Dependence on Government Creates Inability to Cope

After decades of allowing the government to coddle and furnish benefits unearned, the French worker lost the ability to cope with adversity. The French have forgotten how take care of them selves.

America was built with the spirit of individualism, self reliance, and responsibility for self. Those who took great risks to cross the Atlantic Ocean, the pioneers who settled across America to farm, ranch, and discover, and innovators of business, industry, and science did not rely on a government. They took chances, overcame failure, and created the most powerful, benevolent, and successful nation with freedom and liberty never before achieved.

For the past hundred years, this nation has been infested with those who want to reverse this march to excellence with individuals creating prosperity for all, some having more prosperity than others do. Generally, ones prosperity is and has been dependent upon individual ability, desire, and work ethic. A movement has been afoot to push individual achievement aside and create a state dependent society. This has been the way all over the world for thousands of years prior to the enlightenment of 1776 and the American Revolution, which took the rule away from potentates and created a government by the people. We can now see areas in America where second and third generation are dependent on welfare. They have lost totally the desire and ability to fend for them selves. Unions that at one time were the saviors of the working person, now have total control of their members, to such a point that the American worker has lost the option to choose.

The Obama administration and our congress under the leadership of Pelosi and Reid, are attempting to put the end to higher individual achievement, entrepreneurial spirit, and self-reliance. They have taken control of our major manufacturing and financial institutions. They are attempting to set up burdensome taxation via Cap ‘N’ Trade and take complete control of our healthcare system from who gets what care to who provides it.

If we allow this government to complete its task, we all will be beholding to the government for our livelihood. As with all socialist states, this governance by consumption will degrade our standard of living, create corruption and black markets, and finally will have to institute a draconian dictatorship. We will all be equally pore and miserable.

We can stop this slide into pre-constitutional progress by vetting new candidates and selecting the right ones, those with a passion for civil service but no goal towards being career politicians. Once selected we must work hard to elect them and replace the elite ruling class of politicians now in charge. We must, like our founders, dedicate our selves to reverse this slip into socialism. Gather with you friends and associates, be sure to register likeminded people, and create a workforce to walk precincts, work the phone banks, and get out the vote for your candidates.
