I do despair. I have always been an optimistic person. But I have to say, I am not raising my kids to pursue the traditional "work hard and be honest" formula for happiness and success. The college education route? Owning your own business? Wealth and retirement? Big family?
I am teaching them to be good Christians, then good family leaders, then be greedy about your own family, then get what you can, then help others as you are able. Hide your goodies and figure out how to reconcile that with our Christian Faith....
It's still a work in progress. But I know my kids have to get into the military at some point so they can put Government worker on their resumes.
I really want to believe otherwise. But I fear we have already lost and from this point forward, it's just a numbers game. The laws are different for the working class and ruling class. Common sense was apparently a passing fad. There are more victims these days than there have ever been crimes committed. There are few honorable folks left and there is little pride left or knowledge of our founding charter.
I look forward to someone convincing me there is hope yet and that our best days may yet be ahead of us.... at least for my children's sake.
I pray that it is not just a numbers game at this point.
I hear businessmen.. such as the founder of Sonic or other huge Corporations say they could not have started out under these regulations.
And I wonder.. what all opportunities are we missing because pols like Obummer are holding the business man down?
You’re smart. It’s obvious the West is collapsing. The USA, UK, France, all the Western nations are dying. What the future holds....who knows. But it won’t be anything like 1950s America.
