Barrack Obama

He can't help it. It is in his nature. Like all compassionate Democrats, Barrack Obama talks to people with problems and promises to help fix them.

Barrack Obama believes the a compassionate politician in Washington DC can solve people's problems by redirecting the priorities of the $2.65 trillion federal budget to the people that really need it.

To think that a single person could understand how to help tens of millions of people is quite arrogant, but thinking the Government would be able to provide enough money to change their lives is quite astonishing. But he believes he can do it.

A similar belief system is possessed by Representative Stephanie Herseth. She has a plan to solve everyone's problems. She listens, she hugs and she cries, and then sets about changing the laws of this country--albeit on a much smaller scale than Barrack Obama. Again, it is quite astonishing that someone believes the Federal Government can be used to solve individuals problems.

For example, it is difficult for seniors to live on Social Security payments. Set aside the fact that Social Security was not designed to be a retirement plan and imagine that Barrack Obama wanted to give each person $100. With 55 million retirees in 2014, the cost of that proposal would be $5.5 billion. Now $100 isn't going to change any of their lives, but $100 per month could really help right? The Democrat mind works by making a difference in millions of peoples lives at a tune of $66 billion.

Unfortunately, the realities of human nature always get in the way of government solutions. Whenever a government starts down the path of taking from one group to give to another, a disincentive to produce is created. If $1 is earned, but $1 is taken, the incentive to produce a dollar has been eliminated.

The role of government is to get encourage productivity, not punish it.

Barrack Obama doesn't understand this basic principle. He will propose spending a record amount of money and this will hurt Senator Tim Johnson--the same Tim Johnson that voted for the largest tax increase in history in 1993.
