After you’ve read this there are really only two reasons that you would vote for our Dear Ruler in November:
1: You’re a parasite, and you depend on the government’s ability to use its police power to take money from people who worked for and earned it, and give it to you in order to survive; or
2: You make money off of the people identified in No. 1 above.
I’ve been telling you this for three plus years now. Perhaps if you listened to the words of our spectacularly pitiful president
I’ve been telling you for a while that Caesar Obammus believes that America’s greatness comes from government. It really wasn’t hard to figure this out. After all, just how much time has Obama spent praising freedom and economic liberty since he became president. Think about it – Obama once referred to the private sector as “the enemy.” How can we NOT be listening?
Obama made a speech on Friday. In this speech we learned that Republicans are the focus of all that is evil in this country. The Republicans, after all, want to cut government spending, and that’s not good. Here’s Obama’s quote:
Republicans have "one message and that is, we're going to make sure that we cut people's taxes even more -- so that by every objective measure our deficit is worse and we will slash government investments that have made this country great."
“Investment” as you know, is a Democrat code word for “spending.” This is more focus group work. Democrats learned that people generally have a negative reaction to the “spending” word, especially as it relates to government. “Investing” evokes a positive response. So government spending has become investing.
So there you go … America is great because of government spending. This means, I suppose, that the more government spends the greater America becomes. Obama is a tool. (I really don’t understand that phrase, but it sounds good).
Anyone with the most superficial understanding of the foundation of this country – something that Dear Ruler does not have – knows that America’s greatness comes from the dynamic of free people working together in a system based on economic liberty and the rule of law with a minimum of government interference and regulation. Freedom, that’s what makes our country great! The freedom to start a business and grow that business with little obstacles from an imperial government, looking to stifle creativity, success and growth. Could you imagine the success of a company like Apple if it were ruled by the government? “Government investments” are simply the artificial redistribution of wealth from the private sector to a politically selected sector in society. It’s government picking the economic winners and losers. That is not what has made our country great. The principles of supply and demand have forced companies to become better in order to compete in the private marketplace where individuals decide what they want, not the government.
In this same little rant, Obama also dinged the Republicans for wanting to cut taxes, "not because it's going to balance the budget, but because it's driven by our ideological vision about how government should be. That's their agenda, pure and simple." This is quite a statement coming from a man who has accumulated more national debt in just three years ($4.939 trillion) than it took for his predecessor to do in eight years. Our national debt is over $15 trillion and now exceeds 100% of the nation's Gross Domestic Product. Obama’s deficit every year in office has been over $1 trillion, and his proposed budget only added to these figures. Taxes, Dear Ruler, are not the issue here. Spending is the issue. Cutting taxes is an “ideological vision of how our government should be” … it means more power in the hands of individuals and less power in the hands of our imperial federal government. It’s just that simple. But I could understand how this is a difficult concept to grasp for libs like Obama who believe that America’s greatness comes from government.
