This is a teaching moment here, and this is the purpose of this blog. We'll keep the individuals I'm referring to anonymous, calling them Carmen and Jeff. Hang on a moment, and you'll see this post is a quintessential example of something I wrote about a few months ago.
Jeff said that he felt bad because many kids don't get much for Christmas. Their gifts from Santa entail simple things like shirts and pants. And then their friends talk about what they got for Christmas -- bug things like Stereos, computers, video games, etc. -- the poor kids feel bad. So, he said, we ought to think of this, and give our kids more humble gifts from Santa, and make it so the big gifts, the expensive gifts, are from the parents.
So then Carmen says, "You have a point there."
I said, "That's a perfect example of why we need to get rid of people like Obama."
Carmen and Jeff look at me all offended, Jeff says, "This has nothing to do with politics."
Carmen said, "When I was a kid there was a republican in office, and we were still poor."
I didn't mean to get them so upset, and so I said nothing more. Later I'm sitting with just Carmen, and she said something about our paycheck, about how it's simply not enough money for us to get ahead. And I said, "Bingo. That's exactly what I was talking about. People suck so much out of paychecks to help the poor to the point that now everyone is poor. That's what people like Obama want. They want victims."
Yes, it is to the point right now where we feel we can't get ahead. My parents, and my grandparents, worked hard to get ahead. They were never rich, but they could afford to buy a nice house with plenty of bedrooms for all the kids. They had to work hard to get this, but they had it. Today, I work just as hard as my parents and grandparents, make about the same amount of money, and only make enough, after taxes, to buy a humble home where my kids are doubled up.
Look, allow me to explain. It's easy to see the poor child and to empathise with him. This is what drives liberalism. They count on you not seeing what is not seen, and that is all the money taken from hard working people to pay for all their government programs aimed to help these victims.
Yet it goes to show that the truth hurts, especially when you're referring to poor children who's parents don't have enough money to pay for gifts. I was not meaning to sound like I don't care, but my point was that liberals feed into stuff like this. Liberals want poor kids, and they want people like you to feel bad for them, because that makes you all victims. Now, here me out here.
These poor kids are victims. Liberals like Obama need victims to survive, and to keep the democratic party going. They say things like you are saying, "Oh, I feel your pain." And then they create programs to help them that someone else has to pay for. And so taxes have to be raised on the hardworking people, the rich, the middle class, and also the poor.
On the surface people see Obama's programs come off as good. They are helping the poor. They are making it so the poor can eat, have a roof over their heads, and so forth. But what is not seen is all the money filtered from paychecks. By the time you get them they are so small that the value of the dollar goes less far than it did 40 years ago. In other words, liberalism has made everyone poor. That's what they mean when they say they can create a euphoria. Their euphoria, their world where everyone is equal, is a world where everyone is poor.
And you can say that when you were a kid you were poor and their was a republican president. But that is not telling the whole truth. Since the 1960s, since the death of John F. Kennedy, liberals have controlled the media, they have controlled what our kids learn, and they have controlled Washington. And I'm referring to democrats, but I'm also referring to establishment republicans like George H.W. Bush, Bob Dole, Mitt Romney, John McCain, John Kasich, Jeb Bush, and John Boehner.
These are the types of republicans who are also liberals. Look, just last week presents a perfect example of what I'm referring to here. In 2010 and 2014 republican voters, in landslide elections, put republicans into office who promised to oppose democrats, and to stop Obama. Then they sign budget deals like the one last week where the democrats get everything they want funded and republicans get nothing. Some say Obama got what he wanted with a fight, but there was no fight. Republicans just caved on everything.
Here's a better example. In the mid 1980s democrat controlled New York was in a depression and about to go bankrupt. Donald Trump was rich already, and so he had no personal need to invest in New York. But he did. By the time he was done, he had created millions of jobs for New York, and billions of dollars. He had single handedly pulled New York out of a depression. And he was not a politician. He created no government programs. What he did was encouraged government to get out of the way, give him tax breaks, etc., and he did what businessmen do: make deals.
So who do you think really cares about the poor: liberals or conservatives? Liberals are gutless people who say they care about the poor, and create programs other people have to pay for, such taxes out everything we buy or make, and in the long term make everyone poor. Conservatives look like they don't care for the poor because they don't offer them free programs, but they create environments where everyone has an opportunity to prosper, and where the dollar goes a lot farther.
In other words, even if those poor families made the same amount of money under a conservative government that did not include Obama, those few dollars that bought cheap gifts from Santa would have been able to buy more expensive gifts. So, you see, the best thing we can do for those poor kids is to get rid of Obama.
That said, I'm all for helping poor kids. It's called charity. And less money taken out of paychecks, the more charity people do. For instance, during the 1980s, when taxes and regulations were low under Ronald Reagan, charitable givings were at record highs. So, get rid of the Obama's of the world and poor kids will be far better off.
