American Individual, Its Decision Time!!!!

OK,
Let us drop all the Obama and Bush bashing for the moment. The question of Obama or Bush is a symptom not the root of an issue.

This is the root of the issues....this is the root of a great many issues.

Are you ready????? Here it is!!!! What is the role and responsibility of the individual adult and what is the same for government??

Can we agree on the following: Your money is compensation from an entity for time from your life and labor traded to that entity. Generally, everything you own is purchased from that money that you have earned. Therefore your property represents parts of your life.

Resultingly, any tax is the involuntary taking of part of your life by the various levels of government.

It is proper and right that we pay taxes for the maintenance of the government itself, common defense, policing and enforcing of constitutional law, etc.

Now the sticky point. What is the role of government in taking care of the individual? Is the answer None? Is it Retirement and Old age medical care?? (Social Security and Medicare) Is it full medical care from birth to death? Should government provide all the necessities of life that are the primary pursuits of primitive man??

First: If None, then those who are proven unable to meet the challenges of existence will be at the mercy of the charity of others. Those most able will live in luxury.

Second: If government is to provide for all basic needs, then we will have to be willing to pay 70% of all of our income right off the top. We will almost all have the same house, the same everything regardless of individuality. We will also have to be willing to let the government assume a parental role in our lives. The idea of private property will have to go in this case.

Those are the two most polarized choices.

Just know that human nature will not allow the second choice to succeed for any period of time.
