Everything I do in some way effects others people's life.
If I spend my time spewing negative garabage I encourage the vile stench of humanity that pratices hatred and destruction.
If I praise God, marriage, monogomy, fidelity, friendship, hard work and sacrafice, personal determination, personal responsibilty, family, positive and loving parenting, and all good values and ideas then I am contributing to a better society.
Government by leaving the business of business in the hands of private citizens encourages investment and economic growth.
When polticians start trying to tax everyone to death to pay for social programs they interfere in economic growth and personal accomplishment.
If you had kids would you tell them to aspire to be shackeled to government hand outs. Maybe you would espouse the values of alcohol and drug addiction. How about sex for the sake of sex no matter how many children you have to raise without a father?
Yes, everyday we can become victims of political rhetoric that makes us weak and unable to answer for ourselves. We also have the opportunity to recognize our potential and reach for our dreams.
What value has a dream. What price for what a man holds near and dear to his heart? Has not a dream brought a many out of the poor neighborhood and into a good home. "But wait" they say. "Money is not the measure of success". Yes critics can find a lot to criticize.
However, who are we? Are we people working hard to build a good life for ourselves? Do we even understand the parameters that make a good life?
Maybe we just think that we are in charge of our lives and we can do anything we want. Every criminal thinks he is in charge of his or her life and he or she can do what they want. The same goes for drug users and pregnant teens.
However, who pays the medical bills? I have not made anyone pregnant, yet I have to pay for people's Earn Income Credit. Not to mention, I and all tax payers pay for prisons, courts, cops, drug counselors, rehabilitation centers, and everything that is necessary for all the people who are to selfish to control their behavior and burden us with their problems.
Maybe a better question is what is different between them and us. Don't we all have a brain to know right from wrong? Have we not a sense of our dreams. Do we not know that these dreams can only come through if we work at making them real?
Is life hard? Of course it is! However, giving in to desires brought about by needs unanswered by our loves one is not the answer.
What crack addict has fulfilled his or her dreams of becoming a doctor? Who has found true peace and joy in decadent sex?
Okay! Okay! I hear you. We can not change people who do not want to change. However, should we be feeding their perverted desries?
Better yet! What becomes of our dreams, hopes, ambitions, and desires when all our money if locked up in taxes for social programs.
Somewhere down the line there has to be personal accountabiltiy. If you won't respect me, why should I fund your sin?
I think it is best that we all get a handle on our lives and stop burdenning our neighbors with our weakness and gloutiness indulgence to quel our decadent thirst and hunger.
