Now, for all you who are saying: “they were forced off their land by the invading white man and put on reservations where their culture was destroyed.” The Americans I am referring to, are those who you blame for the aforementioned.
Those Americans who brought forth this nation, Those Americans who expanded it from sea to sea; who created the industrial revolution; and who defended their way of life and the entire nation from enemies here and abroad. Where have they gone?
They have been kidnapped by a political party and a government that believe the Americans I speak of, were evil and corrupt. For years the Americans I speak of have been held hostage and have been held back because of government regulations and controls imposed on businesses and industry. Outdated unions have forced businesses and industry to move their activities to other countries, because to remain in this country would make it impossible to function.
Today’s Americans have been educated to believe the government will take care of them. If you fail, the government will bail you out. If you want something you cannot afford, the government will make sure you get it.
As for those few Americans who have not been kidnapped, or refuse to believe the government is their keeper, they are blamed for destroying the planet. They are accused of wanting dirty air, dirty water, and the poor to die, rather than have free health care.
I say: bring back the smokestacks! Smokestacks mean industry has returned to the USA, and jobs are back. Bring back oil rigs in the gulf and the seas and in the plains and the forests of Alaska. That means there are more jobs and freedom from Middle East oil.
I say: the voters who are not beholden to the government need to inform the government to revamp their benefit programs, the income tax system, and to eliminate the Departments of Labor, Education, Transportation, Health, and Commerce. The government of the PEOPLE and for the PEOPLE is just that. The people are not the servers of the government, but just the opposite.
It is time for those Americans left, who remember what it means to achieve a goal through hard work, to do all they can to educate others, and to put the government on notice. We want our country back.
