I didn't sleep well last night and as I sat here in the office about 2 am, I got to wondering. I thought I'd share my wondering with y'all and maybe y'all can worry about it as well. Or wait until the Holiday Hokum is over, then worry about it!
This country became great, a world leader, and number one power in the world for at least eight reasons;
We out invented
We out created
We out manufactured
We out innovated
We out engineered
We out farmed
We out soldiered
We (per capita) out worked and out produced the rest of the world.
Unfortunately, we have redefined the word 'out':
We have now outsourced manufacturing to China, Korea & Taiwan
We have now outsourced technical engineering to India and others
We have environmentally gagged inventiveness and and innovation
We have death taxed family owned farms into corporate behemoths
We turn our heads when illegals come into to do our stoop labor and the gov't turns it's head when the corporations cheat on Visa rules to bring in cheap Hi tech engineers.
This now makes us a country of 300 million 'users' who simply flip burgers and supply services to each other but create nothing............ 60 million don't even pay taxes, so have no concern over gov't spending and programs, they just want their share.
I'd love for someone to tell me that I am looking at half glass of water wrong. That they have heard any 2010 Candidates address these issues...
Maybe this is just a personal guilt trip because I realize that at my age, I am on the user list now, not the producer list......
