Why do democrats hate success?

So on April 14, 2015, at a round table in Monticello, Ohio, Hillary Clinton said, "“There’s something wrong when CEOs make 300 times more than the American worker.” This statement bothers me and I'm going to explain why.

I do not know if CEOs actually do make 300 times more than the average American worker.  However, what I do know is that CEOs make a lot more money than the average worker.  Many CEOs make six figure incomes.  

Hillary Clinton has made it clear that she sees this as unfair. She would like to do something to bring CEOs down to the same level as everyone else, perhaps by taxing them more.  

It seems to me this is quite common among democrats.  They see people who succeed and they want to punish them; tax them; bring them down to earth.  They say things like, "It's not fair that they make so much money," or, "This is why I hate capitalism, because greedy people get rich at the expense of everyone else."

I see such statements as odd. I think we should put people who succeed up on a pedestal, and instead of scolding success as the result of greed, they should show other people how they can succeed too.  Instead of punishing the rich and talking bad about them, we should teach other people how they too can get rich.  

I think democrats actually think there is a limited money supply. They think if one person is rich it's at the expense of other people.  But this is not true.  There is enough money in this world so that every person can become rich.

You know, in order to get rich you have to spend a lot of time and money on a good college education.  You'll have to work hard and take risks.  You'll probably have to be willing to relocate yourself and your family where the jobs are.  And while they make a lot of money, there is a lot of responsibility and a high risk you'll be fired if you fail.

These are things most of us are not willing to do, so that's why most of us make average wages.

So we should put them on a pediatal, not chide and punish them with federal regulations and taxes

The government can try to make everyone equal, but the government cannot make people rich.  Surely, if you read any history book, you'll see that it has been tried a hundreds of times throughout history, and has failed every time.  Liberalism fails time and time again.  

But government will not make people rich, only the free market system can do that; only capitalism can do that. Government makes people poor.  If you tax people who succeed so they make the same as every one else, then everyone will be poor.  This has been proven again and again and again over the years.  

Look at the Soviet Union as a good example. They had the perfect fascist government over there that was supposed to make every person equal.  The only problem was that there was no incentive for people to do the work, so food did not get planted, and food that was planted did not make it's way to plates.  

Like money, there is plenty of food in the world too.  The way to put food on plates, and the way to put money in banks, is to get the government out of the way, to create an economic environment where any one who makes the effort and takes the risks has an opportunity to succeed.  

In other words, we should respect and honor CEOs for making more than the average worker.  They have very important jobs, and work very hard to get where they are.  They take risks, and when they succeed they get paid heavily.  Instead of talking bad about them, and instead of calling them names like "Greedy," we should show others how they can do it too.

This is yet another reason why I am not voting for Hillary Clinton in 2016. 

Poll paints grim picture for democrats

It's not uncommon for the American people to get tired of one party being in power for too long, but recent polling data shows they are more tired of Obama than Bush, Clinton, and even Jimmy Carter.

The latest polling data was reported by the Associated Press and shows that Americans lack confidence in the government's ability to protect their personal safety and economic security.

The poll also shows that 90 percent of those likely to vote in the November elections call the economy an extremely or very important issue. Considering most consider the economy to still be lagging in a recession, this does not bode well for the party in power, which so happens to be democrats.

Another interesting thing about this poll is that it reveals that 32 percent of voters want to send a message of opposition with their vote, compared to just 20 percent who want to send a message of support.  This in and of itself does not bode well for the party in power.

While the article doesn't do this, I think it's important to put these numbers in perspective.  That 32 percent is 13 points higher than in 1998 when former President Bill Clinton was headed to impeachment, higher than in 2008 when Americans were fed up with wars in Iraq and Afghanistan, and higher than in 1980 when voters were fed up with Jimmy Carter's agenda.

I'm not the kind of person who takes much stock in polls, although I thought this one was rather significant so close to an election. Similar to how democrats marched to office near the end of the Bush years, republicans might be marching come November -- yet perhaps on a greater scale.
