Whose money is it anyways?

No matter what your thoughts are about tax dollars, you will get a wide range of opinion on how it should be spent. There are two major schools of thought and they break down along party lines, the tax dollars belong to the government, and the tax dollars are the people’s and the government is just the stewards of those tax dollars.

Liberals believe the tax dollars are the governments to spend as directed by liberals for liberal cause, which usually amounts to virtue signaling. Liberals believe the “general welfare” means that tax dollars can be spent on any program to help anyone for any reason without any means testing.

Conservatives on the other hand view tax dollars as a trust we extend to our stewards in government, and they should be careful on what those tax dollars should be spent on. We are talking about the federal government in this case but it could be extended to state and local governments as well.

Bottom line is this some serious questions need to be ask and answered; Can the federal government act charitable on someone else’s behalf? If you don’t think it is charitable for the government to spend money, should you be forced to pay tax dollars to support it?

Freedom and Liberty or Social democracy? Ya can’t have both!!!

You can’t regulate happenstance out of life. Accidents happen, unforeseen illnesses happen, and things just go wrong as we live our lives the way we see fit!!!

Oh you can try to minimize risk, but in the final analysis life happens!!! Social democrats want to control the chaos, and the only way to accomplish this is to control people and what they can or can not do. Social democrats force people to believe the way they do so the control is easier. Allowing people to control their own lives is just foreign to their way of thinking!!!

Freedom and liberty is about taking care of oneself and family before anything else. After our basic needs are meet through personal industry, then and only then can we work to improve our community and society as a whole!!! Social democrats want us to take care of society first before anything else at the expense of community and family!!!

Ryancare lite

Today congress will try to vote on repealing Obamacare, and replacing it with Ryancare. A vast majority of Americans are concerned about the outcome of a vote on the ACA and repealing it.

For the sake of the constitution and America, the ACA needs to repealed without a replacement that keeps the government in charge of our healthcare. To do anything else would be to go back on campaign promises that were made to the American people, mainly to repeal Obamacare!!!

Anytime government tries to control anything that a sovereign individual should be taking care of themselves, it never ends well. In order for the government to handle stuff, freedom and liberty, of necessity, needs to be curtailed!!! This is the nature of government that is socialistic, freedom and liberty die, so safety and security imposed by the government can take it’s place.

There are no guarantees in life except from God. So knowing this how can anyone believe that government can guarantee anything will work if we just give them control?

The left and SCOTUS

It is amazing how the left want’s an activist judge on the bench at SCOTUS, but will not come right out and say it. The left want’s to control all aspects of government including SCOTUS, never mind that SCOTUS is an independent third branch of our federal government.

The confirmation hearings for judge Neil Gorsuch have been taking place this week and as predictable as the sun coming up in the east, there is a vast political divide in the senate judiciary committee. And just as predictable are the lefts questions that pander to their ill informed base.

I know this is a lifetime appointment (My hope is the convention of states can put term limits on SCOTUS) and great care should be taken, however to use your questions to scare your base into believing a lie about the constitution speaks volumes to a persons character, and those who keep voting them into office!!!
