The Government will Fix Everything - just like they always have

I'm not wealthy but the wealthy have always provided me and everyone else with a job. I like my job and my wealthy boss. Also the more wealthy people there are providing jobs the better off the rest of us are that are not wealthy. Let's stop hurting the wealthy because we want a hand out rather than going to work. Get up and be American, work for the betterment of your life. Don't ask the government to do it for you. Congratulate those that have great success - not tear them down. I work very hard and have a plan to be successful and if I make it no one will have the right to say I didn't earn it or that I have to give some of it to others simply because they want it and they think I have too much. In a capitalist society each person can create their own wealth. There is no limit on how many people can be wealthy. Wealth does not need to be distributed out and never should be. Hurting the wealthy will only dry up their resources for the jobs they provide, and to produce new and better products for us all to enjoy and to make them unable to afford the many charities they do. If you think the government will be able to do these things in-place of the wealthy and make all our lives better you are ignorant to the realities that are around you every day.

  • The government has forced retirement planning on all of us as a program called social security. That plan is going bankrupt and, on its own, never did provide enough for anyone to live on. But it sure is a big chunk of money out of each paycheck - Thanks for the "great plan" government.
  • The government has forced us all to pay into Medicare and that program is going bankrupt and never really was much of an insurance plan because after you die your home, estate, and savings are all taken by the government leaving nothing for your loved ones - Thanks for the "great plan" government.
  • The government has recently spent over $1 trillion dollars to spur the economy. What's the big news? The $1 billion for Cash for Clunkers actually worked and increased car sales. Where is the rest of the money? Are they really unable to do better than that? That is a huge failure rate. - Thanks for the "great plan" government.
  • The government can't figure out how to secure our country from illegal immigration. We've all heard the many plans and billions spent to fix this problem. Is anything different? NO. - Thanks for the "great plans" government.

Here is a great idea. Let's turn our health care over to the government. I'm sure after completely failing on so many levels with so many other things they'll get this one right. We'll let's call a spade a spade. The government needs to do their job not everyone else's jobs. Government get out of my wallet, out of my home, out of my medical decisions, out of retirement, out - out - out.

There is no doubt government has a roll but when government reaches out of that roll it hurts us all, even the poor. The bigger government gets the less American our country becomes.
