Dr. Adrian Rodgers said, "You cannot legislate the poor into freedom by legislating the wealthy out of freedom. What one person receives without working for, another person must work for without receiving...You cannot multiply wealth by dividing it."

This country was set up for those who had the will to become prosperous by their ingenuity and hard work, not to just have it taken away and given to people who choose to refuse to work from the womb to the tomb. Just because a family business out of their home went to an office, then a company, and finally a corporation; these generations it took to become prosperous should not be punished by being forced by the government to pay 70% of their income back into taxes to cover for those who choose to do nothing with their lives. That goes completely against what this country was established under.
*
I think it is a disgrace that this country's government continually rewards these people by giving them free housing which they trash within 5 or 6 years costing the tax payers billions of dollars over the country; free "food" cards which they can use at "certain" stores that record the cigarettes and alcohol they purchase under other identification numbers; young girls (12, 13) having 6 or 7 children by the time they are in their mid twenties (and not really remembering who any of the different fathers are) just to collect money from the government (not to mention the children being put on to Medicaid of which their parents have never contributed a cent to the system, but are sucking it dry causing those who have paid into it all their lives to get less if any benefits by the time they reach 66 if that age isn't raised higher by the government.) They receive free cell phones and service. Obama wanted to give "them" free cars and auto insurance when he first came into office! The congress wonders why the country is going under when you have 46% of the population not contributing to the tax base and they're bankrupting the other 54% by over taxing to pay for those who refuse to work! It may not be listed in the income tax, but it surely is listed in everything else you purchase; food, gasoline, electric bills, water bills, cable bills, phone bills, clothing, everything people purchase today has an added tax to cover for those who don't pay anything, but the government gives them everything at the tax payer's expense! The government makes more money this way than going the income tax route! And, on top of that they are coming out with new legislation that would do away with those things we were always in the past able to claim off our income taxes!
*
It's time every thing came to a screeching halt. The Bible does say in II Thess. 3:10, "If you don't work, you don't eat!" It's time that this country went back to people being responsible for themselves and those they bring into the world. If the government refuses to do so, the working people need to go back to trading the oranges off their tree for another person's eggs that their hens lay; you fix my car, I'll fix your roof, etc. No exchange of money to be taxed.
*
You wonder where the inventions have disappeared that would have your entire house running on its on electrical power from different simple independent sources, your automobile running off of water with more power than gasoline. All of this would make people self-sufficient, something the government doesn't want because they could no longer receive taxes from it.
*
The government has gotten to powerful over the people. That again goes against the Constitution. It's government by the people. When these senators vote in things that don't allow the people their freedoms, the people should immediately be able to vote against their decisions without having to wait for four years. Senators have just gotten too sloppy with having too many different things composed within their writing of laws. I wouldn't be surprised that the earthquake that occurred in Washington D.C. and up the coast wasn't the forefathers rolling over in their graves at the ridiculousness of today's congressional bickering! I think one of my previous blogs said it all with the statement that said, "Go GREEN, Recycle Congress!"

Amen to your post. There is so much wrong. There are jobs if you want one. It may be doing something that you may not wnat to do.
I was raised by hard working parents and Marvin and I are also hard workers as are our kids. We know that money does not grow on trees. Thanks for a great post.
Hope you are doing well. I am just worn out from last weekend and I have a cold.
Have a great weekend!
Blessings & Love
Janet
I agree with you too, Janet. There are jobs all over, but people believe it is "below" them to do those kinds of jobs; hotel maids, kitchen help, etc. My grandparents were share croppers. My parents were hard workers. My mom was a "salad girl" as they called it in the days of the '50 and '60. She also worked at the bank as well as bookkeeper at different companies as well as our churches. My dad had a 10th grade education even though he learned much from being in the Navy for 20 years. He also worked as a welder, handyman, propane man, security guard, diver for an Oceanography company. We were raised in trailors all of our lives and I knew no different. It was warm, dry, and all I needed when growing up. My brother and I both started working when we were 16 besides going to school full time. It was the only way we could get a car. My parents didn't have the money to buy us cars, yet it also taught us to respect what we bought to take care of those things. It's a shame that many kids today expect their parents to give them so much (and they usually do) without them contributing anything. It is a wonderful thing when parents like you, Jim and Nellie raise their children to the importance of work.
I'm doing well too. I'm praying for your restored strength and healing for your cold.
Love to you and yours too,
Susan
Hi Girlie,
I always loved hearing Adrian Rogers, he was a dynamite preacher.
We heard from Dee Friday evening, but just for a few minutes, they were married at 4P.M. on Friday,
and she said they decorated things up much more than she would have expected, and they had a nice romantic dinner on the beach. Want hear from her again probably until next Thursday when they leave for their next destination. She sounded very happy!! Just spoke for a few minutes as it is very expensive to call from there, plus didn't want to keep her from Jerry.
Don't know if she will have any wedding pics when they come home yet or not, but hopefully,
the wedding video at least, and maybe pics too,
that would be great!
Jim's old boss Bob is gonna come take pics for
us, so I am having our family come at 5 P.M., so
that we can get our pics done before everyone
else arrives, that way we can be setting up food
and stuff while they are taking pics.
You want need to go to Olive Garden cause the kids told us about an Italian restaurant over near where Scott and Megan live that has really great food, and their prices were much more reasonable, so Scott and Megan said they would pick it up if we ordered it there.
I am gonna call you tomorrow or Tuesday, thought you might like to help me make some favors for the guests. They are like lil boxes you put together and then put candy in, and put a tag on then tie in a bow. It will proabably been in the afternoon cause I have been working outside while it is cool in the morning.
We got the porch cleaned real well on Saturday and we got the sealer so we are gonna seal it tomorrow when Jim gets home. I might do around the edges earlier with a paint brush. Will see!
Talk with you soon hon,
Love ya, Nellie
