This presidential election is going to be about one thing and one thing only:
‘Do you believe that America is built on the notion that free people engaging in free enterprise is the BEST thing we can do as a nation …. or that everything flows from the federal government?’
That is pretty much it, ladies and gentlemen. We have always had the debate in our national elections over more or less ‘control’ from a centralized authority in Washington starting with the debates in the Constitutional Convention in Philadelphia in 1787.
This one, however, goes far beyond just what the ‘proper role of government’ should be in America. This election fundamentally comes down to whether you believe that all freedom, all prosperity, all benefits in America comes primarily from our government or from private people making decisions on their own every single day.
President Obama represents a major change from virtually every other American President in our history in his outlook on free enterprise and capitalism. His actions, policies and words over the past 3.6 years as Chief Executive have skewed heavily towards the notion that he believes the federal government is the ‘be-all/end-all’ when it comes to bestowing favors and blessings on the American people from Washington.
His every utterance oozes with the notion that anyone who succeeds in America must have done something ‘wrong’ to have succeeded somehow. He views every business as a conduit for more redistribution of benefits and programs as dictated by his Administration and friends in Congress. The notion that businesses exist primarily to provide a return on investment for the owners and shareholders seems to bounce off of him like a rubber ball.
He views business with disdain as he describes the ‘failed policies of the past’ under Bush, Clinton, Bush 41 and Ronald Reagan when a total of close to 50 million new jobs were created in America as ‘trickle-down economics’. He has vowed to never allow the United States to return to ‘those days’ which were nothing but loaded with heady job growth for the most part of the last 30 years.
