Ignorance On Weath From Liberals

I was watching a Frank Luntz focus group on Fox News and the topic moved to how can we fix the debt issue. The perceptions and philosophy between liberals and conservatives couldn't have been more stark. The consistent argument liberals gave was that we had to increase revenues to the federal government in order to fix the debt issue. Oh, sure, they gave some lip service to making cuts. But I nearly went through the roof when one woman said that she didn't understand why we keep talking about cuts when we also have to increase the money coming in, and that if the top 1% are making so much why they can't give back a little more. Give back? Excuse me? Give back to whom?

Let me explain something. When we work for a business we earn the money that the business is paying us. The business draws customers in to purchase---spending money THEY earned---the product or service the business sells. So, if I happen to be the business owner, making the top 1% of all wage-earners, exactly who does this ignorant liberal think I should be giving it back to? Certainly not the people who paid for my product or service. They wouldn't have paid the price I asked if they didn't believe it was worth it. So, where do we give this money "back" to? I would have loved to have asked that woman. I am convinced that she and most liberals believe that, as President Obama actually said, there comes a time when a person has made enough money, that anything above this magical threshold should go to the government to redistribute to those making less. In other words, redistribution of wealth.

This is disgusting and unacceptable. Government it too big because it's created a culture of entitlements and dependency. I maintain that most of government, particularly federal government, has grown to unconstitutional levels. Liberals have been allowed to abuse the commerce clause of the Constitution and the concept of "general welfare", stretching them well beyond what our founders had in mind. There is no way that we are entitled to all the things that liberals insist. Federal government was designed to only have the very limited and very specific responsibilities and authority granted it in the Constituion. Everything else goes to the states or the citizens.

"Give back"? You have no right to make that demand. Period.

Anthony Weiner Should Resign

It's that simple, folks. First off, shame on every single one of you who take that stance "well, it's his private business and we shouldn't care about what he does in his personal life". Let me tell you something: he's an elected official. ALL elected officials should be held to a much higher standard. To be honest, all of US should be held to a higher standard. I'm sick of people playing to the lowest common denominator. Someone tell me exactly what there is to be proud of when we behave this way? How does this kind of disgusting behavior better us? How can anyone put the future of this nation in the hands of people who can't even manage their own lives?

HE LIED, folks. He admist now that he lied from the start. He faked being all upset. It was all a show. There was absolutely no remorse there. What you saw was someone caught completely red handed and he's sorry he got caught. Now, to be fair, I absolutley do NOT give conservatives a pass when we discover their reprehensible behavior. But here's a major difference: liberals don't find anything wrong with it! In fact, liberals routinely parade and celebrate such behavior. Where is the shame in this nation? Even IF we overlooke the adultery (which, according to scripture, is exactly what Anthony Weiner participated in), the man LIED to EVERYONE. Exactly how is this someone we want running government?

Congressman Weiner is wrong. He DID do something to warrant his resignation. Anyone who thinks he shouldn't resign needs to re-examine their standards. What are you using as your moral compass -- Jersey Shore, Desperate Housewives?
