Americans Are Moving From Personal Responsibility to Governmental Care - Can We Survive?

America is moving towards a socialistic country, will the 50 percent become 51 percent during the 2012 Election?

Change is coming.  Winds are blowing. People are changing. Leaders are meeting. More and more, "We the People," are moving from personal responsibility to governmental care.  With the economy falling, many who were once self sufficient are now relying on their government for their daily needs.  As you move more and more citizens over to relying on their government for their basics needs, you move closer and closer to a socialist form of government.

We are indeed a county that is moving toward the production, distribution, and exchange of wealth.  Each day we hear our leader crying out for socialism to cure the ills of our country.  With the majority of its citizens now dependent on their government to provide for their basic needs the balance is about to tip over into the need for a socialistic from of government to solve our ills. 

At this point in time, over 50 percent of our fellow citizens now are on one or more of the following government programs; food stamps, housing allotments, medical coverage, infant care, dental coverage, government housing, MediCare, MediCaid, Free or Reduced Breakfast, Free or Reduced Lunches, and the list goes on and on. While each of these programs began in response to a real need they have become a crutch for so many that personal responsibility no longer is a goal to achieve. Once developed for a stop gap measure these programs are now entrenched into our government forever.  From the cradle to the grave, fellow citizens continue to suckle at the mighty governmental teat as a way of life.

People that never before needed to rely upon their government for basic needs are now getting used to not working and becoming dull to the notion that they should provide for themselves and their families.  With each new give away and reporting of public failure, the dulling of personal freedom and responsibility is disappearing. Each time the government pays for a need, the governmental sucker moves away from self achievement and personal care into the sheep line that is following socialistic way of life.  This mindset is dangerous.

To rely upon the government for your basic needs is dangerous.  For what the government gives you the government can take away from you. Once you become dependent on the government you will do what is necessary to keep your support coming from them.  But more important than that is the the government can keep you in line by threatening to take away your government way of life if you do not vote for a certain party.   When the 50 percent number becomes 51 percent we will indeed become a socialistic country.  At 51 percent the sucking sheep become a voting majority.  The 51 percent will get out and vote to keep their checks coming in! One more percent and there will be more voters sucking from the governmental teat than are not sucking from the teat.

The 2012 election will be a turning point for our country.  If you are a citizen that is tired of the direction our country is heading towards,  do us all a favor and go VOTE.  Many feel that going to vote in this year’s election is not worth their time or effort, that is a falsehood. This government wants to stay in power for four more years to complete the transition from a republic country to a socialist from of government.   They are so ready to claim a socialist victory because they know the disgusted working class voters, of this great America, have sat home on election day claiming that, ”My vote does not count anymore,  I can not change the system, and I just don't want to get involved,” which works into their overall plan for victory.  This attitude has gone on for too many years.  The sleeping giant, the governmental leaders of socialism, have bided their time and quietly and earnestly courted our fellow citizens by going out and registering the governmental sheep,  picking them up and carry them to the polls this year.  Why do we not see those who believe in a republic form of government loading up their neighbors and carrying them to the voting polls?  We believe in personal responsibility not governmental care.   

Yes, the 2012 election will be a turning point in our countries history.  I have said many times that if you do not have a high school diploma I do not want you determining my future.  In other words, if you can not finish high school, I believe you do not have the right to determine your fellow citizens furture by allowing you voting rights. A basic education should be the least of requirements we demand for a voting citizen.  We will either stay a republic or complete the socialistic transition.  What will you be doing on election day? Will you be watching the sheep at the voting polls on your TV on election night change this country forever or will you be exercising your right to vote to keep our country a republic?  Educate yourself and VOTE!  No consequence - No Change.
