All three boys were state wrestling freestyle champions.
Here is how Obama's world of class warfare works in my family.
James, Dr. James, would have been the poster boy for Obama's "middle class" citizen. While he was struggling to finish medical school at San Francisco, he belonged to that middle class Obama "is fighting for."
And then a funny thing happened to Doc. He graduated, finished his four year internship in San Diego and is the head ER doctor in a near-by hospital. He went from making nothing and piling up $270,000 in debt, to making $250,000 a year and paying $30,000 a quarter in taxes. He moved from middle class to the hated upper class, just a year ago.
And the goons in the Occupy Wall Street crowd would hate my son and blame him for all those things they do not have. Ditto Obama -- and James knows it. James makes two house payments a month, one for the home in which he lives and the other, an equal payment for his student loan, and he will do so for the next 30 years. He owns two cars, both used, three motorcycles - all used. ObamaCare, if allowed to stand, will eventually draft him into the service of others, condemning his salary, and forcing him to "pay society back for the opportunity it provided him" to be a successful doctor.
The Lefties who read this will cheer, no doubt. But James' life is part of the reason why we, as a family, are working against this Marxist agenda being published out of Washington, D.C.
Look, we all live in the same society and experience the same matrix of opportunity.
And that "matrix of opportunity" is the creation of our founding fathers.
It has existed since the first days of our nation. No one on the Left can take credit. Not a single person.
Should the successful give back to society? Certainly, but that is not to say that their gifts should be extracted from them by force of law and take-over by the Federal government. Such does not work anywhere in the world. It is a puzzle to me why seemingly intelligent people think that the redistribution of wealth by force, moves all of society out of the middle class and into ownership status. Understand that "pure D" socialism cannot work in this country for two reasons:
First, capitalism is systemic to the functioning of this country. You cannot change that without a financial collapse and the destruction of the job-producing class. You should know that Marx believed that financial collapse would be followed by a violent uprising, the end result being "power to the people." The war he envisioned was one between the King class and the rest of society. That is not going to happen here. The war would be a civil war, and it would be fought between members of the middle class construct. I have more than one gun. If the Libs decided to push us to war, they would be fighting me and millions "of my kind." They would not be fighting the "king's class." 99% of us are middle class. We all have guns and we all would fight. The Left would be fighting to take my home from me. and I would be fighting to save my home. I would burn it to the ground before it would ever be taken from me by the force of others.
Secondly, home ownership for all families in America; free education through the 4th year of college; healthcare that is comprehensive for every man, woman and child, and borderless borders cannot work. There is not enough money in this world -- in this world - to finance this American dream. It is "all good," but it is, also, all impossible.
