This is not just about politics or the left or right.\u00a0 It\u2019s about our\u00a0future<\/strong><\/span>.\u00a0<\/em> Yours, mine, our children\u2019s. \u00a0Our government is literally spending us into oblivion… Our politicians are lying to us…<\/strong><\/em> <\/span>\u00a0Most of our citizens don’t have a clue as to what’s happening or the inevitable break down of society that’s coming if we don’t get this under control.<\/em> <\/strong><\/span>\u00a0The first step in solving any<\/em> <\/strong>problem is understanding that it exists. \u00a0It doesn’t matter to what party or voting block belong. If we care about the future of our children, our grandchildren, the future of this country, we must ALL get involved.<\/em><\/strong>\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0We have to\u00a0make the public aware of the danger we are in! \u00a0Please help us to share and inform the public\u00a0<\/strong><\/em><\/span>to the plight we now face…<\/strong> <\/em><\/span>\u00a0<\/p>\n

The fact of the matter is that about 20% of our voters don\u2019t have a clue as to what they really voted for, what it means or where it leads\u2026<\/strong><\/span><\/em> The uninformed voter may be BRILLIANT… but still uninformed<\/em>. Consequently, they are persuaded by the biggest, although, impossible<\/span> promise, the most inspiring, but meaningless<\/span> speech and the most beautiful, but unachievable<\/span> vision\u2026<\/span><\/em><\/strong> The politician gets the vote\u2026 the nation gets the shaft!<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

The uninformed electorate is a big part of why our government is not working. Education and understanding is vital to this nation\u2019s future.<\/em><\/strong><\/span> Please, share this with everyone, Twitter, Facebook, Google+ Linkedin, etc\u2026<\/em><\/strong><\/span> Remember, all that is required for tyranny to prevail, is for good people to do nothing.<\/strong> Please help.<\/span><\/em><\/p>\n

YOUR FUTURE IS IN\u00a0<\/strong>JEOPARDY<\/b><\/span>
\nThe United States is going down the tubes as is much of the free world. \u00a0We must work together to fix it. \u00a0Our government is on the brink of economic collapse. \u00a0 More than 40 cents of every $1 we spend is borrowed, mostly from China.\u00a0 What do you think will happen when they stop lending???<\/em><\/strong>\u00a0 AND THEY WILL! \u00a0Everything you know and expect from your government will change.\u00a0 The social safety net will be gone, social security gone, there will be chaos<\/em>.\u00a0 All anyone has to do is look, not just to history, but to present day events…<\/i><\/strong><\/span>
\nCountries that just a few years ago were as stable as us are now rioting in the streets.\u00a0 Why?\u00a0 Because they did what our leaders are doing right now!<\/span> <\/i><\/b>\u00a0i.e. being totally financially irresponsible as a government. \u00a0THEN<\/strong><\/em>, when they could no longer borrow, they could no longer support the dependency society they had created<\/span><\/em> and the result was chaos. \u00a0 \u00a0We are on that road.<\/em><\/span><\/p>\n

Just like our leaders, they knew it was coming, but to stay in power, to get re-elected they did nothing about it. \u00a0They promised more and took more, while continuing toward the cliff. \u00a0<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

As George Bernard Shaw said, \u201cas long as you have a government that takes from Peter to pay Paul, it will always have the support of Paul\u201d.<\/i><\/b>\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

They retained power by taking from tax payers until there was nothing left to take and nothing more that could be given! \u00a0 The result was and is Chaos. \u00a0Our politicians are using government handouts and benefits of every sort to gain and keep power… Even though EVERY economist agrees that our country is on an unsustainable<\/em> <\/strong>fiscal course.\u00a0\u00a0We must bring some sanity back to the system or it will fail.<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n

In spite of what our leaders would have you believe, <\/i>we cannot Tax our way out of this mess anymore than Spain and Greece could.<\/em><\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

LIBERAL GOVERNMENT IN ACTION-<\/strong><\/span>
\nDo what sounds good, makes the most people happy, gets the most votes (\u2019til after the election), take the credit for doing \u201csomething\u201d, getting reelected for doing such a \u201cgreat\u201d job; (the hell with the long term consequences, I\u2019ll be retired)\u2026 and then when things don\u2019t improve or gets even worse? Blame other politicians\u2026 after all, the only reason it\u2019s not fixed is that \u201cthey didn\u2019t let me do more!\u201d<\/p>\n

For years, the LIBERAL answer has been to give more to those that will vote for them by increasing taxes.\u00a0 It just doesn\u2019t work. Higher taxes ALWAYS diminishes wealth, lowers the tax base, which lowers tax revenues, which causes budget deficits that creates the need for MORE TAXES, which diminishes wealth, which lowers the tax base even more, etc\u2026 Insanity!<\/p>\n

Whatever the solutions to real problems may be, one thing is certain\u2026 Increasing Taxes is not it!<\/p>\n

There are not enough rich<\/strong><\/em><\/span> and not enough wealth in the entire country. \u00a0Even if the government took it all, there are not enough assets or wealth to support our government’s largess.\u00a0 Our liberal leaders, Obama, Pelosi, Reid are pretending that everything is fine, that the rich paying \u201ctheir fair shar<\/em>e\u201d, will fix it.\u00a0 It won\u2019t!\u00a0 They Know it!\u00a0 THEY ARE LYING.<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n

HOW TO STAY IN POWER?\u00a0 Ignore Reality<\/strong><\/span>
\nThe party in power seems not to care, seems to be concerned for nothing other than retaining power.
\nThey are aware of the problem but pretend it doesn\u2019t even exist!\u00a0 To stay in power they simply keep their constituency oblivious to the chaos that\u2019s coming. \u00a0see\u00a0Should We All Vote?<\/a><\/p>\n

The conservatives, Boehner, Ryan, Rubio, Romney, etc\u2026 have been screaming at the top of their lungs that we have to do something.\u00a0 But the media doesn\u2019t listen, so the public doesn\u2019t hear.<\/i><\/strong>\u00a0<\/strong> But you hear nothing from the Liberals, because the solution requires honesty and fiscal responsibility, which means, fewer handouts and the loss of some votes! \u00a0i.e. less power. They are letting things get worse and simply blaming the other party as it happens.<\/em><\/strong>\u00a0 That strategy seems to be working for them. The combination of deceitful politicians and a mainstream media that never calls them on their lies or half truths, is perpetuating the power they so desire, while continuing our path to destruction.<\/p>\n

They make great promises and speeches that are incredibly persuasive to those that pay little or no attention.<\/em><\/strong> \u00a0They play political games, misname legislation for political affect (affordable care act), fabricate non existent issues (the war on women), go behind closed doors to create the laws, and then put children in the forefront of signing ceremonies for emotional appeal to pass laws that accomplish nothing.
\nDemocratic Politics 101-<\/strong>\u00a0 Just ignore the real problem.\u00a0 It won\u2019t go away\u2026 but we stay in power.<\/p>\n

Most importantly… NEVER LET A TRAGEDY GO TO WASTE!<\/strong>
\nTheir legislative philosophy is encapsulated in the phrase made famous by Rom Emmanuel
\n\u201cNever let a tragedy go to waste\u201d.\u00a0 i.e. use the emotion of a tragic event to push through legislation that could never be passed otherwise.<\/em>\u00a0 What\u2019s wrong with this philosophy? \u00a0If a law doesn\u2019t get passed when it is analyzed and discussed fairly and logically, while divorced from the pressures of emotional or political turmoil;\u00a0 it probably means it wasn\u2019t a good idea in the first place.<\/i>\u00a0 People rarely make better decisions when infuriated or heartbroken than when they are calm and rational.\u00a0 But that\u2019s when these politicians do their \u201cbest\u201d work.<\/p>\n

One political party stays in power by preying on the ill informed and pushing the idea of class warfare, easy solutions, tax the rich, fair share, government can do it better, etc\u2026 as the solution to societal and individual needs.\u00a0 IT\u2019S A LIE AND THEY KNOW IT.<\/strong><\/em>
\nSee the Company Obama Keeps.<\/a>
\nWhy the drop in unemployment is so disturbing<\/a>
\nList of lies, half truths, broken promises and failed policies.<\/a>
\nDeceit, \u00a0obfuscation, manipulation is the order of the day and the foundation of legislative and political tactics.\u00a0 But just a moment of thought makes it clear how empty the promises and tactics are.<\/p>\n

WE ARE GOING BANKRUPT… AND GETTING WHAT? \u00a0I can and do support laws and policies that work… but this???<\/em><\/strong><\/span>
\n Think about it. \u00a0<\/span>There is nothing that government does efficiently, other than create armies\u2026<\/strong> and even then our armies are the home of the $100 dollar hammer and $500 dollar toilet seat.<\/span> \u00a0The government can\u2019t even deliver a letter, and we are supposed to trust them to improve our lives?<\/span> <\/em><\/strong><\/span>\u00a0To improve healthcare?\u00a0 To increase our standard of living?\u00a0 Government doesn\u2019t do that\u2026 it never has.\u00a0 This is accomplished only via a free and vibrant unconstrained economy.\u00a0 Ask yourself, where do you get more efficient service; better value\u2026 the post office?\u00a0 The DMV?… \u00a0or is it Walmart? Or Apple?<\/span><\/p>\n

How effective is government?\u00a0 <\/b><\/span>
\n Remember the \u201cwar on drugs\u201d?\u00a0 How\u2019s that going?<\/span>
\n Remember, the Great Society?\u00a0 The \u201cwar on poverty\u201d?<\/span>
\n What did we get? The war on poverty brought us the welfare system and generations of families on that \u201clearned\u201d the best way for a check is to have a kid.\u00a0 Want more money? \u00a0Have more children.\u00a0 Then thanks to Clinton<\/em> <\/strong>and a Republican house, we got welfare reform which diminished dependency and brought millions out of poverty.\u00a0<\/span> Ironically, ending the \u201cwar against poverty\u201d reduced poverty.\u00a0 Obama, recently gutted the main portions of reform that made it so effective.\u00a0<\/em> Encouraging independence or self reliance does not seem to be one of his objectives, the more people dependent on government, the more votes democratic politicians get.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Don’t get me wrong…<\/strong> I believe that we have an obligation to provide a safety net for those that need it<\/i><\/b>.\u00a0 But we don\u2019t have an obligation to provide a free lunch to those that simply want it!<\/i><\/b>\u00a0 But it is a great way to get votes!<\/em><\/p>\n

As George Bernard Shaw said, \u201cas long as you have a government that takes from Peter to pay Paul, it will always have the support of Paul\u201d.<\/i><\/b>\u00a0\u00a0 Our politicians are using government handouts and benefits of every sort to gain and keep power… Even though EVERY economist agrees that our country is on an unsustainable fiscal course.\u00a0 We have to bring some sanity back to the system or it will fail.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Thanks to the wisdom of government\u2026<\/strong><\/p>\n
