They Don’t Listen ‘Cause They Don’t Care

They Don’t Listen ‘Cause They Don’t Care
8/19/10

Why doesn’t the government that we elected listen to us? A common call from many Americans.

They Don’t Listen ‘Cause They Don’t Care or, more appropriately “We Don’t Listen ‘Cause We Don’t Care” should be the mantra of the Obama Administration and Congress – if they were to actually be transparent.

Why should they listen –they’re the ruling class and they know what’s best for the unwashed masses. In their eyes, the American public is just too dumb to know what’s good for us, modern day Neanderthals that they are forced to put up with.

Why should they listen? The Democratic Liberals and Progressives consider themselves the intellectual elite who look down upon the people as ignorant peons – nothing more.

We want things like affordable and accessible health care – oh no, that’s only reserved for members of Congress and the socialistic insurance czar, Donald Berwick, who will receive the “Cadillac” insurance plans (along with their crony Union bosses).

Let’s look at the ever growing list:

The withering economy and rising unemployment – During the Obama campaign, the biggest promise was to turn the economy around and decrease unemployment below 8%. Although it’s the number one concern for most Americans, it seems like this has “taken a back seat” to just about every new issue that arises.
Why aren’t they listening to us – ‘cause they don’t care.

Health Care – Well over 65% of the American public did want Health Care reform, but not government controlled – and mandated – health care coverage. We also didn’t want the government to take over the insurance industry, which is essentially what they’ve done. Still, over 60% of the people want the government health care law repealed because we’re now seeing premiums increasing significantly and know the quality of care will decrease significantly.
Why aren’t they listening to us – ‘cause they don’t care.

Takeover of Banks, Auto Industry, Student Loans and implementation of Financial Reform Law - Americans didn't want it, but it too was simply forced upon us.

Stimulus Plan – Most Americans were against this poor use of money, and we were right – the government shelled out almost a trillion dollars and hardly created any private sector jobs (oh yeah, they created plenty of needless, highly paid government jobs, but that’s not going to help our ailing economy).
Why aren’t they listening to us – ‘cause they don’t care.

Out of control spending – A large and growing number of Americans know that this rampant borrowing and money printing is getting completely away from us. We’re at over 13 ½ trillion and increasing literally by the second. What does the government do – they continue to borrow, print more money and spend, spend, spend.
The "euphemism" for what Bernanke / the Fed is now doing is known Quantitative Easing. This is where the government buys government securities from the market which in turn increases the money supply by flooding banks and other financial institutions with capital in order to try to promote increased lending / liquidity. The problem with this, is that it only serves to devalue the dollar - which could cause a currency collapse, and, once the money is "unleashed" into the economy, will inevitably result in rampant inflation! Too many dollars chasing too few goods and services = INFLATION.
Why aren’t they listening to us – ‘cause they don’t care.

Taxes – Non-extension of the Bush tax cuts, which will ultimately result in the biggest tax increase in our history. This will affect everyone – not just those making over $250,000 per year – everyone. Then there’s the 1% transaction tax that they’re pushing – doesn’t sound like a lot, but once this tax is instituted, they’ll have the ability (and motivation) to increase it rapidly. Value added tax / VAT – a tax on consumption – on everything you buy (it’s not here yet, but you can “bet your bottom dollar” it will be). The Estate tax / death tax – your survivors will have to give the government between 40 – 60% of your estate. America cannot afford these kind of taxes, especially with impending inflation – and the government knows it.
Why aren’t they listening to us – ‘cause they don’t care.

Immigration – Have you ever heard of the Federal government suing one of our states for trying to do a job that the Feds should be doing, but will not do. Over 70% of the American public sides with Governor Brewer in Arizona. Despite numerous protests from the people, the government forges on with their absurd law suit.
Why aren’t they listening to us – ‘cause they don’t care.

Offshore Drilling – One mistake, albeit tragic, out of tens of thousands of offshore oil well drilling over the past decades and the federal government wants to institute a six month blanket moratorium on offshore oil drilling. And don’t think for a second, if they have their way, this moratorium won't last much longer than just six months. The public has protested loudly – the main stream liberally slanted media, of course, completely ignored these protests. This moratorium will kill over 6% of our GDP, cost over 20,000 jobs and 30% of the income in the gulf, while at the same time, making the US more dependent on America hating foreign oil producers. This would hurt our already hurting economy big time. We won the first attempt at the moratorium, but the Federal government is now trying a different angle.
Why aren’t they listening to us – ‘cause they don’t care.

Cap & Trade – This proposed law (scam of Biblical proportions) will serve to vastly increase energy costs for the American public – consumers and private sector businesses alike, while making a handful of corrupt backers of this law very wealthy and more powerful, hence more capable of retaining power and control. We have begged them to drop this – the Senate shot it down earlier this year – but Prince Harry Reid vows to continue to try to get it passed next year.
Why aren’t they listening to us – ‘cause they don’t care.

Building a mosque by ground zero – The biggest attack on US soil in history, costing thousands of American and foreign lives is being used by the “moderate” Muslims (quotes are used around moderate because these are simply radical extremists in “sheep’s clothing”) to build a tribute / shrine to their perceived victory over the United States. This is spitting in the eye of all Americans and especially those who lost loved ones in that infamous attack on our country. The supporters of this travesty say it is to create unity and healing – it’s simply emotionally crushing the family and friends of the victims and insulting to their memory. Former Mayor Giuliani says a proposed project for an Islamic center and mosque near Ground Zero is creating more division, anger and hatred. He continues to say that if the center’s leader Imam Feisal Abdul Rauf was really committed to healing and bonding, he would build this center and mosques elsewhere.
If he does go through with this, he is not a healer, he’s a warrior. This is a major “dividing point” in America and the biggest issue in the media today – over 70% of all Americans (not just New Yorkers) do NOT want this mosque built two blocks away from Ground Zero, but the federal government supports it. In fact, Nancy Pelosi is threatening to investigate the funding of those that oppose the building of this mosque – how do you think that makes the surviving family, friend, first responders, etc. feel? On the other hand, they don’t want to investigate who is funding this $100 million dollar insult of a project, but are spending $16,000 of our taxpayer dollars for this radical Iman Rauf to gather support (and raise more funding dollars, despite what he says) in the Muslim world – preposterous!

At this point, one might wonder: Then what do they care about? That’s, unfortunately, a very easy answer. What this administration cares about is:

-Staying in power
-Dividing the people of America, thus making them easier to “conquer” – Divide and Conquer
-Ruling, not governing, the American people
-Creating a police state where they “make up the rules as they go” with no constraints whatsoever
-Making Congress irrelevant (that’s already essentially been accomplished)
-Penalizing honest productivity, which, by the way, is what created this once great country and economy
-Encouraging dependence on the rapidly growing federal government
-Controlling every aspect of the human experience – social, financial and liberty
-Transforming our country into a Socialist / Communist society


This administration is trying to condition / train the public to be capable to “think the unthinkable” – that’s the ruse. Make this outrageous, radical agenda become so commonplace that the public just throws up their hands and decides: That’s just the way it is.

We, as Americans, cannot let this happen – get out on November 2nd and let this Socialist ruling class government know that they will not get away with this – we are not stupid, and thanks only to conservative radio and TV, we are no longer uninformed.

We will not fall divided, because United We Stand!
