We are now The Land of the Free Stuff

We hired all these people into government jobs and they feel like they have to do something. So, they go out and mess with businesses.
We need to develop a GOVERNMENT TO PRIVATE SECTOR JOB TRANSFER PROGRAM. A private sector employer takes a government employee at the same pay and benefits that the employee had with the government. The private sector employer, within reason, has to keep the government employee for a minimum of five years. The position the government employee leaves is eliminated. As the government payroll declines, the taxes on the private sector declines. The private sector then has more money, and perhaps they hire more employees. We have to reduce the government payroll and we have to find ways to do it that don’t scare the crap out of the government employees.

The change in attitude was greatly aided when the democrats/liberals/socialists successfully replaced the term “Free Enterprise” with “Capitalism” in common useage.

For many years they have been quite successful in advancing their leftist agenda through manipulation of the language.

Remember when “Gay” meant happy and carefree instead of pervert?

Look how they coined the terms “Pro Choice” and
“Women’s reproductive rights” to disguise the killing of a living being by abortion.

This is what the communist Democratic Party has been working on for many many years. With the election of King Obama their vision of a trash can called America was started in full swing. We had a chance to reverse some of the damage but thousands of Republicans worked their stupidity and refuse to vote for Romney. America is finished and will probably never have a chance to be great again. We are lawed to death and our economy has been reduced to such a dangerous low lever only a real successful business type of a President could start reverse.

I am experiencing this lack of freedom and bureaucratic red tape currently. We are wanting to build a house on some acreage we bought 13 years ago. To make a very long story short, we had to hire a former planning director to help us weave our way through all the red tape at the county planning office. 3 years later and 8500, plus another $840 for septic approval, $6500 for a well, $2000 for a survey, thousands more for a rocked engineered, not too steep, driveway and we are almost ready to break ground.
