America deeply divided

We're rapidly approaching a fork in the road. Obama wants us to follow him to the left. That is a path taken by most European Countries like Greece, Italy, Spain and France. In the extreme it's a sharp left similar to Cuba and North Korea. I leave China out because Capitalism is rapidly taking over there. The left turn leads us to a more powerful Government that dramatically influences every part of Society. Social Programs will grow, Unions will grow and the cost of Government will grow. Politicians will have to find a way to pay for it. If Democrats take control in November they will need to dramatically raise taxes or we will go bankrupt as a country. No need to look in the crystal ball, just look at California.

If on election day we choose to take the right turn and elect Romney, our path will look very familiar. It's the path we've been on for over 200 years so there is no need to go into detail. The Private sector and The People will take control of our country again.

“A house divided against itself cannot stand.”

Abe Lincoln used those words in 1858 to describe a country that was careening toward civil war. Now we’re a house divided again and another civil war is coming, with the 2012 election as its Gettysburg.

Call it America’s coming civil war between the Makers and the Takers.

On one side are those who create wealth, America’s private sector–the very ones targeted by President Obama’s tax hikes announced Monday.

On the other are the public employee unions; left-leaning intelligentsia who see the growth of government as index of progress; and the millions of Americans now dependent on government through a growing network of government transfer payments, from Medicaid and Social Security to college loans and corporate bailouts and handouts (think GM and Solyndra).
