Tomorrow many of you will go to the polls and vote. Typically people have their decision made up the night before the election, and tomorrow is probably the biggest day in history, in a very long time. I'm not gonna ask where you stand on abortion, gay marriage, illegal immigration, gun rights, etc, etc. I'm simply going to mention economics. I'm a single dad in California, I live under the poverty line, and work typically 40 to 60 hours to be there. I made $3,600 less this year than last year. That's with Obama as president. I literally can't imagine what next year will look like, or the year after. I'm worried I could be on the street, and lose just about everything. I implore you to vote Romney tomorrow, because he is a business man, and understands what is needed to balance a budget. We have 6 trillion in new debt, and the Federal government is the largest its ever been. There's no reason to blow money at a rate like this, and in your heart of hearts you know this isn't right. I'm asking to simply vote on economics. If you take out the social issues, which aren't really the main focus of Romney's campaign anyway, you're left with the same system we've had since our founding.
Its capitalism vs. socialism, and really its capitalism vs. communism. I'm broke, I don't fault the wealthy, for working hard and achieving things. And if it really came down to it wouldn't you rather be rich too? Obama says he's the champion of the middle class, but the middle class income has dropped under his so-called recovery. I work for a small business, I can tell you I live in the reality of how business has been cramped, and bogged down. This is an election of values. I'm trusting you have some, or there wouldn't be things you are passionate about, or care about. This election is not about the social issues, which are important to us, on either side of the aisle, this is about how to make prosperity for ourselves and for our children. You know how to make and recognize prosperity, government does not. Tomorrow is your opportunity to show that you know how to run your own life better than government does. That's what this is about in a nutshell. I simply can't afford to have government spend its whatever it wants whenever it wants trying to get me to live a certain way, and I think you know you can't afford it either. Go to the polls tomorrow with that in mind. Thanks for letting me borrow your time.
Already did! I had my ballot turned in last week. :)
ReplyDeleteNow we pray that God will guide us where we need to be as a nation and as an American culture. We need to re-instill a sense of patriotism in our children and hold tight to it!
