Equality the Secular Left’s New Found Religion

The Dumbing down of America

The doctrine of equality that now flies as a banner of the liberal left, to be forced upon America by policies of Obama, Pelosi and Reed will not bring progress but stop it dead in its tracks.   Punitive government policies of taxation of a specific class, allowing equality of citizenship to illegal aliens, socialized  medicine, all endeavor to equalize men, there by inculcating society to follow prescribed standards.  These policies will bring death to progress and not economic recovery.

Throughout history progress and the growth of great societies have occurred by a desire of men for inequality.   A nation of laws must stand for all men being equal, but without the possibility of inequality in civilization, a people continue but under a subsistence standard of living, as defined by government.  Inequality and the benefit of a flourishing capitalism in America, to allow men of superior ability, talent and ambition to utilize their gifts to the fullest, brought upon this nation the greatest wealth a civilized country has ever accomplished in world history

We hear Politicians proclaim America’s economic fundamentals are strong, a new Obama theme, albeit one that he used to vilify his rival McCain as pure stupidity, in the recent campaign for the White House. Obama was right and now he is wrong.  Today’s fundamentals are worse than 1929.  The massive trillion dollar debt continues to accumulate, government spending at an all time high, the US no longer the fastest growing economy, 20 years of consistent trade deficits with other nations, debt among local and state governments with eleven states near bankruptcy, public and corporate debt are at all time highs. The fundamentals that have allowed this toxic spending to occur is at fault.

To keep government programs afloat and at full employment, new creative taxes are on the rise at all levels of government.  With Obama’s cap and trade program creating a further burden on business and driving businesses away from our shores, those that stay will have to increase their cost of manufacturing to maintain operation.  America will lose its ability to compete on a global scale.  With the Obama-Pelosi-Reed tax increases just passed, taxpayers with the ability to create jobs and wealth will be severely penalized through targeted taxation for the first time in American history.  This redistribution of wealth to promote a new social order will occur, while Americans have more taken from them and spent by all levels of US government than the combined nations of the world.

Fundamentals can be synthesized down to one simple formula, the debt to income ratio.  If a Nation, and a people have to cover more debt than their income can produce, their fundamentals are in bad shape.  It is shameful for the current liberal administration to extend the nation’s debt, increase the nation’s taxes, nationalize financial institutions, and push a social agenda of equality, while telling Americans that the fundamentals are good.  Worse yet is a Congress and a people so brainwashed by perception and the unreality of TV shows that they are dumbed down to believe it.  Americans are losing their jobs, their homes, their retirement and believe Obama when he says the fundamentals are good?  Are Americans unable to draw a distinction between their own experience and a spoonful of lies?

This blind following of leaders into chains of mediocrity, even by those of superior ability like Warren Buffet, believing in the policies of Obama is completely stupefying.   Buffet a man of superior ability,  who has devised methods to amass a financial fortune, did not do so because of programs of equality, he used his unique ability to create this wealth.  Yet for a man such as this to endorse government programs that diminish the production of incentives to encourage ability among the American public, is like a man looking in a mirror and seeing someone else’s face.

George Soros, on the other hand is another man of exceptional ability.  He has managed to use his income to acquire a nation by placing Obama in the president’s chair through funding his successful campaign.  Soros who made his wealth betting on currency markets will now be able to amass even a greater fortune by knowing what the socialist programs will do to the value of other nation’s currencies and the coming wave of hyperinflation.  Soros put the fox in the hen house knowing the attributes, talents and abilities of the fox.  He will bet on the fox!

America’s governmental targeting of the brightest financial minds via the 90% taxation of bonuses to AIG executives will cause those minds with great ability to leave for employment elsewhere. Other countries are more than happy to acquire these minds, considering America has the best financial and technical minds in the world.  A four more years of this punitive social reordering by Congress and the President will be as ruinous to the economy as the pretended “good economic foundation” is to those who believe its perpetrators.

When the alcoholic hits bottom, he comes to a realization that to have one more drink will kill him and that this drinking has brought about his own downfall.  Government booze from the new welfare state of America is making many Americans believe that more programs will bring them the prosperity they desire without the fruits of their own efforts.  When Americans wake up from this stupor let us hope they will see clearly enough to elect people of principal with a track record of honesty.  Americans will have to learn to see through an opaque media to find the truth from their new principled conviction, that is if a majority can get off the booze at the same time.
