The Death Of Capitalism

These first 71 day's of this new regime have been far worse than I had anticipated. There were times during President Obama's campaign which I thought maybe, just maybe he could possibly govern from the center, but now, we all know that that will never happen. He is governing in the the way you would expect from looking at his past and not in the way he had presented during his campaign. I guess I should say that I am not in the least bit surprised, when take in account his past.

Seriously, how could anyone be surprised? Obama was a member of a radical Marxist church for over twenty years. A church he admittedly attended at least twice a month during that period. A church with a radical pastor who said hateful things about this country. A pastor who also used racial slurs as well. This pastor said these sort of things on a regular basis during his sermons. This is a pastor which President Obama considered his mentor. Reverend Jeremiah Wright married Obama and Michelle as well as baptising his children. The point I am trying to make is, if someone sits in a church where hatred for America and racism is a common topic then that someone must agree with at least some of it on some kind of level.

There were other signs from his past other than his relationship with Reverend Jeremiah Wright. There were the videos and tapes of him saying that he agreed with spreading the wealth around. He has also always been very vocal about starting national health care. President Obama is a Socialist without a doubt and possibly much worse.

If people can not realize that this President is a socialist by now after these first 71 days, then I have little confidence in the intelligence of the American People. Look at the bill he signed which they like to call a stimulus bill but is really a far left agenda bill. It is a bill which expands the government further into our lives. And every time he tries to sell this bill to the American People, he stresses the infrastructure aspect of the bill, but what he fails to tell the American People is that only 5% of the monstrous bill will actually go towards infrastructure! The rest of the bill goes towards things to further the left movement.

Capitalism is dieing right before our eyes and people should be completely outraged. People should be taking to the streets to demand that this stops immediately. This country is the envy of the world because of our freedoms, free market and capitalism which has created our extraordinary wealth. Although, now, all of this is in jeopardy.

For the first time in America's history a President has fired a CEO of a private company and put in the person he wants. For the first time in our history a President has asked the Congress for the power to take over a company which he feels presents a threat to our economy. For the first time in our history a President wants to set limits on how much money a company can pay their executives.

This is very dangerous stuff my friends. If he wants to set limits on executives pay, then who's next? What other companies or industries will he take over next? What qualifies President Obama to run these companies and industries? I'll tell you what, NOTHING!!! He has absolutely no business experience what so ever. Besides, that is not the role of government!!! Government should not be making decisions in the private sector at all, period!

The more I watch this President on TV speaking the more I think that he is an enemy of capitalism. Capitalism is what makes this country so great. Capitalism is what drives people to work hard and strive for success. The reason America's economy has always been better than the rest of the world is basically because the Government has always stayed out of things. In America if you work hard, get an education and work up the ladder then you can earn more money. This is the basic philosophy of capitalism. The reason there are so many great entrepreneurs in this country is because the incentives are good. If you start a successful business here in this country you will be able to keep most of your success. This is very important because this is what moves our economy in a positive direction which ultimately helps everyone by creating jobs for people.

Socialism does not work. It does not work because you can not tax all of the productive people's success in order to pay for the unproductive part of society. This will cause the productive people to be less productive because there is no incentive to work harder. Think about it, the harder you work the more you have to pay in taxes for people who do not work as hard. Why? Entitlement programs are killing European countries and they will kill us too if we go down this road.
