Univeral healthcare, not what we need!

You see the Government is currently telling you that millions of people are in crisis because they don’t have healthcare. Yet how many more millions are in crisis because they can’t get to work in a reliable care? An individual without a reliable car has an increased chance of losing their jobs, costing them and the economy more than can be estimated by my humble means. But if they had a new car (say from a government owned car company), they could make it to work and have a better chance of succeeding at their jobs and the bosses would lose less money. This would also put more money into the pocket of the individual and allow them to pay for that healthcare that they so easily claim is a human right.
The truth is I don’t think the government should give anyone a car or universal healthcare.
I think that government should stop being so wasteful with our tax dollars that they have to take more, claiming that because people can’t afford health insurance they will pay for it with yet still more taxes. The problem is that it is a vicious cycle of government taking more of the individual’s money through taxes, then offering help because of the lack of money due to over taxation.
If you turn on the light it’s them in your house, look at every bill and you will see that government has its hands deep in your pockets, we are overburdened with taxes preventing success, and they are in your way.
What does this government do? It over taxes but offers more entitlements yet because of this people can’t afford things in their life like healthinsurance.
What is the answer? Well there is a big movement called the Tea Party or you can work at your own level by writing you elected officials. Tell them this simple message, stay out of our homes, stay out of our pocket and stay out of our way. We will fix America!

Am I my brothers keeper?

In all my life I have been taught that team work is important to success, be it sports or work. We are taught this from the very beginning of our life and we teach it to our children as soon as they can, why is it then that we punish the individual and not the whole team when someone does wrong.
This shows the fault of the collective or team mentality, why in the long run it won’t work.
It is the individual who makes things happen, when each individual achieves or strives to achieve their best the team or collective is then rewarded, but because you can not force those who wish to put less effort into things to perform their best the team or collective concept cannot be forced to work. No individual has ever failed who put forth their best effort, regardless of the results, because of this philosophy we cannot be our brother’s keeper, because when we choose as an individual to let the actions of others take control of us, the choice to give our best for ourselves is pointless and watered down.
If and when I make the conscience choice to help I do it because I benefit in some way. Helping kids in the community helps me in that there is a better chance of lower crime rate. Yet giving my money or food to others out of charity doesn’t help me as an individual at all. People will say but how can you stand by and does nothing as others fail? I say easy, I am giving them the motivation to do something to succeed because as long as they can take from me they have no need to succeed on their own.
More will say, but what about the infirm or those who are of a mental defect that doesn’t allow them to succeed. This is the most difficult point for an individual with a heart, yet I think that if someone is infirm and tries to do their best then it will benefit me to help because we can both get something from each other.
Yet if they are infirm and sit home and say feed me, help me, or do for me, I say turn a blind eye!
The only ones who should be assisted are the mentally ill that can do nothing what so ever, to those I say you will have my assistance. Because you truly have no choice to help, this brother I will keep.
It is the individual not the team, it is the individual not my brother, it is the individual not my country that must be first to succeed. And when we realize it’s because of the individual, then my brother, team, country and all can be great.

A please and thank you mob.

I spoke at the Crystal River Tea Party (9-12-09) and have to say I was so pleased by the type of people that showed.
People of all ages showed, people of all financial status showed (O.K. Bill Gates never made it), the one thing about this group that would be called a mob by is that everyone said please and thank you.
This group of Tea Party supporters is indicative of the average American. Food was brought to the event by individuals in support of individuals in need, support by individuals not the government is what many of the Tea Party thinks and wants.
They stayed in the rain to hear people speak, they never booed or complained. None of the speakers or supporters asked for the government to give them anything. Unlike those in opposition who showed up holding signs (very nice mass produced signs, wonder who is getting support and who is the grassroots) that asked for big business to pay their fair share. The opposition who wants the government to use its ability to take from us, by making it sound like big business will just pay more in taxes, when the truth is that business’ just get more out of our pocket and pass it to government.
The people at the Tea Party stand for freedom and they support the individual as the answer, not the collective of government.
The Tea Party supporters know that many have sat still too long, while our freedoms are slowly being suppressed. The average American who makes up the Tea Party are now awake and ready to step up and be heard, the march on Washington was a call to end the expansion of government. This march was a protest march that was in a size not seen before and even thought they packed the streets you don’t hear stories about rowdy protesters, passionate statements but no violence. See what happens when a pro-America, freedom loving mob gets together, it becomes a please and thank you mob!
A special thanks to Edna, great job!
