No End to What Government Can Do

It would seem the progressives we currently have in government who were mostly brought up on communist ideals in our progressive schools believe there is nothing that government can’t take care of as well as nothing that is off limits to our government. They do not believe in limited government at all. Were they to believe in that it would mean that they also believed in limits to their power and they certainly don’t want that! They are so full of themselves that they believe they always know better than you what is best for you. They believe they need to micro manage our economy. After all you certainly can’t leave that to greed business men who are only out for themselves. Just because these companies employ large numbers of people doesn’t mean anything. They behave as though the only one that benefits from such a situation is the owner of the company. They equally behave as though such owners are little more than slavers. Nothing could be further from the truth, but this is how demonization works.

We need to realize just how full of themselves many of these leaders have become. They must laugh together when they are in private discuss their horrible ratings as they continually get voted back in office. These men and women have come to expect no matter what they do and no matter how bad it is that they will still get voted back into office because the American people are either too stupid or too afraid to vote them out. They behave as though they are the only ones that are still keeping this country afloat, when in reality our current demise is because of them.

They try to sell us the lie that the citizens of this nation are the cause for all our problems. Oh not all of them only the really rich ones. Certainly the takers of society that offer nothing and just sponge off the rest of us aren’t to blame. After all don’t we have a responsibility to take care of them? Especially, they would have us believe the rich have an obligation to take care of them, because as the narrative goes, the rich are the ones that made them poor. Certainly the government is not to blame for this. Their intentions are nothing but the best.

We must understand with progressives and all too often with democrats at least the ones we have in government right now, intentions are more important than outcomes. This is much the same where sports are concerned with the politically correct. The excellence of performance is not what’s important, only that you feel good that you tried or that you wanted to win. Only in government and the politically correct crowd does this mentality make any sense at all.

I wonder sometimes how we can break free of this odd mentality. How do we make it clear that outcomes matter? How do we build personal responsibility back into our society? We are now taught that we are our brothers’ keepers to such an extreme that people feel they are no longer responsible for themselves.

For some reason Obama and his ilk seem convinced that government can do things better than individuals and that they know better both in general and in specific what you need better than you do. Because they certainly can’t know what every individual does or what every individual has they of course have to rely on what can only be called a one size fits all mentality. This in itself shows that they cannot know better what you need than you do. They cannot know every specific of your situation or your needs. Not the greatest program or the fastest computer in the world could possibly make those judgments for every person in the country.

Pelosi, Reid, Obama, and the rest of the progressives do not really believe it either, it is simply a mean of manipulation and an urge to gain as much power over the lives of others as they can. The nation is falling apart and yet still, like the global warming alarmists they insist that only they can fix the problem and that you need to do what they say. Give them everything you have. Give them everything you make, and they will manage it in such a way that everyone will be better off.

Now the question that of course is always avoided is how can the person having his stuff taken be better off than he was before it was taken. If you are only going after the rich then again how can they be better off? So again we have snake oil salesmen trying to tell us that they can do a better job with our money than we can.

Now who doesn’t aspire to be wealthy and at least well off? Certainly our government leaders do, for most if not all of them are millionaires, and again most if not all of them have become even wealthier by using their positions of power. But who will want to be well off if you know that means you’re going to be targeted by the government because you have too much.

You might wonder why they would pass laws that would equally target them? The reason is simple. They don’t. Congress always exempts them from every law they pass. After all they’re not idiots even if they believe you are!
