How did we let this happen? Too many people have been out of the loop trying to work their but off making ends meet. In the meantime the government has been adding taxes, restricting freedom and taking more but throwing out bones to the people that need something. Government dependence is coming full force and no-one will be there to stop it. Why hasn't America woken up and said enough is enough? The only answer for this is there are fewer proud Americans that believe in self-reliance and companies or individuals who have already made it don't want competition.
Many of them call themselves liberals (humanitarians) but they are freedom killers. Redistribution has hit a new level. Why does the American government reward laziness and penalize go-getters? Socialist governments have to have reliance on government. Unfortunately a lot of Americans who have already taken advantage of their opportunity believe in redistribution, a deathly tax rate and restrictions that don't affect them at this point. THEY HAVE ALREADY MADE IT DUE TO AMERICAN OPPORTUNITY. SORRY, I HAVE SOME COMPETITION FOR YOU.
The only competition at one point will be revolution unfortunately. I do not want a socialist, communist or fascist government. If nothing happens, I guarantee that's what will happen. There are too many takers and not enough givers at this time. The givers have finally woke up but the takers are becoming the majority of this country as well as established corporations and rich individuals who have already received the American dream.
Don't tread on me! I want the same opportunity established corporations and rich individuals have received. Federal government is only good for national defense and infrastructure. Back off, my father and grandfather didn't fight for oppression, THEY FOUGHT FOR INDIVIDUAL FREEDOM. Don't disgrace the men and women who made your opportunity possible. America is the last hope on earth for the opportunity to rise from a ditch digger to a multi-millionaire.
