Beware of the words "It’s not fair." They will destroy individualism!

America has been off track for some time, heading towards a government where individual rights that are guaranteed by our constitution are slowly being plucked away. It seems we have come to a crossroads. With the upcoming election, we can choose to become a socialist nation and allow a few elite decide (because the general public is too stupid to do it) how we should live our lives, what to do with our property, and how best to spend the money we work for. Hmmm…seems contradictory to what the founding fathers thought of an imposing government. Jefferson said, “"Those are governed best who are governed least." He also believed in the peoples’ ability to solve problems and did not think it the government’s responsibility to bail everyone out. “I know of no safe repository of the ultimate power of society but people. And if we think them not enlightened enough, the remedy is not to take the power from them, but to inform them by education.”

Of course according to many running for political office today it isn’t fair that the rich are rich. And what a brilliant point they make (sarcasm). After all, is it really fair for someone who works hard to keep his money when his neighbor didn’t make as much as he did? Why that doesn’t make sense…it’s just not fair. We should be living for the public good, right? Well, according to Obama we should because this is not an on your own society.

Note to self: When people begin depending on the government...they lose all power and control. That is NOT a democracy.

“George Bush called this the ownership society, but what he really meant was 'you're-on-your-own' society. John McCain apparently wants to continue this." – Barack Obama

Apparently I missed the part in the constitution and historical writings by the founding fathers that claim that the underprivileged are “entitled” to other people’s belongings….yes, all have the right to the pursuit of happiness but they must pursue that happiness. Socialism takes away our right to pursue happiness because nothing is truly ours and everything is completely regulated. Hey what a brilliant plan!
