Republicans and
Democrats Steal from their own Children
Perhaps I exaggerate when I say it’s “like animals eating their young.” High
school and college students are becoming informed through various Libertarian presentations
sponsored by non-profit organizations like Voter Outreach and the League of
Women’s Voters about the many ways that their parents have been living off of
money borrowed from their children and grand children. As kids find it harder and harder to
pay for transportation and housing, they experience the first effects of
parental theft. They are not so
concerned about the deterioration of their medical and retirement–yet. However, these are all the symptoms of
their parents misconduct and lack of responsibility, especially as it concerns
Republican and Democratic affiliations that use their kids incomes as
collateral to finance their own spending sprees. After all, for the last 100 years, we have seen generations
rewarded for being irresponsible and dishonest. In fact, most generations have actually been trained to be
this way through socialist redistribution of the wealth programs promoted by
the rich and powerful in Washington and in many state governments supported by
the parents who keep rationalizing their party’s un-American activities. This is passed on, from generation to
generation, through most public education facilities subjecting high school and
college students to pure propaganda.
What can High School and College students do?
High school and college students could literally reform America. They are the future. Ideally they would take the best from the lessons of history and then improve upon that knowledge base, something their parents have failed at miserably. Kids must ask the important questions unanswered by their parents. The Internet is something they grew up with and is a tremendous tool. Then students must act on what they have learned. Thanks to the Libertarians and other real Americans, the voting age was lowered to 18 in 1972. Therefore, finding answers to questions is easier and being able to vote accordingly is now possible. (In Placer County, over 80% of the 18 to 24 year olds are registered to vote. Over 65% of them have been actually voting. Placer County students are a very powerful group.)
Here is a list of possible questions students could ask themselves and then go to the Internet to find answers.
1. What percent of the average American income goes to taxes?
2. What percent goes to bureaucracy such as paper work and time standing in lines?
3. What are the reasons so many foreigners hate the United States government?
4. If average Americans spend 20% more than they make, why aren’t there more bankruptcies?
5. Why does the Committee on Presidential debates have only 4 democrats and 4 Republicans on it? What happened to the other qualified parties?
6. Why can political office holders spend so much time campaigning rather than doing the job they are being so highly paid for?
7. Why is Washington full of statues of high office holders that failed to keep the peace?
8. Can a democracy be irresponsible? If so, how does it happen?
9. Why might the United States be considered a totalitarian state?
10. Why do we have inflation?
11. Why do Politicians get away with crimes?
12. In what ways is the United States becoming more and more similar to the old Soviet Union?
13. Why do Republicans and Democrats blame each other for the same things?
14. Why are elections between Democrats and Republicans becoming closer and closer?
Then you could get more specific with questions. For example:
1. Why does Halburton get huge no-bid contracts to rebuild Iraq while most local homeowner association’s contracts have to have at least three bidders?
2. Why are these contracts given when Vice President Dick Cheney has such a huge conflict of interest in Halburton? How much has he made from Halburton and what was he paid for? How much more does he stand to make because the contract was given to Halburton?
3. How much does the United States really owe? (Hint: US General Accounting Office (GAO) – Off book debt and even that will be only half the story)
4. How much does John Doolittle give to Placer County Supervisor’s campaigns? Why won’t his office tell you? How come his voting record is not posted on his website?
5. Why is it that third parties are actually not represented in the US Government?
6. Why is the US one of the only remaining super powers that doesn’t allow third parties to enter presidential debates? (Since Ross Perot)
7. Why is it so important for so many people “to be right rather than be right?”
High school and college students will be disturbed by the answers they find. They will find that their parents will rationalize unsupportable positions. This is one time that most students will not find their parents there for them. Parents will instead often become apologists for their own parties and will see themselves as being under attack. For many of them, it is more important to be right than to be right. Kid’s surrender to this and that’s why most kids initially join the same parties as their parents. Becoming more honest and disciplined will not be disloyal to parents. Instead it might actually help save them both financially and spiritually.
Why Parents should support
their kids in changing the tradition of theft and laziness.
Parents have failed to keep America out of foreign wars. They have failed to be economically responsible. They have failed to support the Constitution of the United States, which for the most part, dealt with many of these issues in a responsible way.
Since parents have charged their own overspending lifestyles to their children and grandchildren, they have actually cut their own throats in the process. Who’s going to support them in their old age? Where will the money, such as Social Security, come from? Broke kids that can’t find a decent job? Kids that are already encumbered with the largest debt in our history? Who will afford to pay for infrastructure such as roads, bridges and dams? Certainly not a youth that is dependent on government to make all their decisions for them.
Parents need to help kids become disciplined and honest. They need to help them fix government and reduce its caretaking responsibilities so that kids can become free and independent rather than irresponsible and dependent. That is a parents job.
Lastly, if parents want to have a war, they should go fight the war and go do the rebuilding. Don’t send your kids to do your dirty work. Be a man. Be a woman. Quit hiding behind your kids and then stealing their future to pay for your present!
