Will America “flourish or perish”?

By Oscar Y. Harward

The USA is approaching a moment in time whereas Americans are being forced in making a critical decision of survival on our “precious” nation.  Will Americans “humble themselves” and become more “self-sufficient” while separating themselves from government’s demands and privileges, thus allowing and endorsing our nation to, again, “flourish” within a “free and open” Constitutional economy. 

As legislated primarily by Capitol Hill Democrats, our nation’s “out-of-control” government spending is nearing the brink of a “total fiscal disaster”.  Currently, some 47% of Americans pay no Federal income taxes.  What this means is that each “taxpayer” in the 53% are forced to pay enormous taxes in support of another member as one of the 47% “non-taxpayers” or (y)our government borrows this massive amount of money from China and others.  Taxpayers who belong to the 53% that pay Federal income taxes have had their “income taxes increase” and “stretched to their extreme”. 

The 47% who pay no Federal income taxes represents 3 or more Groups: 

1.    Mostly those who have earned their way, are retired, and/or invested in tax programs designed to keep others government’s bonds at a low rate, and/or entrepreneurs investing in programs to make new jobs or expanding more existing jobs for our labor force within our “free and open” economy. 

2.    Some who have “fallen through the cracks” as those who are handicapped or have become disabled, otherwise. 

3.    A third group, perhaps “useless”, may represent others who may be “too lazy” in any effort to seek a job, refuse to work hard and/or smart, and unwilling to become a permanent asset employee to the employer.  Others in the 47% group earn money “under-the-table”; selling illegal drugs, gambling, committing crime(s), etc. 

It is the 3^rd Group that is most “detested” by America’s “working taxpayers”.  Why should most employees who have initiatives to “work harder and smarter”, to advance and build a better life for themselves and their families, only for government to take it away, give it to those that belong in a group as referred to in the 3^rd Group as “useless”, and waste massive expenditures?  It is a large part of the 47% group who are damaging and/or destroying our nation and who now “votes for a living”. 

Capitol Hill Democrats have led the way in “enlarging our government”.  Capitol Hill Democrats have “bought and sold” peoples’ needs by passing laws providing “all the needs, to “all the people”, “all the time”.  Our government spending and extended entitlements are “out-of-control”.   There is an “emergency must” for government to cut back on spending and other government agency administrative abuses. 

Are Capitol Hill Democrats willing to implement a “turnaround” to save our nation?  I doubt it.  Are many of the 47% who pay no Federal taxes willing to accept less out of government privileges to save our nation?  We will wait and see!  Those who believe in Constitutional “liberty for all” will vote accordingly. 

Many of these Americans who “vote for a living” have a fallacious belief that the continuous spending in our USA will continue.  Many of these “useless” think that as long as the money and entitlements are coming to me, everything is OK.  If our fiscal economy fails, and we are near the break of our “fiscal failure”, the poor will become deprived and hungry, even “starving for food”, as often seen in African nations on television and in magazines pictures. 

Our utmost hope is for a majority of American voters to see, understand, and correct the nearing “sunset” by voting on November 6, 2012 to defeat all “self-serving liberals” before it is too late.  With that correction, our USA will see other “sunrises of tomorrows” for our children, our grandchildren, their children, etc. 

It is now up to the American voters.  Will our nation “flourish or perish”? 

God Bless America!
