On the average, I do not like to impose my political views into my business community,
but this I had to address because I think that it is very revealingabout the mentality
shift in our Country.
Recently a presidential candidate asked the question to a group of people:
“Are you better off than you were 4 or 8 years ago,under this administration?”
The underlying situation he is stating is “ I could do better”. That’s fine,
I understand the campaign game, and I am fine with it.
I would return the question by asking “compared to what”? I can hardly count how
many products and services have been created over the last 4-8 years, and brought
to market that save time and money, that I could spend days on just that subject
alone. I’ll just interject that if you are reading this on a blog or found it using
google.com, these are just two services or platforms that have been brought to fruition,
in the last 4-8 years.
So the answer to the question for me, is “absolutely”.
Here is what really bugs me. The question was specifically aimed at your fiscal
situation, and the insinuation is again “I can do better or, I can help you more”.
I think that it’s interesting how people put so much emphasis and buy into a statement
like that. Honestly, other than raising or dropping taxes,how much effect does a President
or Politician really have when it comes to your bottom line or “Pocket Book”.
It is not their responsibility and never has been, to make your life comfortable. The bill
of rights states that you have an unalienable right to “The Pursuit of Happiness” and says
nothing about providing happiness, and I wouldn’t want to have it any other way. I am very
excited to live in a time when you can very quickly take your future into your owns hands
in a free enterprise society.
I just think that is sad that someone who is supposed to be in a role model situation has
to get you to follow him or her by continuously saying how bad your situation in life is,
and insinuates that if you elect them than everything will be better.
It’s about your American dream and making it happen yourself, go get it done.
