UNITED STATES IS AT WAR WITH ITSELF.

I never dreamed I would live to see the turmoil, hate, property destruction and our government even at war with itself when the country is not at war with another country. I suppose this was happening during the Civil War. As I have written before Obama’s desire and dream to see Americans kill each other it is now being intensified. Some dissidents within the intelligence areas of the government itself are releasing classified information to a bloodthirsty twisted media that is begging for another Civil War. For one, I pray Trump is intelligent enough to drain the intelligence cesspool at warp speed. Things are happening so fast that even FOX News is unable to or is too scared to ferret out the facts alone. Soros and his Democratic puppets are operating close to treason and the media is helping hide the events.

A good friend of mine has a son who is apparently left of center is searching for answers. Hopefully he will wake up and understand that America is racing to become Socialists first and prisoner’s eventually when the Muslims gain control. The prime reason I wish to share this is I have children, grandchildren and great grandchildren who blindly are marching to the same music. The major difference my group is all females who have no idea or concern of their destiny and have ears filled with peanut butter and refuse to even have dialog with me. They all need to study what a life of slavery worse than we ever had in America is factually happening today.

My friend sent this following message to his son and the dialog that follows is something every parent who loves America needs to read. Unfortunately most of the demonstrators, destroyers of property and those who will never listen that are on the loose today spewing hate also have peanut butter in both ears.    

Putin’s Speec was sent to my friend’s son. There is no use for me to send this to my mentioned family as they don’t even speak to me anymore. C Brewer

It is a sad day when a Communist Leader makes more sense than “OUR LEADERS”, but here it is!

Vladimir Putin’s speech – SHORTEST SPEECH EVER. As the Russian president, addressed the Duma, (Russian Parliament), and gave a speech about the tensions with minorities in Russia:

“In Russia, we live like Russians. Any minority, from anywhere, if it wants to live in Russia, to work and eat in Russia, it should speak Russian, and should respect the Russian laws. If they prefer Sharia Law, and live the life of Muslim’s, then we now clearly advise them to go and live in those places where that’s the state law.

“Russia does not need Muslim minorities. Minorities need Russia, but we will not grant them special privileges, or try to change our laws to fit their desires, no matter how loud they yell ‘discrimination’. We will not tolerate disrespect of our Russian culture.

We had better learn from the suicides of so-called democracies – America, England, Holland, and France, if we are to survive as a nation. The Muslims are taking over those countries but they will not take over Russia. The Russian customs and traditions are not compatible with the lack of culture or the primitive ways of Sharia Law and Muslims.

“When this honorable legislative body thinks of creating new laws, it should have in mind the Russian national interest first, observing that the Muslims Minorities Are Not Russians.”

The politicians in the Duma gave Putin a “Fifteen minute standing ovation.

Now the exchange of views.

Dad, I am not sure what to think of this note.  I would be very interested to know when Putin gave the speech and if he has given similar speeches in the past.   Why?  Because I would think that “leaders” such as Putin and Trump play off in another. 

Dad’s response. The most significant aspect of this note (to me) is the concern for our future and the ever increasing threat from Islamic states.  A significant emphasis of the Islamic belief system is that non-believers must be killed, if they refuse to convert to Islam!  That is a clear and present danger to the entire world & Christians, in particular. Most, if not all, non-Muslim religions will accept alternative beliefs and religious dogma; however, not if a religion advocates the death of all non-believers; e.g., Christians and Jews.

Dad, don’t you think it is troubling that Trump refuses to release his Federal tax records?  With all of the controversy swirling around about Russia, the POTUS should be trying to show a clear separation between himself and foreign powers, especially Russia.  Trump is not a stupid guy, so he has a major reason for this refusal.  I don’t think it is a simple as his taxes are under audit or review. 

Dad’s response. Trump’s tax records.  He is not required to do so, either before or after the election.  He was elected despite that non release. As he said in the campaign, he followed the advice of his accountants and lawyers in order to minimize his overall tax bill.  I follow the tax advice of my accountant, don’t you? 

Dad, interesting what has happened with Mike Flynn.  Again, there is a connection with Russia and the THREAT potential for extortion.  Why is Trump cozy with Putin, when all the intelligent services, and therefor NSC and POTUS, know of their history of blackmail.  My comments herein are not political.  I am concerned about the exposure of the USG due to POTUS being exposed or vulnerable to blackmail.

Dad’s response. Re Trump being “cozy” with Putin.  A pejorative term at best that may reflect a non-confrontational attitude toward a major opposing ideology. If we have to deal with a bully, do we accuse or insult him to his face or do we couch our terms and references more circumspectly? Remember the adage that goes…”Keep your friends close but your enemies closer!” 

Re: Blackmail. Almost anyone can be accused of almost anything, true?  Political dialogue is a constant stream of accusations.  If someone does something he wouldn’t normally do in response to these possibly true attacks, then an individual could be said to be a victim of blackmail. What indications are there that lead you to conclude he is being blackmailed by the Russians?   

Re: Flynn.  Looks like some holdover anti-Trump supporters leaked the details of these conversations. That’s much more concerning to me than Flynn’s error in what was said and done between him and a Russian official during the period between his appointment by Trump and Trump’s inauguration. I bet a million that leaks by disgruntled hold over staff, with anti-Trump sentiments, haven’t happened on a scale like this, in recent political history. The Democrats are having a field day, over blowing all these little details that keep surfacing because of leaks by Trump haters. Trust and integrity have been the biggest casualty in this peaceful, so far, transfer of Administration.

Dad, as for this email, a country or a people are often judged by the way the they wage war, dominate the economic landscape, but equally as important is the manner in which the country treats it citizens and those that seek to join it.  America is a dream for the vast majority of the world’s citizens – Russia is not.  We cannot compare the two countries no matter how much Trump or Putin want to do that exact thing.  Democracy is not easy, a dictatorship is a much easier way to govern.

Dad’s response. On immigration: The US is a magnet for the poor and disadvantaged people of the world for a host of reasons, mostly economic. Russia, not so much, unless you happen to live in Uzbekistan or Outer Mongolia.  The act of sneaking into the US, jumping the queue, is a crime, pure and simple.  Rewarding such people is unfair to those who follow the law and it’s stupid.  Despite the all crying about self-imposed family separation, breaking the law has consequences. We may be the “dream” of would be residents; however, the taxpayer doesn’t share that dream when they are obligated to support the costs associated with millions of illegal immigrants, i.e., welfare, education, law enforcement, etc. The baloney that the illegals pay taxes is a red herring, as well. A large proportion of illegals have no SSAN, and receive cash payments for their labor which does not get taxed because it’s not reported.  It isn’t mean or cruel for the gov’t to follow the law.  It may not give everyone a warm and fuzzy feeling nor does it mean they want to pay higher taxes to support illegal residents.

Dad, the conservative elements in the White House I think would love to move more toward an authoritarian style government so that they could “get their agenda” moving on.  But that is the messy part of the democracy and why millions of people around the world aspire to come here and enjoy the US kind of democracy.  SON

Dad’s response. Authoritarian style government.  Have you conflated several concepts here?  What is your definition of an “authoritarian style gov’t?  Does it include the establishment of a “dictatorship? That sounds a little farfetched to me, even a trace of fear mongering. What, in your “opinion”, indicates such intentions?

I think most of us knew the transition would be rocky, during the period where leftover staff remained in their jobs and were privy to confidential information.  The leaking of such sensitive information is intentionally destructive to the Trump administration.  It “sour grapes” personified. When all cabinet heads and related staff are appointee’s “loyal” to in current administration, these unconscionable leaks should dry up. DAD

I tried to find a way to possibly publish this in more than one part. Unfortunately anyone who missed any of this information flow would gain nothing. I wish I was smart enough to know how to get every American alive, including my own family, to just read this. If my family or any other Left-Wing American would just have the courage to refute this article with palatable facts where my friend and I are wrong it will be published with apologies.

AMERICA WAS ONCE A LEADER!

Before Obama and far too many Progressives and Liberal Democratic politicians, American leaders did not apologize for our country’s prior actions. I doubt there is one single American citizen, illegal alien or dead voter that is blindly supporting Hillary Clinton or Bernie Sanders for President has ever read any of the following “FACTS”. In fact they would vote for a Democrat even if they did know as they are hell-bent on slashing our freedoms by ignoring and eventually destroying the Constitution.

Sadly some of these unhappy folks are in my family. Most live in Austin Texas where they were educated or have lived there so long among the Progressive-Liberals they have closed minds. As I have written before I was born a Democrat before a Republican was alive in Texas. I did not leave the Democratic Party, it left me when it changed from being the Conservative Party to what should be called the Socialist Party today. Hillary Clinton is a closet Communists and Bernie Sanders is an openly admitted Socialists. I doubt he has ever read the Constitution or the “Bill of Rights” and I have the same doubt for 99% of the group of robots I described in the first paragraph.

Although these “Blind Mice” will never read this article I pray enough who may be undecided will see that America did have some real leadership in the past. My friend Dan Fussel sent me this list of facts that motivated me to write this article. Dan is not as old as myself but we both remember these and other events that actually happened.

I hope everyone, including some in my own family, read these factual events and join me in voting for Donald Trump for President. He may not be a polished politician but he will make the rest of the polished ones either get their act together or retire and count our money they have accumulated. Many actually deserve a term in prison but we would have to pay for that too. I feel proud to just share these historical facts. Thanks Dan for stirring my memory.

FACTS

John Kennedy’s Secretary of State, Dean Rusk, was in France in the early 60’s when Charles DeGaulle decided to pull out of NATO. DeGaulle announced he wanted all US military out of France as soon as possible. Rusk responded, “Does that include those who are buried here?” DeGaulle did not respond.

When in England, at a large conference, General Colin Powell, George Bush’s Secretary of State was asked by the Archbishop of Canterbury if our plans for Iraq were just an example of ’empire building’ by George Bush. He answered by saying, “Over the years, the United States has sent many of its fine young men and women into great peril to fight for freedom beyond our borders. The only amount of land we have ever asked for in return is enough to bury those that did not return.” Silence was immediate.

 

There was a conference in France where a number of international engineers were taking part, including French and American. During a break, one of the French engineers came back into the room saying, “Have you heard the latest dumb stunt George Bush has done? He has sent an aircraft carrier to Indonesia to help the tsunami victims. What does he intend to do, bomb them?”

A Boeing engineer stood up and replied quietly: “Our carriers have three hospitals on board that can treat several hundred people; they are nuclear powered and can supply emergency electrical power to shore facilities; they have three cafeterias with the capacity to feed 3,000 people three meals a day, they can produce several thousand gallons of fresh water from sea water each day, and they carry half a dozen helicopters for use in transporting victims and injured to and from their flight deck. We have eleven such ships; how many does France have?” Silence was immediate.

A U.S. Navy Admiral was attending a naval conference that included Admirals from the U.S., English, Canadian, Australian and French Navies. During a cocktail reception, he found himself standing with a large group of officers that included personnel from most of those countries. Everyone was chatting away in English as they sipped their drinks, but a French admiral suddenly complained that, whereas Europeans learn many languages, Americans learn only English. He then asked, “Why is it that we always have to speak English in these conferences rather than speaking French?”

Without hesitating, the American Admiral replied, “Maybe it’s because the Brit’s, Canadians, Aussie’s and Americans arranged it so you wouldn’t have to speak German.” Silence was immediate.

THIS STORY FITS RIGHT IN WITH THE ABOVE…Robert Whiting, an elderly American gentleman of 83, arrived in Paris by plane. At French Customs, he took a few minutes to locate his passport in his carry on.

“You have been to France before, monsieur?” the customs officer asked very sarcastically.

Mr. Whiting admitted that he had been to France previously.

“Then you should know enough to have your passport ready.”

The American quickly responded, “The last time I was here, I didn’t have to show it.”

“Impossible’ responded the Frenchman. All Americans always have to show their passports on arrival in France!”

Mr. Whiting gave the Frenchman a long hard look. Then, he quietly explained, ”Well, when I came ashore at Omaha Beach on D-Day in 1944 to help liberate this country, I couldn’t find a single Frenchman to show a passport to.”

Today we just apologize for everything. As a boy during world war two the story of some country’s greatest war time military inventions included; France invented the “White flag” of surrender and the Italians invented back-up lights for tanks.

God Bless America and please vote for Trump. C Brewer

LEADERS – WE USED TO HAVE SOME!

Once upon a time American leaders did not apologize for our country’s actions, here’s a refresher on how some of our former patriots handled negative comments about our great country.

JFK’s Secretary of State, Dean Rusk, was in France in the early 60’s when DeGaulle decided to pull out of NATO.

DeGaulle said he wanted all US military out of France as soon as possible.

Rusk responded, “Does that include those who are buried here?” De Gaulle did not respond.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

In England, at a fairly large conference, Colin Powell was asked by the Archbishop of Canterbury if our plans for Iraq were just an example of ’empire building’ by George Bush.

Powell answered by saying, “Over the years, the United States has sent many of its fine young men and women into great peril to fight for freedom beyond our borders. The only amount of land we have ever asked for in return is enough to bury those that did not return.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

There was a conference in France where a number of international engineers were taking part, including French and American. During a break, one of the French engineers came back into the room saying, “Have you heard the latest dumb stunt Bush has done?

He has sent an aircraft carrier to Indonesia to help the tsunami victims. What does he intend to do, bomb them?”

Without hesitating, the American Admiral replied, “Maybe it’s because the Brit’s, Canadians, Aussie’s and Americans arranged it so you wouldn’t have to speak German.”

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

AND THIS STORY FITS RIGHT IN WITH THE ABOVE.

Robert Whiting, an elderly gentleman of 83, arrived in Paris by plane. At French Customs, he took a few minutes to locate his passport in his carry on.

“You have been to France before, monsieur?” the customs officer asked sarcastically.

Mr. Whiting admitted that he had been to France previously.

“Then you should know enough to have your passport ready.”

The American said, “The last time I was here, I didn’t have to show it.”

“Impossible. Americans always have to show their passports on arrival in France!”

The American senior gave the Frenchman a long hard look. Then, he quietly explained, ”Well, when I came ashore at Omaha Beach on D-Day in 1944 to help liberate this country,

I couldn’t find a single Frenchman to show a passport to.”

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

I am proud to be of this land — AMERICA

I am proud to be an American

HAVE A GOOD DAY

Thanks to my great friend Allan Moore for sharing this information. For those of you who have not been to France to suffer their arrogance, it is a pretty country. I was told years ago that the greatest French military invention was a white flag. I am sure that if I have any French readers they will cancel their subscription.

OBAMAS PLAN FOR YOUR FUTUTE!

IS THIS WHAT YOU WANT?

If you want to see where Obama is steering America, this video about France is a perfect illustration of the direction we are headed if someone does not stop him. This is the goal of the Liberal-Progressive and environmental extremist’s movement to change America that started over 100 years ago.

Any American that watches this Canadian made video and can’t see the end result of where we are headed is dumb, blind or just stupid. I can’t understand why free people can stomach the destruction of the greatest nation on earth. The Democratic 24 hour prayer service last week demanding action by Americans to stop causing global-warming is the silliest waste of time and money ever conducted by Congress. These members of Congress belong on a funny farm. The people who voted for them must already be there or at least should be.

My admiration for Goodyear accelerated by hearing the reason they are shutting down the French operations. If the bread in France is as hard as it was on my several visits, they can make tires out of bread dough.  

Watch this then send me why you would like to move to France where you belong. Our union members should love it in France. We should buy them free one-way tickets to move.

TODAYS AMERICA- WHY WE NO LONGER HAVE ENOUGH JOBS?

Did anyone watching the State-of-the-Union last night here one word on why we can’t make these things in America again? No!

Our President and Congress ignore the problems which are “REGULATIONS, UNIONS and POWER”. They just love to soak it to the energy industry so we can make OPEC  and AL Gore richer.  C Brewer

THE STORY

Men looking for work, start the day early using an alarm clock (MADE IN JAPAN).

Next they plug in the coffee pot (MADE IN CHINA).

They shave with an electric razor (MADE IN HONG KONG).

They put on a dress shirt (MADE IN SRI LANKA), designer jeans (MADE IN SINGAPORE) and tennis shoes (MADE IN KOREA).

After cooking breakfast in his new electric skillet (MADE IN INDIA) he sits down with his calculator (MADE IN MEXICO) to see how much he could spend today.

After setting his watch (MADE IN TAIWAN) to the radio (MADE IN INDIA) he gets in his car (MADE IN GERMANY) filled with GAS (from Saudi Arabia) and continued his search for a good paying AMERICAN JOB.

At the end of yet another discouraging and fruitless day checking his Computer (made in MALAYSIA), he decides to relax for a while.

He put on his sandals (MADE IN BRAZIL), pours himself a glass of wine (MADE IN FRANCE) and turns on his TV (MADE IN INDONESIA), and  wonders why he can’t find a good paying job in AMERICA

HE’S PRAYING HE CAN GET A JOB WITH SOME HELP FROM A PRESIDENT MADE IN GOD KNOWS WHERE!

ANON…..Thanks Ron

OBAMAS PLAN FOR AMERICA- IS THIS WHAT YOU WANT?

FACTS ARE FACTS…………..WAKE UP AMERICA

A good friend sent me this material and it reminded me of the article I wrote on Denmark. I hope enough sane Americans will see how these “progressive” countries think that between 59.6% up to 80% of an individuals income should be paid back to the government to be fair. Soon you will not have to move to Europe to enjoy the Socialists benefits. If Obama is re-elected you can share you hard earned pay and retirement savings with the Occupiers and those who refuse to work.   CB

Having just returned from three weeks in Greece, I can assure you the cost of living and the income of the average individual is creating a severe economic slow down, but more than that, they keep electing the individuals who promise to keep the unearned, unworked for incomes unchanged. In other words they promise to keep the government handouts coming in exchange for their vote. How they can possibly do this has yet to be exhibited, explained or even discussed much among the Greek people themselves. They just trust that the man they voted for will be able to pull a rabbit out of the hat, because that’s what he said he could do 😉 They raised taxes on the rich years ago . . . and the super rich left the country for less burdensome rates elsewhere . . . in many cases taking their companies with them. 😦

To verify these rates check: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tax_rates_of_Europe

If you’ve started to wonder what the real costs of socialism are going to be – once the full program in these United States hits your wallet, take a look at the table. As you digest these mind-boggling figures, keep in mind that in spite of these astronomical tax rates, these countries are still not financing their social welfare programs exclusively from tax revenues! They are deeply mired in public debt of gargantuan proportions. Greece has reached the point where its debt is so huge it is in imminent danger of defaulting. That is the reason the European economic community has intervened to bail them out. If you’re following the financial news, you know Spain and Portugal are right behind Greece.


The United States is now heading right down the same path. The VAT tax in the table is the national sales tax that Europeans pay. Stay tuned because that is exactly what you can expect to see the administration proposing after the fall elections. The initial percentage in the United States isn’t going to be anywhere near the outrageous numbers you now see in Europe. The current outrageous numbers in Europe didn’t start out as outrageous either. They started out as minuscule – right around the 1% or 2% where they will start out in the United States. Magically, however, they ran up over the years to where they are now. Expect the same thing here. (Kinda like the Federal Excise Tax on tires that was established in WWII to help off-set the war effort and was supposed to go away after the war)

It is the very notion that with hard work and perseverance, anybody can get ahead economically here in the USA . Do you think that can ever happen with tax rates between 60% and 80%? Think again. With the government taking that percentage of your money, your life will be exactly like life in Europe … You will never be able to buy a home. (Well actually our government will tell the banks they have to loan you the money even if you know they can’t pay it back) You will never buy a car. (Our government will simply take over the auto industry and sell everyone a car . . . for a time anyway) You will never send your children to college. (See the above, State run institutions will be forced by the gov. to make a University education available for all) Let’s not shuffle the battle cry of the socialists under the rug either. It’s always the same cry. Equalize income. Spread the wealth to the poor (whoever they are). Level the economic playing field. Accomplish that and everything will be rosy.

It’s time to take a hard look at reality. Greece is a perfect example. Despite the socialism system that has ruled this country for decades, with a 65% tax rate, they are drowning in public debt, would have defaulted without hundreds of billions in bailout money from the EU, and still. . . 20% of their population lives in poverty. What has all that socialism money bought, besides ultimate power for the politicians running the show? Do you think these people are “free”? They are slaves to their economic “system.” Instead of spreading the wealth around, spread this info around. It might wake up some people.

If you agree with this, share it, if you do not agree with it, read it again!   

Thanks Jim

NATIONAL IDENTITY- FOR WHAT AND FOR WHO?

 

 

 HERE ARE ALL THE DEVELOPED NATIONS OF THE WORLD THAT OFFER BIRTHRIGHT CITIZENSHIP TO THE BABIES OF TOURISTS AND ILLEGAL ALIENS:1.    United States
 That’s right, every other modern developed nation in the world has gotten rid of birthright citizenship policies.  Yet, during the last few months, most of U.S. news media and many politicians have ridiculed comments by some other politicians that it is time for the U.S. to put an end to birthright citizenship for tourists and illegal aliens.
Folks, the U.S. stands alone.

 

There used to be all kinds of Developed countries that gave away their citizenship as freely as we do in the U.S.    But one by one they all have recognized the folly of that policy.

SOME MODERN COUNTRIES THAT RECENTLY ENDED THEIR BIRTHRIGHT CITIZENSHIP POLICY:

  • Canada was the last non-U.S … holdout.  Illegal aliens stopped getting citizenship for their babies in 2009
  • Australia’s birthright citizenship requirements are much more stringent than those of H.R. 1868 and took effect in 2007
  • New Zealand repealed in 2006
  • Ireland repealed in 2005
  • France repealed in 1993
  • India repealed in 1987
  • United Kingdom repealed in 1983
  • Portugal repealed in 1981

The United States is now the laughing stock of the modern world. Only the U.S. values its citizenship so lowly as to distribute it promiscuously to the off-spring of foreign citizens visiting Disney World on tourist visas and to foreign citizens who have violated their promises on their visitor, work and student visas to stay illegally in the country, as well as to those who just plain sneak across our borders. It’s not just Mexico and South America who are sending illegals across our borders.  Currently, the CBP reports that of those apprehended illegally crossing the border, China is number one.
Wake up America.

Illegal aliens from China , India , Russia , the Middle East  and a host of other nations are flooding the country.  Ironically, some of these illegals and/or their offspring are given positions at the front of the line for Government jobs, contracts and assistance.
Look around you!  We are giving away our culture, and economic and fiscal strength because our borders are not secure and we bestow citizenship irresponsibly.

TAXES-WILL THIS WILL BALANCE THE BUDGET?

 

I believe this will be the bi-partisan solution soon.  CB

Current European tax rates:
 
United Kingdom     
  Income Tax:  50%    
    VAT:  17.5%   TOTAL:  67.5%
 France      
  Income Tax:  40%    
    VAT:  19.6%   TOTAL:  59.6%
 Greece      
  Income Tax:  40%    
    VAT:  25%      TOTAL:  65%
Spain      
  Income Tax:  45%    
   VAT:  16%      TOTAL:  61%
Portugal    
  Income Tax:  42%    
    VAT:  20%      TOTAL:  62%
Sweden      
  Income Tax:  55%    
    VAT:  25%      TOTAL:  80%
Norway      
  Income Tax:  54.3%    
    VAT:  25%      TOTAL:  79.3%
Netherlands      
  Income Tax:  52%    
    VAT:  19%      TOTAL:  71%
 Denmark      
  Income Tax:  58%    
    VAT:  25%      TOTAL:  83%
 Finland    
  Income Tax:  53%    
    VAT:  22%      TOTAL:  75%

 

If you’ve started to wonder what the real costs of socialism will be when fully implemented take a look at these taxes. As you digest these mind-boggling figures, keep in mind that in spite of these astronomical tax rates, these countries are still not financing their social welfare programs exclusively with tax revenues! They are deeply mired in public debt of gargantuan proportions.  Greece has reached the point where it’s debt is so huge it is in imminent danger of defaulting. That is the reason the European economic community has intervened to bail them out.  If you’re following the financial news, you know Spain and Portugal are right behind Greece .

 

The United States is now heading right down the same path. The VAT tax (Value Added Tax) in the table is the national sales tax that Europeans pay. Stay tuned because that is exactly what you can expect to see the administration proposing. The initial percentage in the United States isn’t going to be anywhere near the outrageous numbers you now see in Europe. Guess what… the current outrageous numbers in Europe didn’t start out as outrageous either. They started out as miniscule, around the 1% or 2% where they will likely start out in the United States. Magically, however, they ran up over the years to where they are now. Expect the same thing here.


It is the very notion that with hard work and perseverance,

anybody can get ahead economically here in the USA . Do you think that can ever happen with tax rates between 60% and 80%?  Think again. With the government taking that percentage of your money, your life will be exactly like life in Europe. You will never be able to buy a home. You will never buy a car. You will never send your children to college.

Let’s not shuffle the battle cry of the socialists under the rug either. It’s always the same cry. Equalize income. Spread the wealth to the poor (whoever they are). Level the economic playing field.  Accomplish that and everything will be rosy. It’s time to take a really hard look at reality.  Greece is a perfect example. Despite the socialism system that has ruled this country for decades, with a 65% tax rate, they are drowning in public debt, would have defaulted without hundreds of  billions in bailout money from the EU, and still. . .  20% of their population lives in poverty. What has all that socialism money bought, besides ultimate power for the politicians running the show? Do you think these people are “free”? 

They’re not.  They are slaves to their economic “system.” Instead of spreading the wealth around, spread this around, it might wake some people up for a change.
