The Democrats are right, there are two Americas. The America that works and the America that doesnt. The America that contributes and the America that doesnt. Its not the haves and the have nots, its the dos and the donts. Some people do their duty as Americans, obey the law, support themselves, contribute to society and others dont. Thats the divide in America .
Its not about income ine******y, its about civic irresponsibility. Its about a political party that preaches hatred, greed and victimization in order to win elective office. Its about a political party that loves power more than it loves its country.
Thats not invective, thats t***h, and its about time someone said it.
The politics of envy was on proud display a couple weeks ago when President Obama pledged the rest of his term to fighting income ine******y. He noted that some people make more than other people, that some people have higher incomes than others, and he says thats not just. That is the rationale of thievery.
The other guy has it, you want it, Obama will take it for you. V**e Democrat. That is the philosophy that produced Detroit.
It is the e*******l philosophy that is destroying America. It conceals a fundamental deviation from American values and common sense because it ends up not benefiting the people who support it, but a betrayal.
The Democrats have not empowered their followers, they have ens***ed them in a culture of dependence and entitlement, of victim-hood and anger instead of ability and hope. The presidents premise that you reduce income ine******y by debasing the successfulseeks to deny the successful the consequences of their choices and spare the unsuccessful the consequences of their choices. Because, by and large, income variations in society are a result of different choices leading to different consequences.
Those who choose wisely and responsibly have a far greater likelihood of success, while those who choose foolishly and irresponsibly have a far greater likelihood of failure.
Success and failure usually manifest themselves in personal and family income. You choose to drop out of high school or to skip college and you are apt to have a different outcome than someone who gets a diploma and pushes on with purposeful education.
You have your children out of wedlock and life is apt to take one course; you have them within a marriage and life is apt to take another course. Most often in life our destination is determined by the course we take.
My doctor, for example, makes far more than I do. There is significant income ine******y between us. Our lives have had an ine******y of outcome, but, our lives also have had an in e******y of effort. While my doctor went to college and then dev**ed his young adulthood to medical school and residency, I got a job in a restaurant. He made a choice, I made a choice, and our choices led us to different outcomes. His outcome pays a lot better than mine. Does that mean he c***ted and Barack Obama needs to take away his wealth? No, it means we are both free men in a free society where free choices lead to different outcomes.
It is not ine******y Barack Obama intends to take away, it is freedom. The freedom to succeed, and the freedom to fail. There is no true option for success if there is no true option for failure. The pursuit of happiness means a whole lot less when you face the punitive hand of government if your pursuit brings you more happiness than the other guy. Even if the other guy sat on his arse and did nothing. Even if the other guy made a lifetimes worth of asinine and short sighted decisions.
Barack Obama and the Democrats preach e******y of outcome as a right, while completely ignoring ine******y of effort.
The simple Law of the Harvest as ye sow, so shall ye reap is sometimes applied as, The harder you work, the more you get.
Obama would turn that upside down. Those who achieve are to be punished as enemies of society and those who fail are to be rewarded as wards of society. Entitlement will replace effort as the key to upward mobility in American society if Barack Obama gets his way. He seeks a lowest common denominator society in which the government besieges the successful and productive to foster e******y through mediocrity. He and his party speak of two Americas, and their grip on power is based on using the v**es of one to sap the productivity of the other. America is not divided by the differences in our outcomes, it is divided by the differences in our efforts.
It is a false philosophy to say one mans success comes about unavoidably as the result of another mans victimization.
What Obama offered was not a solution, but a separatism. He fomented division and strife, pitted one set of Americans against another for his own political benefit. Thats what socialists offer. Marxist class warfare wrapped up with a bow. Two Americas, coming closer each day to proving the t***h to Lincolns maxim that a house divided against itself cannot stand.
Life is ten percent what happens to you and ninety percent how you respond to it.

LounHoltz is 100% correct.
It's doesn't matter what party one is from. Each one has it's adgenda, but the Dem's have run on such a false pretense, it hard to believe, that they have such a large following. Look at top 10 Major cities, in USA, that are failing; they all have one thing in common. Run by Democrat's.
Look at the States now run by Democrat's, running employers and business out of there states, by over taxing & crazy regulations, making it impossible to keep afloat.
California, is a great example. Once the bread basket of the world, education the best in the nation, growing economy, housing market booming. Now it is in the Red. Billion of dollars in debt, business leaving, going out of business, no new ones opening due to ridiculous regulations. Farmers restricted by EPA, to no end, family losing farms that have being in family for generations, no water.
Unemployment, way over board, schools at dismal levels. Sales taxes higher than any other state.
Yet what do we get, in return. Governor who embraces I******s, just printed 3 million new drivers licenses, specifically for them. Invited more to come to our state, welcomed to get on government dole, free medical, food stamps, low income housing, beside flooding and lowering our education system, taking away jobs. Not just low level jobs, but blue and white collar jobs besides, $30.00 and up, with unemployment at an all time high.
We are also in a drought, housing shortage, growing debt, all i******s contributing nothing, but Governor Brown doesn't care, for it will insure a democrat majority.
Wake up! It affects all of us, not only in California, but nationwide. Your v**e counts for something now, but I wouldn't count on it in the future.

You have your children out of wedlock and life is apt to take one course; you have them within a marriage and life is apt to take another course. Most often in life our destination is determined by the course we take.
My doctor, for example, makes far more than I do. There is significant income ine******y between us. Our lives have had an ine******y of outcome, but, our lives also have had an in e******y of effort. While my doctor went to college and then dev**ed his young adulthood to medical school and residency, I got a job in a restaurant. He made a choice, I made a choice, and our choices led us to different outcomes. His outcome pays a lot better than mine. Does that mean he c***ted and Barack Obama needs to take away his wealth? No, it means we are both free men in a free society where free choices lead to different outcomes.
It is not ine******y Barack Obama intends to take away, it is freedom. The freedom to succeed, and the freedom to fail. There is no true option for success if there is no true option for failure. The pursuit of happiness means a whole lot less when you face the punitive hand of government if your pursuit brings you more happiness than the other guy. Even if the other guy sat on his arse and did nothing. Even if the other guy made a lifetimes worth of asinine and short sighted decisions.
Barack Obama and the Democrats preach e******y of outcome as a right, while completely ignoring ine******y of effort.
The simple Law of the Harvest as ye sow, so shall ye reap is sometimes applied as, The harder you work, the more you get.
Obama would turn that upside down. Those who achieve are to be punished as enemies of society and those who fail are to be rewarded as wards of society. Entitlement will replace effort as the key to upward mobility in American society if Barack Obama gets his way. He seeks a lowest common denominator society in which the government besieges the successful and productive to foster e******y through mediocrity. He and his party speak of two Americas, and their grip on power is based on using the v**es of one to sap the productivity of the other. America is not divided by the differences in our outcomes, it is divided by the differences in our efforts.
It is a false philosophy to say one mans success comes about unavoidably as the result of another mans victimization.
What Obama offered was not a solution, but a separatism. He fomented division and strife, pitted one set of Americans against another for his own political benefit. Thats what socialists offer. Marxist class warfare wrapped up with a bow. Two Americas, coming closer each day to proving the t***h to Lincolns maxim that a house divided against itself cannot stand.
Life is ten percent what happens to you and ninety percent how you respond to it.

I watched this one to see if anyone in the forum from the whacko left ever posted to it. Obviously, they couldn.t refute anything said by Holtz.

I wish I was an eloquent speaker, cuz that's exactly what I would have to say!!! Thank you for sharing this most excellent article.
Oddly enough I didn't put this post up. Although I agree with it, I'm not sure how my name got put as the poster to this. I've also seen some others on the forum lately complaining about the same thing. Does anyone know how some else uses someone name to post?
