Statement from the Candidate





In 2010 I ran an unsuccessful campaign for the United States Congress, but I'm still posting blogs that I believe express an opinion that most other people miss, and that I also believe can make America great again and cast off the yoke of liberal/progressive control that is currently in place.

Democrats Only Choose Policy That Increases Dependence On Big Government

 

Why do Democrats oppose school choice? Because when parents are able to send their children to a better school than the one that’s located nearest their home, they become less dependent on big government and big government’s (usually failing) schools. And if children attend a private school of their parents’ choosing they get an education that is superior to what government schools offer, and the resulting graduation of educated students from these better schools means they will get better jobs and have a much reduced dependence on government later in life, than those students who attended government schools.

As one listens to Democrats making their speeches at the Democrat National Convention, you get a never-ending flow of government solutions to poverty, crime and joblessness, most of which social maladies were unheard of only a few years ago when neighborhood schools actually taught students the things they will need in their post-grad lives. This constant harangue of pro-government propaganda pretends that there are no private, non-government solutions to the many problems facing today’s society. And it’s all just another big government, Democrat, lie.

A government that cares about the many problems facing young citizens these days would demand that students attend a good school and get a proper education in order to prosper in the future, instead of demanding that free choice in schooling not be allowed. But Democrats speak only of how government can best run everyone’s lives and bail them out when they find themselves on the street with nowhere to go, instead of preventing the social catastrophes in the first place. Less government is the best government, and everyone benefits when we don’t need government for our personal issues at all.

The stark reality of the line of crap coming from Democrat speakers at the DNC is spoken by Democrats who attended the best schools and often have become wealthy as a result. But instead of using their experience to enlighten and warn young people of the bad results that government schools offer, and instead of encouraging them to work hard in order to achieve, they are told to depend on government.

Government politicians are only thinking of their own future as government bureaucrats, making a big salary “helping” people who were allowed to enter their adult lives with little education and even less success in their personal work and family lives. And that’s why Donald Trump needs to whittle down the DC swamp when he takes the White House in January, 2025.
