Why Is It Being Kept Alive Part 2

After a lot of thought and some gentle encouragement from my Dad I’ve decided take my last blog entry out a bit farther. I’ve stated before there are several reasons why the Government and Special Interest Groups would want to promote the continuing of the welfare class. Unfortunately with recent news out of Atlanta they are doing a great job of doing just that. Spokesmen from the section 8 housing authority were claiming a success when instead of the 10,000 people they expected to turnout to receive applications for future section 8 housing, there were 30,000 people that turned out. This was not even for housing; this was just for application for future housing. Why would you claim a success if 3 times more people were in dire need then what you expected? Wouldn’t that tell you that some of the policies of the Government, both local and Federal, were not getting people out of poverty, instead they are putting more people in poverty. The more people that are in poverty or on the welfare rolls the more control the Government will have over their lives. So back on track and to prove the point that the Government is more concerned with control then they are the people. In reasoning this through I came to realize, with insight from my Dad, OK, he actually pointed me in the right direction like a good Father should; anyhow, there is an amazing parallel to history of our own nation that we are living in.

In the early part of our countries history the Southern States believed in slavery, it was a way of life. Some slave owners only looked at the slaves as tools, as another tool for them to use on their plantations to ensure their crops made it to market. Other slave owners actually felt they had a duty to take care of the blacks, to protect them from all the harmful things they could not handle on their own. They had this belief that the black race was not smart enough to take care of themselves, they were only smart enough to take orders and carry them out. By taking care of the blacks the Plantation owners benefited in many ways. The benevolent owners tended to have happier workers, this created fewer problems on the Plantation and in some cases it even promoted a sense of loyalty. In general slave owners also benefited from the labor of their slaves financially but the benevolent ones also benefited in the social circles, they could stand proud in their social circles with their benevolence, when in the truth they were getting ahead in life on the strong backs and hard work of other individuals. In the early south they realized that they had to control the black population to continue the manipulation. The legislative body of the Southern States went so far as to pass laws making it illegal to educate blacks, they wanted to prevent blacks from learning enough to realize that what was being done to them went against natural law, if they gained knowledge they would be able to do things for themselves and they would understand what was being done to them. Does any of this sound familiar?

MICHELLE OBAMA: "Barack knows that we are going to have to make sacrifices; we are going to have to change our conversation; we're going to have to change our traditions, our history; we're going to have to move into a different place as a nation."

Michelle Obama’s statement shows exactly what is going on with the Government. Don’t get me wrong, it’s been going on for quite a while; it’s just that in the last couple of years the pace has been stepped up. Since the Department of Education split from the Department of Health, Education and Welfare under the Carter administration in 1979 our education system has changed. It used to be that we taught our children the things they needed to succeed in life. It has now evolved so that we teach our children what it takes to pass to the next grade or to be able to pass the college admission tests, regardless of whether they can write a check of figure out their gas mileage, or be able to fill out a tax return, you know, the things that all of us end up having to do in life. There has been a movement growing across America for the past couple of decades, a movement towards kindler gentler handling of our children, everyone gets a trophy, everyone passes, no using red pens when grading papers, children have more rights then the parents, etc… It’s been blamed on the left wing liberal tree huggers, but in reality it has been every administration that has been in office over the past 3 or 4 decades. It’s just part of the plan to completely enslave the American people. I started to say the American working class, but that’s not right, they want to enslave us all, starting with our children. If our children are brainwashed in the school systems that everyone should succeed, not that everyone has the opportunity to succeed, but that everyone should succeed and that there are no failing grades, then they are being set up for utter and complete failure when they get out in the real world. When they fail at the hands of the evil capitalists or the evil constitutionalists then the Government can come in and bail them out, be the big hero, its part of the plan.

I’ve used education as an example only because that is where it starts. Look at what has happened to industry in this country; the unions are being supported by the Government in their takeover of every industry and service they can get their hands on. When the union has control no longer does the individual have control of their destiny. The Government while they may not actually own them, they have gotten control over the housing mortgage market through Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac, they have control in the auto industry through GM, they have has control over the rail and air travel for decades. All of this leads to control over what Americans as individuals can do. As the Government seizes power and grows in size it needs more money to operate and more money to throw at the peasants to keep them happy, and yes, that is all the concern they have, they want us happy so we will vote for them. In order to gain this money they have to increase the hold they have on the people. In today’s society that means increasing taxes. With each increase in taxes we have an increased hold on the American people. With each increase in the Federal Deficit and the Federal Debt it’s an increase on the hold of the American people. In Colonial America and the early American history we had indentured servitude. Indentured servitude meant that you owed your life to someone for a set number of years in payment for some service that was provided to you, at the end of that time your debt was paid. In some cases you also ended up with a small stake of land to start a new life on. Indentured servitude led to slavery in America. The difference being that there was no light at the end of the tunnel for slaves, there was no end date when the contract was satisfied. Well we are at that point again; there is no end date when this debt that the Federal Government has run up will be paid. This debt will not fail on the wallets of those in Congress; it falls on our wallets and the wallets of who knows how many generations to follow. This means we are becoming a nation of slaves, we are forever working for the financial gain of our master, not ourselves with no end in sight. At least as an indentured servant we could look forward to paying off our debt in seven years and starting a life of our own on our measly 40 acres, not so today, we are slaves, the very thing that this country tore itself apart about in the late 1800’s, only today instead of the Government trying to abolish slavery, they are the slave holders. The individual sovereign States are no more so there will be no secession to fight this tyranny, or will there?

There are other ways the Government is working to recreate slavery in this country. Slavery prevented people from doing for themselves, slavery made the slaves beholding to their master. When the Government started the welfare program we know today they were enticing people to be beholding to the Government. Every week more people are going on unemployment; every week more people are going on some form of Government welfare; every week more people are becoming slaves to the Government. Over several generations the Government created a class of people that believe that welfare is their right and that is the way they want to live. They don’t stop to think of where that money comes from, they don’t care where that money comes from. As the number of people on welfare and unemployment increases there are fewer and fewer in the workplaces that are supporting them. Already we are seeing a huge deficit in the taxes that are being paid and the amount of money that is being paid out in the form of social programs, sooner or later those of us that are still trying to be responsible for our own destiny, those of us that are trying to be individuals will be paying more in taxes then we are earning; we will eventually be forced to take Government assistance to survive. When that happens where will the money come from? Does anyone really believe that the Plantation foreman, the union bosses, are going to sit around and let the Masters pocket book suffer because the slaves are just sitting around not working? We are headed to a country that chooses jobs for people, jobs based on skills or strength, not on personal choice. We will be required to work and what support we get will be determined by the Government, not by your own drive and desires.

Am I way off in left field with this? Some will say yes, probably those that are being taken care of by the Government, or those that are on hard times and believe the Government should see them through. The truth is that if we depend on the Government to take care of us this outlandish scenario is where we are headed. It will be better on us all if we take back our individualism now, learn to do for ourselves, accept jobs that we consider to be beneath us, stop expecting every thing to come to us on a silver platter and suffer a little now rather then a lot later.
