MOVIN’ ON DOWN

      

The old TV show, “The Jeffersons” had theme song with words movin’ on up. George Jefferson lived in a nice apartment and owned dry cleaning store. His goal was to grow his business and to live a good life by of all things, working. His idea of income redistribution was for his customers to distribute their income by paying him for the service he provided. He could move up the income ladder of the economic system without depending on the government. He went to work each day to get gain as the Bible tells us in James 4:13.

However, the Jefferson type redistribution isn’t what the nut job (a.k.a. Barack Hussein Obama) had in mind when he told Joe the plumber that he believed in income redistribution. No, his idea is to take from the “haves and give to the have nots” ala Lyndon Johnson, Karl Marx and many others. They believe, as does the nut job and his supporters, dupes, and useful idiots, that those who work, invest, save and otherwise move up the economic ladder have somehow deprived others of what is rightfully theirs. Hardly a week passes that letters to Voices in the Arkansas Democrat-Gazette do not contain complaints from the writers that the greedy, wicked, uncaring “rich’ have deprived the poor down trodden, poverty stricken  masses of income and consigned them to a life of despair and desperate need.

To prove that those who follow God and claim Christ don’t follow the scriptures about helping others, they try to make believers feel guilty (some are guilty of not helping) by claiming that Jesus approved of the government forcing distribution of income to help the needy. Not only is it false, it is a blatant misrepresentation of the teachings, and to make it worse, the same ones who revile the Bible and Christians use the Bible in an attempt to prove their point and that good reader, includes the nut job, and all those who follow behind his stench.  He claims to be a follower of Jesus and is anything but, which is the inescapable conclusion after listening to his diatribes.

Yet, the incessant lies continue from him and his crowd, of Pelosi, Reid, Frank and the rest, who think that those with more owe those with less part of their more Not only is that not biblical, it defies good sense that those who work and contribute to the well being of their families, the neighbor hood, and the republic are enemies of all the is good and decent, economically, morally and governmentally.

Constantly, the refrain from the dupes, fools and idiots is that Christians, conservatives, Republicans and those with sense is one of they are ruining the country with their insistence on not helping the poor. They cry that those aforementioned don’t care about others. Not only is that not true, the facts show that conservatives, Republicans and Christians, give far more to charity than liberals, unbelievers and others. That is fact and proves that what is being said is a lie. In fact, the word lie is an apt word for the redistribution crowd.

History is full of the failed attempts to make government redistribution work in any manner, and yet, the fools continue to push the failed agenda of redistribution. The gullible and the useful idiots go along for the ride that will only end in despair and ruin for all. That isn’t movin’ on up; movin’ on down is what is taking place and the thud at the bottom when it is reached will be the republic’s final destruction.

George Jefferson had the right idea for economic security; work. The nut job and his blind followers have the prescription for economic destruction.
