Even though it is not official, one thing is certain: the United States of America has allowed itself to be taken over by an electorate that votes with its emotions rather that its reason.
We have elected a man that, although an inspiring speaker, has no significant experience for the job we have hired him for. We have elected a man that wants to change the very foundational concepts that this country was founded upon. No more free markets. No more freedom of opportunity. We have let our emotions take over. It feels good to think that someone will take care of things for us.
We have traded away equality of opportunity for equality of outcome. And despite the rhetoric, it is not about making sure that the least of us are taken care of–it solely about making sure that no one, except the right people, has any more than anyone else. That is the real immorality of progressivism/socialism/communism/Marxism. Instead of being a system that promotes success, it is a system that demands success be shared, that success is a right–even to those that haven’t earned it.
So now we have said we want a system that takes from some to give to many–in effect, punishing success. How long can this last? Hopefully not more than two years. Once people realize that the system will no be able to sustain itself, we just might go back to a more reasoned, more moral system where opportunity abounds, success is encouraged–and thus spreads to all, and personal responsibility is the rule.
Until then, welcome to the National Socialist Democratic Republic of America.
