Who is the enemy of the people?

I’m so sick and tired of all the talk lately about how terrible it is to be rich in America and how people who worked hard, made tremendous sacrifices and risked their own capital to acquire the American dream are somehow evil. The question we Americans should be asking ourselves is why we have so many so-called poor.

Well I’ll tell you why. For generations we’ve had a federal government whose own policies created millions of underclass poor and guaranteed their plight for perpetuity. Policies like paying for illegitimate births assuring poverty for generations of millions of devastated lives. How about a federal government that for decades let millions of poor uneducated illegal immigrants overrun our southern border, while drastically limiting the number of desperately needed engineers and scientists, doctors and professionals from all over the world. How about a government, through the Department of Education, that single-handedly dumbed down 40 years of school children. At the same time, many ill-prepared students were conned into useless college degrees, while jobs for machinists, pipe fitters, welders, etc., go begging.

And the list of federal government failures is endless. But in reality these weren’t failures. These were successes of a socialist government doing what socialist governments and crony capitalists have done for centuries: creating a large underclass who will keep them in power because they have no other option. While I agree with some of what the bozos occupying Wall Street are advocating, you have fashioned the wrong enemy. It’s time to Occupy Washington, D.C.
