The Death of the American Dream

Four years ago I posted on the dangers of an Obama presidency. I called it the "Semi-American Dream." You can read it below.

Now we know that our fears were not unfounded. Obama has nationalized our healthcare system. He has raised our corporate tax rate to the highest in the world. He is running a campaign based on more spending of other people's money. And America is in the worst shape since the great depression.

 The math just doesn't add up. If he were to tax the everyone who makes more than $250,000 a year at 100% it would only run the government for 3 days. THREE DAYS! We are in a perilous situation. If we don't stop the unconscionable act of redistributing our successes, our country will go the way of the Roman empire and will usher in a new dark ages.

 I'm not a doomsdayer. It is simple math. The destruction of our economy will lead to the destruction of our society. A nation cannot spend more than it takes in and that nation cannot tax itself enough to fund unlimited spending. Obama has said that he wants to level the playing field in the name of fairness. How is it fair to take the products and success of someone who invests their life, time, and resources to succeed and give that success to someone who never invested one minute in the effort.

Their was a perfect illustration of redistribution on one of the national news networks. The reporter dressed in a costume on Halloween and as the children came to him attempted to equalize the candy that they had collected. The children, who had never sat through one Keynesian economic lecture, immediately recognized the unfairness of the idea. Yet our brilliant politicians cannot grasp the same lesson. Unfortunately, too many people believe the lies that they've been told and believe the same pap. The mainstream media perpetuates the lies as the propaganda arm of the administration. The gullible choose to accept the lie because they see themselves as the beneficiaries of government largesse. America was built by risk taker and achievers.

Our greatness lies in the product of our ancestral ethic. That anyone who is willing to invest themselves toward a goal can, through hard work and perseverance, achieve success in that goal. We are faced with an electoral choice that will determine the fate of our country. We are faced with choosing between a man who believes in the Marxist philosophy of an equal outcome in Barack Obama or the man who believes and exemplifies the greatness of the American spirit in Mitt Romney. I believe that the future of my children and grandchildren only has hope of success in the repudiation of the socialist agenda of Barack Obama. I still believe that their success will be the product of the efforts they expend toward their dream. I will not rest until they can pursue their American dream unfettered by the poisoning of socialist redistribution.

We cannot afford another term of Barack Obama.
