Entry: Obama is Right Link: http://www.takimag.com/blogs/article/obama_is_right#23968 Post contents: A very insightful comment, which really describes the fundamental difference between the America of the founders and the one we have today. 200 years ago we were a country of self-sufficient individuals, farmers, self-employed craftsmen and businesspeople, who were used to making their own decisions and live with the consequences. And they were the ones the founders restricted voting rights to. In today’s society the vast majority of people are dependent in their employment, or on government largesse, feeding on the public trough. I do not expect a single mother on welfare in South Central L.A., who has made peace with her lifestyle, nor the welfare worker whose income depends upon the existence of that mother, to use their voting rights to abolish their access to another man’s work and income, because for them it is a survival matter and they have been conditioned to think of it as their right. After all, we are now one big family, with almost half of the “family income” now being re-distributed by and to those, who did not earn it, with the “re-distributors” (our public servants) taking an increasingly bigger share for themselves. These people are happy, when the game is rigged in their favor with subsidies for them, and become “bitter”, when the “re-distributors” rig the game in favor of another parasitic group. But I am wondering, if you are the breadwinner in the family, how much say over the distribution of your paycheck do you give to your kids and the drug-addicted crazy uncle, whom you have taken in out of the goodness of your heart? We have become an easily manipulated society, akin to domesticated animals. The only way to fix this mess, is to go back to the way of the founding fathers and restrict voting rights to those, who do not depend on their neighbor’s income to sustain themselves.
