Pious talk about "giving back" distracts our attention from the cold fact that politicians are taking away more and more of our money and our freedom."</i>Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1400985529434569506.post-77384704310435908842012-07-19T15:03:03.216-04:002012-07-19T15:03:03.216-04:00I think the issue is not so much as who deserves c...I think the issue is not so much as who deserves credit for the creation of business and wealth as it is how do you organize a society and economy to produce the most wealth for the most people. Free market capitalism is the way to do that.<br /><br />Obama's approach is to use money to obtain political support. But that is eventually going to bankrupt the country as we see happening in Europe. If you take money from productive people and use it to pay people who are unproductive you create incentives to be unproductive. I'm not saying we shouldn't have a social safety net - but Obama's way of doing it might get him votes but it is not sustainable in the long term.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1400985529434569506.post-43495967250690354762012-07-19T02:52:37.171-04:002012-07-19T02:52:37.171-04:00Generally agree with the other commenters here, ex...Generally agree with the other commenters here, except to say the polling predictions seen are deliberate prevarications designed to keep as many faithful on the reservation as long as possible - maybe even up to November.

Whe...Social contracts are set somewhat arbitrarily. When you get married you undertake certain responsibilities about what will happen if the marriage breaks up. If one person earns and the other keeps house, then the earner will likely have to pay alimony if there is a divorce. Is this fair? Is it good for society? <br /><br />If a person starts a company and hires workers, the responsibilities of the owner to the employees is determined according to social custom, well, law that reflects social custom. However it is arbitrary. Why aren't employees guaranteed equity for their work? Artists had to demand royalties but now we consider it only fair that they get them. Why don't engineers or royalties from their companies? Because they don't demand them and force owners to pay them. <br /><br />However what Obama wants is rich people to pay more taxes to make the government more powerful. If he cared about workers he would be discussing the social contract between workers and employers not about taxes.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1400985529434569506.post-29833878426270456412012-07-18T11:24:37.219-04:002012-07-18T11:24:37.219-04:00Nothing new here.

They received 10 cents on the dollar while the UAW got its pension system funded. There are countless other instances of his scorched earth policies yet his electoral base is around 45 percent.

Too many have no skin in the game so it is easy to understand why the socialist holds favor with so many. For those people, everything is going along as planned.<br /><br />As for our faux president I have this to say... I built it and you cannot have it.
