At a fundraiser yesterday Obama said that Republicans think that successful people like him who "have taken much from this country have no obligation to the less fortunate." He’s wrong. We do think that people like him who have taken much and produced nothing, DC politicians and hedge fund managers who have exploited the public trough, should give it back.
Politicians began buying votes in the 30’s and boy have they been successful… in getting elected, in maintaining power… and successful as well in exacerbating problems, destroying families, destroying housing markets, undermining the educational system. They’ve managed to buy the votes of the poor, the elderly, the art lovers, the unions, the peanut growers, the people who want to bring back the wolf and subsidize the people whose cattle the wolves have destroyed. They’ve bought us all, from the poorest to the richest. They even pay unemployment benefits to millionaires.
There are those who are trying to get the wheels of government to resolve problems, but each year the problem gets worse. The wheel gets heavier. Please, God, send us someone with will and courage, conviction, wisdom and resolve.
