The single scariest quote I have heard since we entered the "Era of B.O." (yes, B.O. is short for Barack Obama, immature I know - I just can't help it) is from a woman at a B.O. rally that, scarily, represents the mindset of the majority of B.O. "followers". This pathetic excuse for an American, Peggy Joseph, actually said, and yes this is a quote, “I won’t have to worry about putting gas in my car. I won’t have to worry about paying my mortgage”.
So what does this have to do with my subject? As always, the issues go far deeper than the surface. The CULTURE is shifting. This woman's statement is a microcosm of the world B.O. would build if he were The Architect. In his self-absorbed mind, Obama truly believes the world will be better if there were NO separation in classes. No rich. No poor. He truly believes this. (Himself excluded, of course!)
This COMPLETELY goes against human nature though. Remember the slogan "Keeping up with the Jones'"? That mindset is so bred into our blood that we even let it be the cause of the current recession we are in. Having more, more, more has become so important to us that we are addicted to it. We truly do not know when to say "when". Bigger house, nicer car, more "stuff". It is why we are in the financial situation we are in. It is also why we will recover from this eventually and why we will be here again someday.
So if the desire to "move up a class level" is what causes our demise every few decades, why do we keep doing it? Why don't we embrace Socialism? That would make EVERYONE "the Jones'". We would ALL have the same house, the same car, the same "stuff". There would never be a recession because supply and demand would be stabilized and would remain completely predictable, indefinitely. Sounds great, right?
Never going to happen. We are too greedy. We are not willing to make the sacrifices it takes to live this way - UNIVERSALLY. Remember, we would ALL be EXACTLY the same. Drones. Robots. Humanless. We do not have it in us. We are entirely too competitive. No matter where "average" is established on the income totem-pole, there will always be those who want more - and that are actually willing and capable of doing what it takes to "get ahead". There will also always be those that say "I would give ANYTHING to play golf like Tiger Woods", but don't EVER give real consideration to the sacrifice and ability it takes to be able to golf like Tiger. Tiger EARNS every million he makes.
My all-time favorite is the person who complains non-stop about how tight they are on money and how evil those money-grubbing companies are that are making a fortune by over-charging them for the gas they put in their entirely-too-big-SUV, the rising costs of cigarettes, junk food, and alcohol ...... all while they eat their $10 burger and talk about how they wish they could lose 40-50 pounds.
Did you catch how many things are wrong with that description? Did you really? THAT is why there will always be poor people in the richest country in the world. Some people wish they could have others pay for their mortgage and gas while others would never dream of taking a single dime that they didn't EARN. "Classes" are inevitable in a Capitolist nation. Quit fighting it so much and spend that energy doing the things that rich people do - like WORKING, SACRIFICING, and SAVING THEIR MONEY!!
If you want more, shut up and go EARN IT. Leave me and my stuff alone. I pay taxes and give to charitable donations WILLINGLY. Please do not take my hard-earned money from my children and from the charitable organizations of my choice by taxing me to the point that I don't have a dime left-over. Stop Obama and his socialist inner-circle and his "followers". Contact your congressman and VOTE for CAPITOLISM in 2010!!
