Firstly, I’d like to thank Paul Epps for giving me this space on his web site to express my humble views. He is a real American.
What concerns me today is that a candidate for president, Barack Obama, has said that he wants to “spread the wealth around” in America.
It was a long time ago, but let me remind those of you who didn’t pay attention in history class that we founded this country as a rebellion against a too-powerful government. We believed in — and fought for — self-reliance and freedom, including the economic freedom to earn a dollar and spend it any way you want to.
When someone tells you that he is going to decide how much money you can earn before he starts taking it away from you and giving it to someone else, that man is a scoundrel.
And when Americans — the descendants of rebels and revolutionaries — can listen to this and fail to rise up in dissent, it makes me want to vomit for what this once-great nation has become.
