Waiting For The Magical Moment of Universal Equality To Happen In America




This is my comment to Nicholas Kristof, liberal columnist for the NYTimes
Regarding his article on June 4, 2011 - "Our Fantacy Nation: Where Tea Party budget policies may take us".

Mr. Kristof -
- So...if you resent the "wealthy" for living in gated communities, paying for their own security and private educations....in short, for their ability to pay their own way...
- And...you resent the "wealthy" for paying the lowest taxes...etc...in short, for their unwillingness to pay your way....
- Then, simply put...your argument is to redistribute all their wealth to you...or for the sake of you...
- But...you (our nation) are broke, busted, out of money, no longer able to make the lives of the poor magical, without borrowing to do it.
- This...you are willing to do at all cost...
- And...currently that cost is interest paid to China, collateralized by America's remaining assets.
- So...while you argue that our remaining wealth should be distributed to the poor,...
- Instead...you are redistributing that wealth to China...
- While...you wait for your magical moment of universal equality to happen in America.

Our country has always been a great nation because it was capitalistically driven AND socially conscious. It had both, economic and social accountability. We need both.

The current administration, fueled by the liberal media (that's you), is killing the economic engine that would create the tax nipple upon which you wish to suck.

While this administration is stimulating the unemployed in order to create jobs ("Pelosi"an Economics), American businesses have gone off shore wholly because Asia offers a better stimulus package to American business than America offers.

You laugh that the only fiscally and theologically conservative country that fits the Tea Party model is Pakistan. Then you assure us that, "...of course America will never become another Pakistan." Well let me asure you that without an economic engine to drive America, nor a manufacturing base, it most certainly will become another Pakistan (different religion, same overpopulated agricultural economy, banks reduced to depository banking only, credit-driven economy eliminated and what few "wealthy" do exist will live in gated communities and provide their own security and private education.

...and you, Mr. Kristof, will still be sitting at your desk, pontificating about the magical moment of universal equality that's just over the horizon.
