(Dec. 15, 2024) — Only a power-mongering Socialist like Bernie Sanders would ridicule millionaires and billionaires while squirreling away multiple millions in personal wealth in addition to four homes, none of which was garnered by honest toil! Every single dime Sanders ever made was from tax dollars or the convenient access to insider information that lands the rest of us in prison!
Every single Socialist nation has created and fostered a de facto Caste system with the Keepers/Stewards/Masters, skimming the cream for themselves while sprinkling the curds amongst the unwashed.
Only a Constitutional form of government supporting a Capitalist economy allows the whole of society a chance to dream and to seek to employ their gifts and talents to improve their lives, no matter what Gene Roddenberry and George Bernard Shaw tried to tell us.
No matter the government or the societal vision, there will NEVER be an equal dispensing of wealth or accumulation. Even if we allowed the brutally hypocritical Sanders-types to divvy up the sum total of wealth among the population, the outcome would still be non- uniform being as some are thrifty, others entrepreneurial, visionary, and others, entirely irresponsible and even self-destructive.
But the single most destructive thing to societal peace, prosperity and industriousness is the intentional sowing of Covetousness, the jealousy of others’ gains leading to a hatred of them for it.
To be sure, none of this is unique to the USA; it has been common to all men for the entire length of human history: the Industrious, the Entitled Lazy, the Soulless Opportunist needling the latter for his own cynical, greedy, shiftless, unproductive, evil gain.
Stop segregating Americans by group.
Stop judging people by group.
Stop envying what others have.
Stop giving the Sanderses among us a microphone.
Concentrate on optimizing and exploiting your gifts
Glean lessons from those who precede you.
Silence the Sanderses among you, i.e., don’t listen!!
Save more than you spend.
Learn to revere the unique freedom and RIGHTS we have here.
Be careful who you place on pedestals, i.e., familiarity breeds contempt –
“All have Sinned and Fall Short of the Glory of God” – Rom 3:23
“As it is written, there is none Righteous; not-even-one.” – Rom 3:10
Don’t give the Sanderses among us an ear, a microphone, legitimacy, credence or time, and don’t let anyone encourage you to denigrate the Originalists’ intent of the Constitution – ever! If you sully one dot or tittle, you set precedence to question any other part – or the whole.
We are one People, granted the Right to exploit our God-given talents. Some will become billionaires; most won’t. And that’s truly equitable in that we are all afforded a chance, no matter what the NYC scheister sojourning in Vermont says!!
