Our Government

I would like to pose a question to all who read my blog. Does the government have the right, to take more from the wealthy, less from the poor, and redistribute it? My question is very simple. As it currently stands, the top 5% of earners in this country, pay well over 50% of the taxes. Yes, over half of our tax revenue, is paid by 5% of the citizenry. The remaining 95% of us, pay less then half of the taxes collected. What that means, is that the rich are supporting the poor, at an abnormally high rate. This flies in the face of the Democratic manifesto, which falsely claims that the poor are over taxed, and the rich pay less then their fair share. It makes it quite clear, that the aims of the liberal Democratic party, are to eventually make 100% of tax revenue come from the top 5% of earners, so that 95% of us can live off of them. This is known as the redistribution of wealth. It was a mythical method of governing, that lead to the eventual downfall of the Soviet Union, and has been disproved over and over throughout history.

The poor in this nation, are poor for many different reasons. Some are poor by choice, others are poor by chance, and others are poor by their own misfortunes, but no matter why they are poor, they still lack the ability to pay for necessities. I will never say that any person should be turned away from sources of food, water, basic medical care, and possibly basic shelter needs, but they must help provide for themselves. Welfare programs have long issued checks to the the laziest, breeding factories, that have ever lived. Women and men, who suckle on the public tit, and make no effort to turn their lives around. They would breed and breed, and use the children to increase their income. Many efforts have been made to stop such abuses, but have been stopped by liberal congressmen, usually minorities who do not wish to see their own people hurt by taking away their checks. It is not the responsibility of the government, to provide for the upkeep of the people. This government's responsibilities are to provide for the defense of our nation, to protect the freedoms which allow us to make or break our own lives, and protect us from those who wish to unjustly take from us. Since the '60's, this nation has slipped into a liberal delirium, broken only briefly by the eight years of Ronald Reagan's Presidency. We have given up our freedoms, in return for social programs. We gave up a bit of freedom for Medicare, and a bit more for Social Security in the 1930's. We gave up a bit more for Welfare, and a little more for each social program which takes away responsibility, and gives us a check in its place.

The bottom line, is that no clause in our Constitution, and no law in our land, can make the socialization of America, right or just. No act of Congress, no resolution to be passed, can make it right to tax one group more per capita, based upon their wealth. The rich owe taxes, just as we do, and they pay their fair share, PLUS SOME. I hold no malice toward the wealthy. They hold a position that I dream of attaining, and when, and if, I attain my dream, I do not want the government stepping in to redistribute my hard earned wealth. What the poor do not understand, is if they ever get out of poverty, and become rich, they to, will lose a lot of it to the government, and I'm sure, they will dislike that idea.
