One
will recall Barack Obama and Elizabeth Warren putting down and
denigrating the businesses established by people of forethought and
intelligence who, as entrepreneurs and industrialists, have built
their dream, employed tens of millions of people and improved the
lives of all Americans. These leftists believed that the electricity,
natural gas, water and the roads that allowed businesses to be
established and prosper were provided by government and not by the
efforts of past entrepreneurs. President Obama and Senator Warren
clearly stated that America’s past entrepreneurs “didn’t build
that”. Well, they did build this great nation with their hard work
and intelligence, and socialists can only make their big-government,
socialist points if they are successful in making Americans believe
that only the government can create wealth. In fact the opposite is
true: the government can only create poverty and envy for those who
go on the dole, and people who establish for-profit businesses create
wealth for themselves and all who work for them and buy their
products.
So
for Henry Ford, Thomas Edison, Bill Gates, Oprah Winfrey or any
other entrepreneur who set up a business and created jobs that have
improved the lives of all Americans, for those entrepreneurs to be
credited with the businesses they built, is just phony rhetoric if
you believe America’s big-government leftists like Obama, Warren
and Bernie Sanders, whose Socialist position is that all jobs and all
wealth are provided by government, and individuals whose intelligence
and hard work provide millions of jobs and create vast wealth that
benefits the entire nation, have no part to play in a successful
nation.
Currently
we see a serious push from liberal Democrats who insist that we let
all of the poor people of the world enter America and settle here,
even though they did not build the wealth that they will be enjoying
when they get here. And if they don’t have the skills to further
this wealth by getting a good job when they arrive, they’ll end up
on welfare, which is exactly what Democrats want them to do. We don’t
need this kind of immigrants here, and they should be kept out.
What
is the logic behind these uneducated and impoverished immigrants
insisting on coming here and benefiting from our nation’s wealth if
they did nothing to help build our nation and improve it? The only
logic is that liberal Democrats want more Democrat-voting, dependent,
poor people here to keep them in office. But Obama and Elizabeth
themselves stated it best: “they didn’t build that”, so they
should not enter.
Similarly
socialists, like today’s Democrat politicians, take advantage of
America’s wealth and political stability, which is assured by our
constitution, even though they did nothing to build our great nation,
and do very little to protect and preserve our constitution once they
are in office. Per the Democrats’ own argument, they didn’t build
the constitution and do precious little to protect it, so why should
they be allowed to serve in responsible governmental positions when
all they do is trash the constitution when they do take office?
