Dependency vs. Self-reliance

Dependency vs. Self-reliance

This is something that was part of a letter I wrote to my son in Florida two months ago that I think would be worth being a post for Facebook: 

I’m not optimistic about what’s ahead for this country no matter what Republican candidate becomes the nominee in 2016.  With 47% of the electorate paying no income tax and living in a state of dependency on government and are content on staying there we’re not far from the Socialists having a permanent majority that will lead to a single party state and dictatorship.  We’re not far from dictatorship right now as Obama runs the country through the EPA and HHS and whatever other agency he can use to get around the Constitution. 

There has never been a Republic that has ever lasted much more than 200 years.  We’re behind schedule right now.  Gimmeites prevail to elect power hungry dictators that hold out bait to them, having very little awareness that there’s a hook in that bait.   They’re like termites.  Termites destroy houses.  Gimmeites destroy republics.  Just imagine how much better off we’d be if the mindset of the people in this country embraced the attitudes of Doctor Ben Carson who stresses personal responsibility and self reliance instead of a bunch of people who want to live like fish in a water tank waiting for someone to feed them.
