in...he did it
all by himself!
However, rather than trying to
repair the damage he’s caused and instituting a sensible, affordable, budget,
in his plan it seems that government can disrupt, mismanage, and perform
without an iota of skill or knowledge, and then when they’ve achieved
ruination, those who are the only ones left with any assets are supposed to
bail them out. Well, to me that’s not only incomprehensibly stupid, it sounds
like outright theft.
And in closing, I’ll simply
repeat part of my mantra of late by asking what would happen to the economy if
we drilled for our own oil? And how much bigger would businesses grow if not
saddled with socialistic causes like universal health care? And how much would
the price of U.S. vehicles decrease in the worldwide market if unions were out
of the picture? And how much more would young folks earn if they received
actual educations instead of worthless pap strewn by protected barely literate
members of the UFT? Then if you add the alphabet soup of agencies now
hamstringing businesses and preventing economic growth, the list would run on
for pages and pages.
So, instead of continually hounding the successful for
more money to waste via incompetence, perhaps the real cause of our financial
woes can be identified for a small investment of about fifty cents. Because if we
buy the incumbent an inexpensive mirror, he can see the economy-killing culprit
for himself.
That’s it for today folks.
Adios
