My Letter to ColorofChange.org

Earlier this week I received a letter in my email from an organization titled Colour of Change. The email was titled:


"Rush attacks Black folks. Will Republican leadership stand with him?"

This email of course struck a cord with me, and since I am in the process of writing a piece on racism in America, I decided I would share this with you as a prequel of what is to come. As usual, let me know your thoughts.


James,

The following letter is for you and your team.

Let me start by saying...as a coloured Caribbean entrepreneur in this country I find life full of obstacles. I find it difficult not because I am being held back by another race. I find it difficult not because I have words thrown at me like stones. I find it difficult because that is how Jah made this world. I am not held back by any colour or race. Not Black Americans, not White Americans, not Africans white and black alike, nor the Chinese or any European. None of them have the power to hold me down. None of them would even know where to start, The only person with enough power to stop me, would be me.

I am personally tired of social welfare. I am personally tired or watching other people scrape by and come up with excuses for their lack of an imprint on this world. Whether the excuse be their colour, their race or their family history. I was born to a man who came from a wealthy family with no money in his hands when he came to this country. At the time of my birth his only riches were his love for his son, his passion for work, the knowledge he was given through a good education and his experiences in life. With those tools he made his empire. He built his own wealth completely separate from his family. He took out his bank loans and made his business work. No assistance from Uncle Sam.

That is the beauty of this country. Everyone has the chance to create their destiny. This is not India where social classes stop you from advancing in life. This is not Iraq where you are jailed or hanged for being different. This is not a country in Africa where you are shot for being from the wrong tribe.

Now I want to address these emails that you and your team always send out. I signed up for your emails not because I am tired of being held back. As you can tell, I do not think this way. I signed up for your emails because I am what I call a true Liberal. Not in the political sense, because I am in fact a conservative. I am a true liberal in the sense of being open minded. I like to hear what everyone has to say, because I am aware that everyone is entitled to his or her beliefs towards EVERY subject. I actually find it humourous that most of those considered as Political Liberals aren't even open minded.

Rush Limbaugh is but one man. One man with a powerful voice only because of how loudly he speaks. His radio station is not forced on anyone. In fact his listeners openly CHOOSE to listen to his words. They do that because that is their right. Rush Limbaugh is a man with a colourful history too, as I am sure you are aware. In this email that you address to myself and your "followers", you start out by saying this:

"Dear *** ,

You won't believe Rush Limbaugh. He just accused President Obama of trying to intentionally wreck the economy, saying that Obama wants to put more people on welfare and food stamps, and implying that he wants to redistribute the country's wealth to Black people."

IF you have not noticed James, President Obama and his colleagues have in fact admitted to wanting to redistribute the wealth in America. That is what the higher taxes for the wealthy are for. And you may not feel he is intentionally trying to wreak this country. But many feel he is unintentionally doing just that. In your email you try and attack Rush Limbaugh and the Republicans who listen to him. And I have to say my only reaction to this piece of ignorance is to laugh. At which point did you and your people forget the freedom that was given to express your opinion. You and organizations like your own have been doing so for longer than Rush. The only thing I ask of you and your "kind" of organizations is to remove your malicious intent and properly inform the people who take you seriously. This country is going through a lot of changes recently. Whether those changes are in the right direction falls on the shoes of the American People as individuals. It seems like "thinking on your own" is a thing of the past. Both of the main parties in the political spectrum have played dirty cards. This will not change until people "man" up and stop pointing fingers at the wrong items of concern. Don't send emails insulting Rush and his comments unless you add in a piece about celebrities like Kayne West and Janeane Garofalo who makes comments which no backing and of no significance. If you want to be a part of the movement in the right direction, educate yourself and your team on ways that you can actually educate the people. In your message you claim that Rush is the one who plays on the "racial fear and paranoia" when you are simply adding fuel to the fire. You want to put out a flame, bring Sand and Water and remove it's oxygen source. Don't bring it more life to consume.

I don't expect that my email will change your point of view or your manner of approaching a situation. I do not ask that you remove your freedom of expression like you attempt to remove that of others. All I ask is that you remove the ignorance from your message. Because with a mailing list like the one you own, you are sure to do one thing...and that is spread that ignorance like a virus. I want to inform you that your website and methodology of "informing" the people will be blasted on my blog. I will not speak badly towards what you mean to stand for, but instead allow people to know of your existence.

The American Separation

Dear Airbourne In-forums Readers,

Today I will admit to being the enemy. Not because I want to be the enemy, but simply because the government has labeled me as just that. They have stated that the point of view of myself, and those who think like me should be feared.

Well here is the point of view you should fear then.

I believe all of this sounds a lot like fear tactics. The Government has done two things by releasing this statement. They have made the average American who may of voted for Obama but who may no longer support the current direction of the administration, fear publicly coming out against the views of the administration for chance of being labeled a terrorist or extremist. The other scenario it will successfully achieve is to create a separation within the population. Those who are for him, and those who are against him. The sad truth...but that is just the opinion of a person labeled an extremist/terrorist by his own government.

Lets take Janeane Garofalo [the moron actress] as my prime example for this blog post. She has been very open about her political views, as have I and many others. But she has some rather sketchy comments that follow her beliefs. They often remind me of Kayne West and his "George Bush hates Black People" comment.

Let me give you the new quote that will beat out Kayne:

"'Let's be very honest about what this is about. This is not about bashing Democrats. It's not about taxes. They have no idea what the Boston Tea party was about. They don't know their history at all. It's about hating a black man in the White House,' she said on MSNBC's 'The Countdown' with Keith Olbermann Thursday evening. 'This is racism straight up and is nothing but a bunch of teabagging rednecks. There is no way around that.'"

My favourite part of course is the last line. We are nothing but a bunch of teabagging rednecks. This America is separation. We have come to a point in America where you are either for our President and his policies or you are a Homophobic Racist Redneck who is a terrorist and a possible threat to this country.

Here we have a country where the people are free to stand up against what they believe is a violation to their rights [as many did during the Bush administration] and they NOW are being labeled for it [which was not the case during the Bush administration]. Not only by ignorant close minded individuals such as Ms. Garofalo but by our own government.

The "American Separation" is well on it's way. It is something that many believed was impossible in this country. The very separation in other countries is the reason many arrived in America, and here we have history repeating itself yet again. It's not a good sign when a socialist leader can make this statement:

“It would seem that the changes that started in Venezuela in the last decade of the 20th century have begun to reach North America”
-Chavez

What does this mean to you? Simple. Don't be afraid of your beliefs. Always remember that the government in power works for the American People. But most of all...what this means for you, me and the rest of the world is this. Don't be swayed by anything other than your own thoughts. I know my readers don't think like Garofalo...but be aware that others do, and simply walk around them and preach your beliefs. It is your given right!

How American International Group (AIG) was thrown under the Bus...

Dear Airbourne In-forum Readers,

It has been a month since my last post. Society has yet again stirred the anger within me. I wanted to start a series of post on my blog (and I eventually will) that spoke towards the wisdom of Ronald Reagan, but before I can go ahead with that theme of post's I need to speak about AIG.

The other morning I woke up to a series of messages from colleagues that I often speak politics with, stating how much they hated AIG. At first I could not understand where this sudden deep hatred came from, then I turned on my PC. All over the news was talk about the bonus's being provided to those who worked within AIG. All over was talk about how angry the tax payer should be, that these "greedy morons" over at AIG should hang or be executed like it was the wild west.

I mean seriously?! At which point did this country allow people to be guilty until proven innocent? I thought it was supposed to be the other way around. For our very own President to call the company "reckless and greedy" before even having a full understanding of what is going on...well that is just not the true signs of a leader!!

This post is to just point out a few issue's with the story being presented to the "Tax Payer" just in case they care to even know. First off I want to point out to the people what is really going on here. The media and the white house is playing off your emotions. They know full well that most of you will not do the proper research to understand the truth. Someone very close to me said it best.

"The Obama administration is still on the campaign trail. They are doing whatever the people want them to do. They are saying whatever the people want to hear."
-unknown (to you) source

Well in an earlier post I basically stated that the presidents job is not to make the people happy by doing what they want, because the people don't always know what is best for them. The Presidents job is to be a rational thinker and do what is best for the people whether they smile about it or not. It's no longer a publicity stint. You got the job...now do what you were hired to do.

AIG made a promise to it's employees in 2008 (by promise...I mean a contract). A contract that in the simplest of forms, stated that if they did not leave AIG [for another competitor] they would be given a retention bonus. For those of you that don't know, AIG's Financial Products was meant to die [taken apart]. That means the positions were meant to die as well. What do most people do when they know they are meant to get laid off? Find another job. The contract was created to get people to stay until the end. It was a promise from the company to the people, that stated, for your time and trouble here you go [enter dollar figure here]. One of the things that is so beautiful about this country, is we uphold our contracts to our people. They are law. Unless of course your President Obama or the House. No, at that point you can pass a bill that goes around the law (the contract) and you create a tax that takes 90% of what they are promised [and can jokely state the other 10% will be taken by local and state government]. Then you allow the media to paint a picture of AIG's employee's...as if they were not human.

Do people forget that the people who work at AIG are human beings. Tax payers. They have families. There have been death threats to these people. People have come out right and asked for their execution. You may not take it serious...but it is very serious. Society has lost sight to what is really going on here.

Obama should have never come out and said anything remotely negative about this situation. If he wants to remove blame from the White house, that is fine. But to throw AIG under the bus is ridiculous. The people need to understand a few things. The people who work at AIG were promised compensation for staying with the company instead of leaving it in the dark. If all the employee's had left the Insurance Firm at once...the bail out money the government put into it would of been a waste anyways!

The next thing people need to understand is this. American International Group is what we call an Insurance organization. Just like if you were to get your home destroyed by a natural disaster, you would get money back. AIG is basically a second bail out for the banks. Why do you think the government couldnt let them fail. The bank bailout would have been worthless without saving AIG. AIG right now is just being used as a scape goat. They are not at fault for the money lost. As long as the banks are losing money AIG will be doing the same!

In fact, lets take this further. All of the tax payers out there complaining and stirring up the waters...I blame you. This is the chain of blame. I blame the people who took out loans that were more than they could afford. I blame the greedy bankers for providing the loans. I blame the government for telling the banks to do so. I blame everyone BUT American International Group (AIG). They simply did what they were supposed to do...insure the loans. AIG didn't tell you to default on your payments. They didn't tell you take more off the tree than you could eat. You did that on your own. Then you cried for a President who could be your hand puppet, and to top it all off, you forgot how to think like rational human beings!

It is our jobs to elect our politicians. It is our job to tell them when we are unhappy with the direction of the country. It is their job to uphold the law and do what is right for the country. No matter how you feel for AIG think about this. How would you feel, if your company made a contract with you promising you compensation for your troubles and a year later when they fullfilled their promise...your government snatched it away from you. No matter the circumstances...a contract is a contract. Death threats on fellow human beings is uncalled for! We are in America, not the middle east. You know what all this reminds me of?

Class warfare.

Is that where this country is at?

Do not let your politicans cloud your mind. AIG employee's are not to blame for all of this. The very CEO of AIG that is being attacked came out of retirement to help the company last November. He came out of retirement for a $1/annual salary. The people left at AIG may not all be good people but some are trying to help the company out...and here we are making them scared for their lives simply because of their position and the company they work for.

Think rationally. Think things through. Class warfare is just as bad as racial warfare.

The New York Post Cartoon

Dear Airbourne In-Forums Readers,

Let me just start by saying that today marks the 1 year anniversary of this magnificent blog. What started out as a simple way for me to post my thoughts for the entire internet kingdom soon became my main source of political relief. I know that I do not see eye to eye with many of my peer’s, while at the same time I realise that there is a mass amount of people out there who understand and view things the way I do. What this blog evolved into over the last 365 days is a by product of many events and many discussions.

Moving on…

This week two things occurred that caught my interest. One being, that Newsweek published an article titled “We are all Socialist now" and then a little cartoon got published in the New York Post.



When I first saw this cartoon I chuckled for three reasons. The first being the actual story of a chimp that was killed in Connecticut this week by two police officers who were protecting themselves from an upset primate, a chimp who was pampered and treated like a human by its owner. The other being the line that one of the cops uses while standing over the dead primate, implying that this monkey was somehow involved with the creation of the latest joke from our new Presidential Cabinet. The last reason has nothing to do with anything drawn within the cartoon, while at the same time having everything to do with everything within the cartoon. Some how, in some way this cartoon has been taken as not only a racist shot at our new President, but a threat to him, and well, in my mind I just don’t see it. In fact, I see a bunch of liberal’s looking for fuel to throw into a “Race Fire” that was started back when Obama won the primaries. Here we have a funny story about a chimp that attacks a friend of its owner (this doesn’t happen every day), and currently our nation is also coming to terms with this wonderful Stimulus bill that does nothing for the economy, while at the same time broke most promise’s our President made during his campaign, so WHY NOT tie them together. Why is it, that people like Tony Danza (from “Charles in Charge”) have to some how tie it in to a racial joke, I am not quite sure.

The cop in the above illustration is saying “They’ll have to find someone else to write the next stimulus bill”, and this is some how implied that Obama is the chimp? For all of you looking for reasons to point fingers to the right, allow me to clear up a few issues with your argument. First and foremost, Obama did not write the stimulus bill. In fact, this bill belongs to the likes of Nancy Pelosi. So if this is making fun of anyone, it is her. For anyone to say that this is a racist cartoon, I will boldly say you are filled with blind rage. You are not only looking for something to be wrong you are also being very short sighted. Allow me to explain.

In the past, when G.W Bush was our president, there were a lot of cartoons made. Cartoons made depicting GW as a redneck cowboy going out to war with guns in the air. Cartoons depicting GW and his cabinet, you know Colin Powell and Connie Rice, following him...like the help. No flags were raised back then. Why is that? Is it because those on the right actually have a sense of humour and we knew these cartoons were just blowing hot air. It’s impossible to count on two hands the amount of time GW was drawn as a monkey running the country into the ground and here we have ONE cartoon depicting a monkey shot and killed (something that actually occurred) and it being implied that this monkey had something to do with our new bill and the people are in outrage. MCHammer even went as far as to post on his Twitter page that this cartoon not only depicted a monkey, but the monkey was a BLACK monkey.

Did any one of you think (simply think, its not that hard), that this cartoonist MIGHT be saying he thinks the bill was a hair brained, stupid, good for nothing, written by a bunch of MONKEY’S solution to fix our economic problem?

Why is it that the race card is always pointed towards people from my side of the fence? Why is it that we never get the chance to do the same? I mean, the GOP is populated by minorities as well, and the left has always showed their humour through the same means as us. So it’s not like we haven’t had the opportunity, but yet still we are always on the defense from it. This year alone we have shown that racism is not what people thought it was. We have a black president and a black attorney general. Two black men selected by the people to be in top positions within this country…and one of them has the nerve to say our nation is a bunch of “cowards”.

Here are my thoughts on that. Stupid, ignorant liberals. Not all of them, just the ones that decided to create an issue where there was none. Here we HAD a nation that may not have fully agreed with everything Obama has done to this day, but has at least accepted that he is in fact our President. The nation came together and the mass majority voted him in and now a new wrench is thrown into our wheels.

Here’s what I think is going on. Here we have a nation that got together and voted in a President of something other than a pure white background (like me, he is of more than one race, one of which includes a white mother, by which he was raised). In his first 31 days of office, not many people have been too happy, including his followers. This bill of theirs just doesn’t make any sense. Slowly people are stating everywhere (including high school students) that they just don’t see what this liberal government is doing that would make sense to help solve our problem. What’s the best way to get everyone on the same side again? Draw the colour card. Make the nation be upset with the conservatives all over again…remind the people why they voted for him again…because he was the minority. Make something out of nothing. Get them in an uproar again, take their minds off the fact that the government just passed a bill that none of our elected officials got to read. A bill that WE didn’t even get to read, a bill that allows the government to spend nearly a trillion dollars in places that will NEVER stimulate the economy. A bill that shows that our liberal politicians (I can blame them because our republican friends never voted for it) never learned their lesson from the “Lost decade” of Japan.

My fellow Americans open your eyes and realise that we are all walking down the same path. As a nation our future co-exists with one another. This cartoon in my opinion was meant to say nothing more than this bill was written by a bunch of primates that have not yet evolved. I think Nancy Pelosi fit’s that bill perfectly. Is my colour side racist now? Or even better…am I a sexist now?

Before I sign off on this post I want to say one last thing.

Racism people, is what you make of it. I think that is something the American people need to learn. I was raised in a culture where race was nothing, we were all colour blind. Class, now that’s what defined who you are and how people reacted towards you. Class can be defined as how you present yourself, how you hold yourself, and how you interact with others. A lot of people in this country seem to have this chip on their shoulder that they can’t get rid of. And by holding on to this chip, they in turn create more issues than what actually exist. To make this easy to understand, let me say that racism is born of the utmost ignorance in mankind. Not saying racism doesn’t exist, what I am saying is, racism is as easy to ignore as the ignorant. Learn to get around it without making a big deal and maybe it will be forgotten and our grandkids will never know what it is to discriminate based on colour. The longer it is allowed to affect our way of lives, the longer it will stay around. Think of it as a virus that feeds on our attention. Ignore the ignorance and it will eventually go away.

Political Zombie-ism

Dear Airbourne In-Forums Readers,

Zombie-ism is a phrase I have been using a lot recently to describe those who I usually stand opposite of when it comes to political beliefs.  It’s unfair for me to simply call liberals Zombies though; as it is true they are not the only ones.  I know many young conservatives that are simply following the path of the most resistance or that of their parents, with no true understanding of what it is they are preaching.  There was a point in my life where I spoke politics with hardly anyone, but as each hour in my life passes by, it turns into an occurrence that happens more and more frequently.  From speaking to co-workers about personal beliefs about the direction of this country and our people, to speaking to my “tweeple” about our opposing views when it comes to the differences between the Democrats and Republicans. 

Political Zombie-ism is blind belief.  It is a blind following.  It is a true lack of understanding.  It is a mass of people voting for a president because of the colour of his skin.  It is a mass of people voting for a candidate simple because he is the opposite of someone else, or even worse because he is the candidate that represents the only party they will support.  It happened on both sides of the spectrum so no party is safe from the Zombie-ism.  

The country is in for a lot of twist and turns within the coming years.  Many of us will not see the results of what is being decided today, for years to come.  Zombies seem to not understand this fact.  Many people have the misunderstanding that the decline of our economy should all fall on G.W Bush’s shoulders, since he was the President whose lap it fell onto.  Many people don’t seem to even begin to understand that our recession started while another President was in office and that what a President does today may not necessarily be felt for a number of years.  

We, the people of America, need to have a better understanding for what is going on around us.  I am not asking for everyone to think the same.  I know full well my way of thinking is different from those that are liberal, and by Political Definition that makes me a conservative.  I am fine with that, as should those on the opposite side.  The joyous part about our country is, we can all think differently.  But first, and foremost…we as Americans need to THINK!!  Until the mass majority of Americans learn to think on their own…they will suffer from a disease I have un-officially coined as Political Zombie-ism.  So do all of us a favour, and educate yourself.

Regards,

Jahrootz

Hero Complex

Dear Airbourne In-Forums Readers,

On the road to the 2008 election one main thing could be seen from the Main Stream Media. They loved Obama. But it didn’t stop only with the Main Stream Media, it continued on to us [online social media avenues], we too held Obama up in the lime light. [By “we” I of course don’t mean myself, but my peers] We created a hero, our very own Superman. Super Obama! The man who would save our “Once Great” nation and return it back to the good ol’ days. You know the days I am talking about…days of the Great William Jefferson Clinton. [Please, for those of you who may not know me…sarcasm is running amok right now] Here is the question I want to pose to everyone… Will it ever be possible for us to physically take Obama off the High Pedestal that we have placed him on?

Will we ever regret this?


The reason I bring this up, is because I am curious as to what point the Media will stop becoming Bias. Here we have it, they have inflated who this man really is, what he can possibly do…so are they now being biased so as to not stomp on their mistaken prediction of the TYPE of change he could bring to the country? Plain English…are the putting a positive spin on everything about Obama? That’s what I want to know.

In a recent conversation with an associate of mine, we were discussing the inability for people to understand or grasp the concept, that what they were led to believe could possibly be wrong. It creates further blindness in society. They are unwilling to accept what they were warned, and instead continue to ignore what is right in front of their eyes. Now to be fair, the same can be said for the Republican party with Bush his 2 terms, but in my opinion there was a different type of Media spin for him. He was the moron just looking to impress his father in their eyes and they never got off that high horse.

As to not drag out this topic, and not be seen as someone beating a dead horse, let me just conclude by saying this. I am fearful that the Media, the source of information for the majority of America [who don’t know how to look anywhere else for information], will never back down on their initial love for Obama…no matter what. They have created this hero and my fear is, no matter how much his policies go back on our countries foundations…they will never take the blinders off of America.

Jahrootz

The Unfortunate Truth

Dear Airbourne In-forums Readers,

The current global economy is quite concerning. Among many things going on in all of our lives, we have the growing concern that some of us may not have a job in the coming months. None of you are alone with that train of thought. Even the most experienced in his field suffers from stress filled sleepless nights [unless he is naïve to his actual value] that revolve around the very thought, that we are all expandable. I want to ensure all of my readers; you are by far, not alone.

Before you ask, allow me to explain where I am going with this. Tonight, like many nights, I got caught up in a political/economical conversation with someone on the street. This particular conversation was with my neighbor as I tried to sneak out to get my “eyes” from the car. Who would have guessed someone would be smoking at minutes to one in the morning? [Unless you are one of those stressed, suffering from sleepless nights]. I did the polite thing, and I walked over to say “hello and good night” [my father raised me well] and we proceeded to get into a conversation about the financial market [as myself and him always seem to do]. In the midst of our conversation, he proceeded to promote Obama’s promise to bring jobs back from over sea’s to help stimulate the economy [he had a grin of Democratic Triumph when bringing this up] but I kindly reminded him…that the jobs Obama would be “promising” to bring back, were probably not the type of jobs he would be looking to spend his time doing. Yes, times are hard, but how many of us want to use our college degrees to wipe the sweat from our brow as we do manual labour to survive? I stated, in my opinion [of course], that if those were the type of jobs that would be created for the long haul out of our economic crisis, that I would rather struggle on my own and do it as a business owner [which I am doing anyways…]. When you actually think about it, what good would those types of jobs actually do for an individual with a college education? Would it help him get the experience required for the position he would be dreaming about beyond our recession? Would the type of position he is dreaming about, ever really exist independent of the government again? These are all concerns we should be having as a society.

The Unfortunate Truth is, that the answer does not lie within our President and his cabinet of elected thieves. If we continue to turn to any elected official [Republican or Democrat] to come up with the solution for us, then we will truly deserve the end results. I don’t know if any of you noticed…but in the last 16 years, not much has changed in the way of thinking politically and economically from our elected officials. The Unfortunate Truth people, is that society needs to learn to play it smart again. Don’t be fooled by what you are told. America is not the only country in economic hardship. America is not in need of severe action to correct our situation. What America is in need of, is something America has forgotten to do over time. Americans need to learn to look out for each other again. You want to stimulate the American economy? Spend American dollars, on American made products…that way American manufacturing plants can stay open and hire American people. Stop demanding for cheaper goods!!! Where are these cheaper goods usually made? We have Unions that suffocate companies with high pay wages, while all the while Americans are demanding for cheaper end products. How the hell does that work? [I do not support Unions in any way or form. I think they are the destruction of capitalism, and have lost focus on the general purpose for their creation. They will destroy the American economy slowly like a cancer.] We have dug ourselves in to a ‘Class F’ for “F***ed Up” situation.

And to make matters worse, when times get rough, like a butt hole that is suffering from constipation, we tighten up and just allow the problem to build up resulting in a very painful outcome. [I just HAD to say it…lol] The Unfortunate Truth America is that we need to learn from our past mistakes. But since Society likes to turn to those that are considered ‘Great’ for help. Allow me to help you…

Here is my opinion:

We need jobs. We don’t need higher taxes for the rich, what we need is jobs. We need the government to stimulate the private sector in a way that will inject some blood into that ‘limb’ of the country. I am not talking about something that requires governmental control either. What I am speaking of, is the good ol’ capitalistic way of thinking, where you allow business’s to flourish and fail, with the natural cycle of America. Next thing the government can do, is realise who they should be taxing. The man who makes less than 30k a year does not need a tax break. The fact of the matter is, he will not be saving a dime anyways. He will benefit in NO way [long term] from a tax break and neither will the country. What we need to do, is decide what portion of America is the BIGGEST spenders. You know…the type that would stimulate the economy. The type that would buy those American made products. Whatever bracket that falls in, it’s THOSE people that should receive a tax break. Because those are the people MORE likely to spend dollars on our soil, for our by-products, and the last I checked…that is EXACTLY what we need. If people are not spending money, retail will continue to suffer. Those that work in retail [you know, the ones making less than 30k receiving a Tax Break] wont have jobs for very long. Before you know it, the only people working will be the wealthy [those that were smart enough to outsource their wealth] and they will be taxed to take care of those not working or to help fund GOVERNMENT jobs. And I would just like to point out, that in the books I read in university…that equals Socialism.

The Unfortunate truth, my fellow Americans, is if we continue in the direction we are heading, then we will burn over 200 years of American Beliefs and Standards. We may as well have never fought the British for Freedom. The civil war was pointless, as was the civil liberties that the “non-whites” and all females protested for before our time. We have been handed a country by our Forefathers, that we are about to screw up. That is the Unfortunate Truth! No matter who is to blame for our current situation, all we need to do now is think for ourselves. Instead of the government thinking for us…can we please realise the true meaning of a democracy. We control OUR own fate!! They do not need to think for us…we are a country with enough educated minds to know this. Pay attention to what is going on around you, or you will continue to be led down a path none of us will like. For you born to foreigners, like myself, remember why our family is here. Remember what our parents escaped from.

The Unfortunate truth is this will not be easy. So until the Zombies stops allowing themselves to be led to the water, and they starts to find their own way, we are on a path of self destruction. A destruction we will not realise until our grand kids are in charge, and Americans are reading about Capitalism in the history books.

I thank you again for the time you have donated.

Regards from the Highest!
