There is also the America that kills babies in the womb and the America that loves babies in the womb. I would rather pay a woman to not kill her baby than pay to have little him or her offered to satan as a human blood sacrifice by the high priest of death, abortionist.
It won’t.
Taking away these freedoms has failed everywhere it's been tried, whether in a community, a country, or a continent.
A government big enough to give everyone “free Obamacare” is big enough to tell everyone what size BigGulp and meals that might affect their health they are allowed to have.
A government big enough to redistribute the wealth from those much richer than me is also big enough to redistribute my wealth, and with the government-encouraged flood of millions of illegals, big enough to take money from every working American to give to those poor illegal aliens and to parasitic legal residents.
A government big enough to redefine marriage nationwide, against the will of voters and even against the constitutions of many states is big enough to start telling people who to marry and how many children they are permitted/required to have.
A government big enough to compel a florist/baker/photographer to service others in violation of deeply-held religious beliefs is big enough to compel everyone to work at the jobs chosen for them by FedGov according to their abilities and for the wages allocated to each according to their needs.
I prefer freedom, which is why I reject Obama and his policies.
That's only half the story. He didn't mention that its the Obama world that made the other guy rich in the first place - because that guy is able to game the many government rules, is an insider, and protects and promotes the redistributionist system.
When I finished HS and started to work, I was aware TOO that there was income inequality.
I decided I didn’t like it and that to get a better job, I’d have to struggle.
ALSO I was real clear that there was going to be NO fun for the next few years while I went to college. All my friends (not going to college) were out having a ball and going on with their lives.
I started school and made sure that:
1.) I didn’t get pregnant
2.) Didn’t get involved with drugs
3.) Took jobs, (awful, low paying jobs) sometimes 2 or 3 part time jobs at the same time ... WHILE a student
4.) Didn’t get lazy and give up so society could take care of me
Those are the decisions and the choices I had to make and STICK TO in order to qualify for better paying work.
I am no millionaire, but I am loads better off than if I didn’t work and ‘do without’ for several years.
THIS is Obama's legacy: able-bodied, working people who CAN'T contribute to society—they simply don't make enough money.
And these aren't just thirty-somethings supporting a family who make a career in minimum-wage jobs; these are people marginally attached to the work-force, having been employed previously in skilled work, but taking any and all available jobs after getting laid off from same.
My dad worked in manufacturing in the 90s and early 00s—Nafta, the influx of illegal immigrants, other forms of cheap labour, and outsourcing of manufacturing jobs have conspired to work low-wage, unskilled jobs at restaurants. (On illegal immigration: can't stand them. He understands that the whole lot of them are utterly unskilled, with the attendant problems that stem from this)
He was non-union: he ABHORS trade unions—if you think they're bad enough here, they're even worse south of the border!
0bama to Joe the Plumber: Everyone should “trickle up”
You trickle up from dirt.
