I Tell you the Truth

Preamble

It is quite simple; if you TAX the people that work, and if you GIVE money to the people who DON'T, do not be surprised when you find a large number of people NOT working...

Givers and Takers

Those who demand the most, pay the least; and, quite naturally and conversely, those who demand the least pay the most. A Free Republic will inevitably reach a point of "critical mass;" where the selfish learn to deify he who will "give" them everything that they want. Those who worship selfishness are always those who GIVE least, and demand what others have. Leftists ALWAYS have this advantage; and, yet almost miraculously, it is the Giver, and NOT the Taker, that prevails. To this point in History, this Country has enjoyed good Character. They remain in [*] Grace, and Will. That segment of Society that does the least, and demands the most (you know who you are; may shame befall you)-Awaken!

This "important" Selection will be the Barometer of the thinking of the American People; a people lost in their way, lost in their "selves;" and a gauge of the damaging and disastrous effects of HUMANISM, "intellectual" elitism, multi-culturalism, political correctness, foolishness, selfishness, and Secularism. It is NOT AT ALL a matter of a choice between two Good Leaders; there isn't even the One*. If the lukewarm and tepid Middle wins, it will merely signify a TINY sliver of potential, that this Country is salvageable. If the rebellious Marxist wins, (let Us See if) the "American" University has done its WORST...and its best; and has succeeded in spoiling, damaging, and deceiving the population, and destroying the Greatest Christian Experiment ever Divined*..

Ecclesiastes 10:2

Ron- It seems your guy mis-speaks a lot. Like he never heard his pastor of twenty years preach anti-american and racist sermons. Yeah, he's a real victim!
Ron Hall Oct 26, 2008, 10:19pm EDT
I think the recent buzz over this issue is irrelevant. Barak Obama misspoke. When he said, "spread it around" he meant "spread around the tax cuts". For the last few years only the most wealthy have been getting tax cuts, and such a favor to one interest group distorts the market. What he was trying to say (as far as I can tell from everything else he has said), is that it's time to bring things back into balance by lowering the tax burden on the Joe Plumbers among us. Yes, Joe Plumber gets a tax cut under Obama's plan. Of course, he'll should pay off his tax lien first.

This is very true. One of the reasons we have one of the highest welfairs of any industrial countries in the world.
Tiffany G. Oct 26, 2008, 10:28pm EDT
Well, I am kind of mad and glad at the same time. Mad, because I wrote a post on this very topic over two weeks ago, and tried to have it published in Conservative "press" ... guess what? No one would. Big shock there. Anyway, You've beaten me to it here, at least in part! :-/

And glad, because I will be publishing my post, instead, on Gather ...and I bet mine will beat Yours for lowest rating ;)

Now the question is, should I be kind and give You a "1"???

Not only are they promising booty to the takers ... they are driving up taxes on the remaining factories & other businesses driving at least a percentage of them overseas where the taxes are lower.
Soon we will all be takers singing 'Where have all the givers gone ...'

You do tell the truth, Mark-John!
Mark-John K. Oct 26, 2008, 10:58pm EDT
Goodness...some action already, and a SUB-TERRAINIAN rating...a veritable DUST-BOWL of a response! As DRY as my favourite Martini!!!

Of course, my thanks to you, Ron, and Dan, who may not be aware that there is a CONTEST to win here!
Mark-John K. Oct 26, 2008, 10:59pm EDT
I Promise to be back to respond in my USUAL serious manner, when I am able. I've always been a surly boy...

With some time, effort, and dedication maybe we can, one day, be the collective influence that initiates a shift in global consciousness.
Ron Hall Oct 27, 2008, 9:03am EDT
I checked back on this, and see it has three votes of "1". None of those ratings came from me.

""I cannot in good conscience support a tax cut in which so many of the benefits go to the most fortunate among us, at the expense of middle-class Americans who most need tax relief.""

C J- I think your needle is stuck, this is not the first time I've seen you leave that quote. The essential part of that quote is this

"2001"

Get A Grip!
Mark-John K. Oct 27, 2008, 8:06pm EDT
Ron, thank you for checking back. I know that you haven't left a rating, and I approve of that much over the "1's" left by the hateful.
Tiffany G. Oct 27, 2008, 8:19pm EDT
BAM!!!!!!!!!!

The Other Five Percent

...and a complimentary "1" please....
Mark-John K. Oct 28, 2008, 9:25am EDT
What?!? The "Conservative Press" wouldn't publish a beautifully-written Conservative piece??? Will "wonders" never cease! I'm SHOCKED! SHOCKED, I say, to hear that there is Gambling going on in this Casino!

Apologies on the appearance of "plagiarism!" I've considered to offer to pull my article in Your deference, and then laughed at myself..."The Other Five Percent" is excellent, and no doubt will go down as the "winner"...

,,,and, though this goes AGAINST the fibre of my "being," here is Your "1!"
Mark-John K. Oct 28, 2008, 9:26am EDT
Sue, I TRY to!
Mark-John K. Oct 28, 2008, 9:27am EDT
Dan-

BULLSEYE.
Mark-John K. Oct 28, 2008, 9:29am EDT
Glome-

Unfortunately, and for us, you are quite accurate. I wonder where the "wealth" will come from, when the "Producers" of this Country have gone...
Mark-John K. Oct 28, 2008, 9:30am EDT
THAT is what I intend to DO, Sophie...that is what I intend to do...
Tiffany G. Oct 28, 2008, 9:50am EDT
Pull Your article?! No way! Yours, too, is excellent, and I believe our posts compliment each others' quite nicely... And is a Testament to JUST how MUCH We Think alike~!!!

And have the same writing style, hmmm.

I'm smelling a rodent of some sort.

Obama, Biden and Lippy Michelle are all good at having diarrea of the mouth..
Dan R. Oct 29, 2008, 10:09pm EDT
Mark, I do not usually rate articles except with my responce. I know I get a lot of low ratings too, and usually by drive-bys, too chickenshit to comment.
Mark-John K. Oct 30, 2008, 12:41am EDT
Lois, Dear, what are you trying to say?
Mark-John K. Oct 30, 2008, 12:41am EDT
Tiffany~...so True...
Mark-John K. Oct 30, 2008, 12:42am EDT
Vickey-

I agree!
Mark-John K. Oct 30, 2008, 12:43am EDT
Dan, I usually do not rate, either. Even on those who despise me. They, however, have no compunction to forget the favour...
"Lois, Dear, what are you trying to say? "

Oh nothing dear, but the term "stalker" did come to mind. Hugs!
Dan R. Oct 30, 2008, 7:48pm EDT
Mark, I agree.
I get a lot of drive bys myself as well, I am sure you have noticed the low comments in agreement, and low votes without comment on my posts. Seems many like to be cowards and slap a low vote than state an idea, if they even have one.

Welfare.
