How are republicans going to protect people's success?
Published on October 10, 2007 By jesseledesma In Politics
Today, I will be talking about how politicians have pitted the poor against the rich. During the flower love, drug/alcohol, and all the free sex you can get your hands on seventies those against Vietman justified their objection by pointing to all the precieved problems in America.

Since then democrats have placated the poor and supporters of the poor to get votes. Republicans who do not want to be labeled insensitive to the plight of the poor sometimes also placate the "politics of poverty".

With continues news stories about the poor and underprivilaged from the liberal news the average American has become conditioned to the perceptions that the poor are many and represent a crisis in America.

It is a shame that in the wealthiest country in America children are starving. However, who brought these children to life and what are these parents doing to aleviate their poverty.

I cannot stay home and cry about my troubles. The only way I can make money is by working. I think this applies for everyone. However, news and politicians started brainwashing people with the "politics of poverty" a lomg time ago.

This was the time of looking at the criminals cricumstances as influencing behavior. Now, I know that there a are drug addicts, people playing with sex and creating babies they do not want, lazy people, and people who live by defrauding social programs.

I, however, do not believe that these actions are the result of the successful people in America. How can people achieving personal success endanger the so-called poor?

We all make decisions every day in our lives and conditions we find ourselves in are the direct result of our decisions. Dropping out of school, abusing drugs, getting pregnant young, not going to college, and fighting with every employer are not the way to achieve personal success.

Having studied psychology formally, I know the environmental contributions to a person's behavior. What gets me is that we do not have to give in to the voices in our heads.

In addition, I am more bothered by politicians paying so much attention to the poor. Maybe so many people refuse to vote because polticians are not speaking to them. People are succeeding and politicians running around yelling "the sky is falling. the sky is falling."

I want to know from the republican candidates for president how they are going to protect people's success. I also want to know how they are going to continue the war on terrorism.

I see an America with a very prosporous economy. However, democrat and republican alike sound like America is in her worst economic crisis ever in her history.

To fight the challenges that are coming America has to be strong financially. Private citizens dedicated to their own personal success make countries financially successfull.

I would like democrats to name one successful Socialist State. I don't know of any. Therefore, why do democrats want to start messing with people's wealth and private business'.

The perception that there are economic challenges for some Americans is true. However, the solution is not to punish the successful.

Seems to me you want to help people who are productive continue to be successfull.

If there is a critical challenge for the Ameican government it is to not interfer with the progress and productivity of those who want to succeed.

Then you have Iraq, immigration, polution/contamination, education, and terrorism. Demanding 87 pecent of hard working successfull people to hand over their wealth and jeapordize the American economy so lazzy and unmotivated 13 percent of individuals can have their dependency on governemnt fed cannot be right.

You made some good points. How can people achieving personal success hurt the poor? I also want to know what the Republican party is doing to protect people's personal successes.

because the US uses a different method than the rest of the world to determine who died at birth and who didn't.

Okay I was talking about protecting success in America and some you folks went down a strange direction. However, everyday I see families who are homeless and who do not have anything to eat.

I think that democrats ideals poisons people's brains and they forget their own personal skills. I was once walking around with a confused head.

Thank God I didn't let it lead me to homelessess or poverty. If there is a shelter that needs to be built it is one that feeds the soul and inspires.

Oh wait that would be a Christian church.
