Elizabeth Warren is the special advisor for the US Consumer Financial Protection Bureau running for senate against Scott Brown in Massachusetts in next year’s election. She was also the first chairman of the Congressional Oversight Panel, appointed by Harry Reid. She is the one who approved TARP, so you can see she has a good track record.
Here she is saying that nobody got rich on their own. She claims that rich people use the roads, school systems, and police that everyone pays for (oh wait except for half of the country who don’t pay income taxes). Elizabeth Warren
So my question to her is; “How the hell did anyone become rich before this country had roads, or a police force, or school systems?”
Socialists will come right out and let you know who they are. You just have to be adept and alert enough to peg them. Their arguments are petty; based on emotion, greed, and jealousy of people who work hard. It drags the country down by letting those with less believe that success comes from the government instead of their own hard work.
What does this teach a person? It’s like going to the store with your child and buying them every single thing they ask for. They never learn the incentive of hard work to achieve success. They expect success to be given to them.
For some reason – well I know how its become this way, but that’s for a different time – this country has developed this, entitlement disease. People expect that since we are a prosperous nation that every single person in the country deserves health care, a good job, benefits, a pay raise every couple of years, a good home, good food, etc.. Somebody please tell me where in the Constitution you are guaranteed those rights?
You are secured the right to life and liberty by our creator; other than that you are on your own – in other words, it is up to you to keep it. It is up to you to become skilled, educated, efficient, and prosperous. If you want to be lazy and a bum, then go ahead, its your choice. That’s the great thing about America; you have the freedom to choose.
The BEST evidence of this is our ancestors; they came over here for that opportunity and freedom. They left their homelands behind because of oppressive, handout, entitlement governments. This is why our country is the greatest on Earth and a beacon of hope for every person on this planet.
Ben Franklin was asked by someone right after the signing of the Constitution about what kind of government we were given. He replied, “…a Republic, if you can keep it.”
We have become those very people who our ancestors struggled and many risked their lives to escape. We are not keeping our end of the bargain.
