Last week's State of the
Union address, was a Santa wish-list for left-lovers, requiring more regulation, more spending, all
side-stepping the reality needed to fundamentally-repair
our fractured nation. Pre-school
education. Perhaps useful for some, but
more expense, and still more government parenting. Raising
the minimum wage to 9-dollars an hour. More
expense, for an unskilled starter-wage, never meant to sustain a family. A hike that's a proven-route to employee lay-offs and
reduced hours. And, then, again, climate change. An issue that, realistically, can only be impacted
by regulating the Sun-that-shines, and
God Almighty.
The repetitive drum-beat
throughout, was blaming our problems on the "privileged few," which, ironically,
is the leftist-elite. Among other targeted
comments (quote): "We do not believe,
that in this country, freedom is reserved for the lucky." Lucky, as in, "you didn't build that." Lucky as in acquiring top-income unfairly and
without effort, rather than the actual pathway to success, open to all, requiring
marketable skills, hard-work, innovation, relocation, and risk; progressing, on
merit, to performance-based achievement. To claim otherwise is just political-pabulum
for those who prefer the spin-ride of Fed-fantasy. Calling success "lucky" is pure-fiction,
and an incredible insult to those who achieve, and create jobs. We can boost our
economy with truth, common-sense, reduced regulation and taxes. And when
fawning Big Media stops acting like life's a non-stop bridal-shower, and gets
back to actual journalism. Most of all,
we need a federal government that stops excessive feel-good spending and
regulating, and stops the all-controlling, freedom-destroying fixation on
Executive Branch power.
