They are coming for our money.
I am sitting here writing this as I watch the astronauts and control center people prepare the shuttle for her decent in to earth. As I write this astronauts are focusing their cameras on the ocean surface monitoring the storm near Texas.
It looks awesome. These astronauts sure are lucky.
However, the space program is not what I will be writing about today.
It seems the democratic candidates were at it again. Somewhere there was a gathering of democratic presidential hopefuls.
I have criticized the democrats for thinking that they can legislate everything and solve all presumed social ills with lots of our money.
I say presumed social ills because the USA is not in an economic crisis. Ninety five percent of people who want to work are working. This is what a five percent unemployment rate means.
Only thirteen percent of people in America are bellow the 19,000 a year salary, which is the poverty guideline. The other 87 percent are doing very well.
The treasury continues to receive high tax revenue. The economy has not stopped growing since Bush has been in office. Every month about 100, 000 new jobs are created by the private industry.
I will not mention the minimum wage because it will cost low-income employees more than it will help them.
However, regardless of all the good economic news, the democrats are trying to paint the picture of a country in economic turmoil and social-economic injustices.
Today on a radio news show I was listening to I heard old Ms Clinton say that if you listen to republicans you hear that in America your on your own, like that is a bad thing. She goes on to say that America needs to be a unified country were we all help each other.
I think two weeks ago I heard Clinton respond “Yes” when she was asked if the tax code should be used to balance economic disparity. Basically the question she was asked was asking if the taxes collected from the rich should be given to poor so they wont so poor. Again, I state that she responded yes.
Edwards and Obama also went on at this gathering for democratic hopefuls about respecting labor and creating educational opportunities for the country. Again, what country are these democrats living in today? From were I sit USA economic growth is spectacular.
If you are not reaping in these rewards, is it because of government interference in your life or your poor money management and your bad personal choices?
I think if you have gathered some success in life, you had better watch out for these Robin Hood democrat politicians.
My personal view is that work is healthy. We are personally responsible for our lives. Success comes from knowing were you want to go and putting forth the energy to get there.
All politicians can do is lie to you. We are always better off when we are the ones in control of our lives.
In addition, no one deserves a free ride.
