Obama's Loafer Nation
American Thinker ^ | 2/10/2014 | Ed Lasky

President Obama has broken many promises. One that he has not broken is his boast that he would "fundamentally transform America." He and his fellow Democrats are on the verge of doing just that by turning us into a nation of loafers.

A loafer is an idle person who lives off others. Barack Obama seemingly has no problem with such people. He might even relate to them. He does have a serious problem with his own work ethic, and finds work boring.

Now that's just plain weird. I DO have a problem with his work ethic(is there one?) and I find him pretty boring. I suppose when you're choomed out a lot you become a slacker. (I know, medicinal purposes only, blah, blah) He's tryin' to turn makers in to takers. (I know there's a lot of temptation to take off on this one. Go for it!)

I went to Walmart this morning to prepare for the next round of snow coming here tomorrow and Wednesay.

I saw one of the rarest things I’ve seen in my 11 here in this North Georgia County.

There was a woman ahead of me at the checkout. She had an efficiently packed, extremely full cart of groceries. I watched her unload, etc. and saw all sorts of goodies, and some normal stuff, too.

At the end, which took a while, the bill came out about $250. Like always, I expected to see a Green Card with Two Peaches on it (the Georgia EBT card). To my astonished surprise, this lady pulled out a wad of $20 bills and counted it all out in cash! I was shocked. I can’t recall the last time I saw this here.

The problem with this ‘painting’ they are making of this New America of being home to tuck in the kids, cook dinner, etc. is you still can’t pay the bills. In fact, as inflation sets in at an increased rate...they will have even less, many more will lose everything they own for having surrendered to this progressive American dream.

How odd that they think the new part-time worker has money to maintain their lives. What part of losing everything now...do they not understand?

I ponder this year how I am to pay the thousands in taxes to federal, state, and local governments, property taxes etc. and healthcare. To grow my business I need to hire, but I cannot afford the taxes for them, UE compensation, or worker’s comp. And the rules to hire independents, no longer function appropriately. The burden and treadmill grows heavy and too quick. As many here note this situation will give rise to the independent contractor...with no employee’s.

We are at the brink and they are trying to set the stage for their failure or policies and our collapse.

The Current Occupant now squatting in the White Hut, in nominal governance of that territory once known as “the United States of America”, HAS fundamentally changed the whole concept of what constitutes “good and virtuous” in today’s world. “Just another lifestyle” is not necessarily the equivalent to what was being replaced/displaced.

What happens when the Big War comes? Who will man the guns? Maybe we better start learning Chinese. When the Chinese take over—they will not be for a loafer nation—No hard work—no food. Slaves are never permitted to be loafers.

The Chinese don’t have to send an army over here. Why would they want to? They are already own America and they didn’t have to fire a shot.
