"New Republican Party" = Communism

These new Republicans yell about "Socialism"- yet what they spout is actually Communism.  Yes we do have socialist parts to our government.  Necessary unless we want to go back to the times when families stayed together - many generations under one roof - and took care of each other- of course "paying" for all their family's and extended family members' needs.  That time is long gone.  Yes, someday we will return to that because that is God's way of "Socialism".
Communism was based more on our society than Socialism. Yes, they adopted a 2 part legislature- a Prime Minister or Premier and President Pro-Tem- (President/Vice-President) and a court system modeled after ours.  However, I think partial Socialism (some socialistic programs) has worked all over the world, but some countries' governments are nearly all socialism.
Yes, Communist was a lie- arranged by powerful rich men that enslaved their own people to second class workers for them, starting or trying to convince them that all would be able to start and stay the same. It did not.  And now America's wealthy try to tell us we can be like them "someday".
Capitalism was established by the very wealthy and the concept would have or should have worked well. Many self-made men accomplished and gained much during the early years of Capitalism.  Yet through corruption and greed and power hungry men of no morals-America's wealthiest- it does not serve our country at all, merely empowers and enriches those men.
Now we have men like Romney- children born of these self-made men into a world where they have no clue what the working class lives like or needs.  These "New Republicans" who use their wealth and position to give their own children and uneven playing field when it comes to Military service, college and job opportunities.  Romney has 5 sons- not a single one has served in the Military; nor has Romney himself.  These powerful, wealthy families create uneven advantages for their children in industry... their actions are not unlike the robber barons of yesterday.
Some of my children were present at a family conversation about inheritance. One of my most cherished moments in my life happened in that conversation when my oldest son stated that he and his siblings have already received the greatest inheritance any one could because their dad taught them to work and the ethics of hard work.
In my nearly 36 years of teaching- I devoted my time, often til 7:00PM or later and almost all weekend to my students. Now I fear that I could be homeless, definitely not rich enough to provide my 6 children with a substantial inheritance. I have worked since I was 10 years old, my dad was a truly great man who taught us hard work and did NOT have an inheritance for me or my brothers.  My brothers and I bought our own cars and paid for our own insurance.  My dad taught me the value of hard work and this is the inheritance I have passed on to my own children.... and they are grateful for it.
My children have served missions for our church, joined the Military, put themselves through college (as I did). I have sons who are Engineers, Electronic Technician Supervisors, Military Career, and Architectural Engineer.  I am proud- though pride may be a sin- I am extremely proud of my children.
Now I look at Romney's 5 boys who have had to work for nothing... they were born into privilege, they have not served in the Military for their country, nor will they.  Romney may be a great man in many ways, but he truly is out of touch with America's working class and this "New Republican" group is so far out of touch with the reality of American ideals and the Constitution that it is truly frightening.
People need to read the scriptures, study history, study the Constitution and look at what the money and wealthy power mongers are doing to our country.  No, it is not a sin to be wealthy, but it IS a sin to walk in dishonesty, greed, immorality and thievery to get and keep and add to that wealth at the cost of the very society in which you live.  We ARE all God's children and we ALL have the same rights to dignity, care and well being... and we ALL owe that to each other as God's children.

Medicare and Social Security Do Not Need To Be Cut!

I wish I could send this to all our so called "honorable" congressmen/women in both the House and Senate.  It sis a true disgrace that they not only hold our great country as hostage, but last night I listened to a Republican Senator talk about the need for the elderly, that cannot afford any cut in money or benefits, then continue to lie in this inflated world that men like he have created.  He stated that talk after talk was being made for a "compromise" that may raise the Bush tax cut up to about 30%, not to the Reagan era tax rate of 36% that he admitted would solve most if not all the problem.  He stated that all compromises issued by the Republicans had to have cuts in Medicare and/or Social Security (in order for the rich to keep most of the Bush tax cuts). He said BOTH have to happen (a slight raise in taxes AND cuts in Medicare) as it is "unfair" for the wealthy to have to pay and those that really rely on Medicare don't have to contribute- you know those that are in fear for their livelihood.

I believe that it was the wealthy along with the Bush administration who brought about the deregulation of banks, and raised the tax cut from 30% to 36% (that almost ended our financial system and still tells banks what to do without worry as we will take care of them).  Imagine during the great fifties when the wealth DID use their wealth to make a great country, their tax rate was 91% and yet they still kept their money and their businesses here. I do not ask or want for the Eisenhower 91% (the last great Republican to me)---

I am only glad that Obama was in power to make the deal he did holding the banks that participated in the bailout accountable to the best he was able. Yes they had to pay the money back, which they did so they could then pay out over $68,000,000.00 in bonuses to their executives.  I guess because they had done such a good job of trying to destroy and sell out country.  Heaven forbid we should again have the Bush policy of them getting a bailout with no questions asked and no requirement to pay it back.  Yes those were his words and what he did with the bail out of AIG.

I am extremely angered that all congressmen (but double or more the Republicans) thinks that all the might and perks that they have given themselves are more important than the people they represent (HA!).  Yes times have gone the new Republican way of  Bush and Rove (in presidential or vp power since the 80's).  The only exception are the two Democratic presidents that have cut spending and made great effort to balance the budget and cut the deficit- one cutting it by 2/3 and leaving a surplus, while the other cut the 7 trillion budget to 5 trillion (this was stated by the Republican who responded after the State of the Union Address).  Bush-Rove are the new Republicans and until a much needed 3rd party is in the mix they will try to continue gaining wealth on the backs of working Americans.

Yet I wish to strongly show how Congress voted themselves the best health care imaginable while denying us even workable health care; they vote themselves wages for life (even if they are in 2 years), and the vote to make themselves the only people who can use/benefit from insider trading and not go to jail.

Yes; if they got rid of their own perks, voted for by themselves, they could pay for it all.  Serving your country is very honorable.  These men do NOT SERVE their country as elected but hide behind committees to keep from governing how it should be done and not as what the scriptures (that they are so fond of claiming they believe in), would call them an abomination of self seeking power.

Oh; I forgot the Reagan-Bush Supreme Court that even includes one person that does not ever open his mouth except to vote for what ever the new Republicans want.  I view them not as guardians of the Constitution, but as part of the same abomination.

Homeland Security was voted in without most even reading it.  Another place where major cuts could be made.  It could cover all cost and save thousands to millions of lives and lives of suffering if cut in half.

 Yet; as I say the cuts that count will never be looked at by the new Republicans that started them. We need God's help to guide us but we are the people who must vote the new Republicans out of office forever!
