I am very close to 60 years old. I spent my life working and when I started my business, I worked 16 to 20 hour days, sometimes seven days a week for many, many years. Only by the grace of God Himself, did it pay off. At one point, I had almost 50 employees. All of which got a very good salary, benefits (of which I paid 100% even for families), and working conditions. Because I REFUSED to play reindeer games with the federal government, I broke it up, selling pieces and dismantling the rest. Because I was so lucky I actually was able to put back what I considered at the time enough money to last for my retirement. Because I also purchased some land that no one else wanted at the time, I am able to raise some cattle and have a working ranch that at the end of the day, breaks pretty much even after I pay myself and the ranch hands. Because of fracking and other advances in drilling, several old natural gas and oil wells on my property were reopened and I get a very small royalty from that.
Now because I worked, struggled, and saved for my retirement, I happen to fall into the category of a 'millionaire.' Simply because that is what you need to retire on. I have been told that I do not pay my 'fair share.' Really? And what exactly is my fair share? I paid taxes on the money that I put away for retirement and guess what, I'll have to pay taxes on it AGAIN when and if I dip into it for my retirement. If I should die in my sleep tonight, my children will have to pay over 50% on anything they might inherit.
I listen to Democrats and I am the 'bad guy.' I took risks, I worked very hard for a very long time and I am the bad guy. Nothing is said about the money I give to my church and to charity. Nothing is said about the time I spend serving food to the homeless or the time I spend working at the Veteran's center. Nothing is said about the families that were able to do what they wanted because I paid them very well. No, according to the Democrats and their mouthpieces, the OWS, I am a horrible person because I don't pay my fair share, even though no one can tell me what my fair share really is.
I listen to Barry and it's an "us" against "them". And I am a "them". The Democrats and the Republicans spend money like a drunk man with a credit card. Now the bill is due and according to the Democrats, I have to pay the bill because they were stupid. You give money to people who don't want to work. You encourage people to believe that the government will do everything and be everything for them and then you come to my door with a gun and you STEAL from me to give it to someone else. You tell me that I must be more compassionate and that the government is the only way to really help people, when I know by living with Native Americans all my life, that the government is the antithesis to everything that will make you personally successful. To rely on the government is like selling your soul to the devil.
A wise man once said, "You will know them by their works." Never listen to what they say... just look at what they do. Democrats have proven to me that they want a country of sheep. They want you to stand in line at a government office and they want you to behave yourself and do what you're supposed to do, because if you do then the government will take care of you. I've said it before. I'm an American. I don't and I will not stand in line. And I will only allow the man to come to my door and steal from me once or twice. After that, I will do what is necessary to protect what I worked so hard to get. I'll move my money from the US to somewhere else and I will pay someone to make sure that the politicians in Washington (who you Democrats just absolutely love) won't get a penny more than I absolutely have to pay. I love my country and I've went to war for her before... You can push only so hard before someone pushes back.
