Success and Failure is Choice.


If ever there was a display of envy by an American president it was when Obama pledged the rest of his term fighting income inequality (when not fund raising and golfing). Imagine the audacity one possesses when they publicly proclaim that some people make more than other people, that some people have higher incomes than others, and he says that's not "just."  Maybe it is just me, but Obama's statement appears to be the rationale for pilfering an economic system on the verge of collapse, not social justice. The other guy has it, you want it, I will take it. President Obama's words speak volumes of his economic philosophy, and fundamental ideology. It conceals a most important deviation from American ideals and common sense because it ends up not advancing, but betraying, those who support it. Obama and his pawns have not empowered their legion of followers, they have enslaved them in a culture of dependence and entitlement, victimization and anger, instead of adeptness and hope. 

President Obama’s premise that you diminish income inequality by demeaning the successful, seeks to deny the successful the outcomes of their choices. Why, you may ask? Because, for the most part, income variation in a free society in general and America in particular is a result of different choices leading to different outcomes or consequences. Simply put; those who choose prudently and sensibly have a greater likelihood of success; those who choose unwisely and recklessly have a far greater likelihood of failure. Choose wisely my friends, your future depends on it.
