The Democrats are right, there are two Americas . The America that works and
the America that doesn't. The America that contributes and the America that
doesn't. It's not the haves and the have not's, it's the dos and the don'ts
. Some people do their duty as Americans, obey the law, support themselves,
contribute to society and others don't.
That's the divide in America.
It's not about income inequality, it's about civic irresponsibility. It's
about a political party that preaches hatred, greed and victimization in
order to win elective office. It's about a political party that loves power
more than it loves its country.
That's not invective, that's truth, and it's about time someone said it.
The politics of envy was on proud display a couple weeks ago when President
Obama pledged the rest of his term to fighting "income inequality." He noted
that some people make more than other people, that some people have higher
incomes than others, and he says that's not just. That is the rationale of
thievery. The other guy has it, you want it, Obama will take it for you.
Vote Democrat. That is the philosophy that produced Detroit .
It is the electoral philosophy that is destroying America . It conceals a
fundamental deviation from American values and common sense because it ends
up not benefiting the people who support it, but a betrayal.
The Democrats have not empowered their followers, they have enslaved them in
a culture of dependence and entitlement, of victim-hood and anger instead
of ability and hope.
The president's premise “ that you reduce income inequality by debasing the
successful“ seeks to deny the successful the consequences of their choices
and spare the unsuccessful the consequences of their choices. Because, by
and large, income variations in society are a result of different choices
leading to different consequences. Those who choose wisely and responsibly
have a far greater likelihood of success, while those who choose foolishly
and irresponsibly have a far greater likelihood of failure.
Success and failure usually manifest themselves in personal and family
income. You choose to drop out of high school or to skip college â
and you are apt to have a different outcome than someone who gets a diploma
and pushes on with purposeful education. You have your children out of
wedlock and life is apt to take one course; you have them within a marriage
and life is apt to take another course. Most often in life our destination
is determined by the course we take.
My doctor, for example, makes far more than I do. There is significant
income inequality between us. Our lives have had an inequality of outcome,
but, our lives also have had an inequality of effort. While my doctor went
to college and then devoted his young adulthood to medical school and
residency, I got a job in a restaurant. He made a choice, I made a choice,
and our choices led us to different outcomes. His outcome pays a lot better
than mine. Does that mean he cheated and Barack Obama needs to take away his
wealth? No, it means we are both free men in a free society where free
choices lead to different outcomes.
It is not inequality Barack Obama intends to take away, it is freedom. The
freedom to succeed, and the freedom to fail. There is no true option for
success if there is no true option for failure. The pursuit of happiness
means a whole lot less when you face the punitive hand of government if your
pursuit brings you more happiness than the other guy. Even if the other guy
sat on his arse and did nothing. Even if the other guy made a lifetime's
worth of asinine and short sighted decisions.
Barack Obama and the Democrats preach equality of outcome as a right, while
completely ignoring inequality of effort. The simple Law of the Harvest “
as ye sow, so shall ye reap“ is sometimes applied as, "The harder you work,
the more you get."
Obama would turn that upside down. Those who achieve are to be punished as
enemies of society and those who fail are to be rewarded as wards of society
. Entitlement will replace effort as the key to upward mobility in American
society if Barack Obama gets his way. He seeks a lowest common denominator
society in which the government besieges the successful and productive to
foster equality through mediocrity. He and his party speak of two Americas ,
and their grip on power is based on using the votes of one to sap the
productivity of the other. America is not divided by the differences in our
outcomes, it is divided by the differences in our efforts.
It is a false philosophy to say one man's success comes about unavoidably as
the result of another man's victimization.
What Obama offered was not a solution, but a separatism. He fomented
division and strife, pitted one set of Americans against another for his own
political benefit. That's what socialists offer. Marxist class warfare
wrapped up with a bow. Two Americas , coming closer each day to proving the
truth to Lincoln 's maxim that a house divided against itself cannot stand.
"Life is ten percent what happens to you and ninety percent how you respond
to it."

have been very successful because they take full advantage of human nature,
which includes laziness and greediness. A healthy society should promote
against laziness and greediness which are rooted in our blood, instead,
Obama awards people's laziness and greediness. 主党的这个策略不会变，因为他
们的眼里只有选票，没有国家。真心不希望美国衰落下去，但是人口结构的巨变注定了
美国正驰骋在衰败的大道上。当所有人都意识到国家没有钱无以为继继续promise free
stuff时已经太晚了，就如同温水煮青蛙，到时已经没有丝毫战斗力了。美国的衰败以
911为界碑，以民主党的自私和贪婪做巨大推力，以人口结构的改变为基础，最终是在
内部瓦解。从来不是中国，或者俄国拖垮了美国，是美国的自作孽不可活。 | g********2
